The Adventures of Robin Hood (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Tnis is a Christmas gift for my son but this has to be one of my favorite all time movies. I love Errol Flynn and his athleticism and his anything goes attitude made this a fun movie to watch. The cast was a oerfect match and played well off each other. A must see on regular dvd so it must be really spectacular in bluray.

Far from the earth-shattering restoration we were promised in this BluRay edition, this is just another direct port to BluRay from DVD.

The audio is still mono, a major disappointment. Still a great movie, but Warner Brothers didn't deliver the BluRay product they promised.

Those of us with upconverting players will get quality every bit as good from the plain old DVD version.

As opposed to the profane, dark, cruel anti-heroes of today, Errol Flynn smiles and laughs as he duels with the evil Sir Guy! Witty, humorous, charming and delightful. Action scenes are marvelously choreographed. The colors are brilliant and the action is fun (as opposed to being a showcase for special effects where blood splatters "realistically"). Ah, the good old days!

I'm sure if you have an HD DVD player this DVD would be fine, but I ordered it not realizing that it was specifically for HD machines, a
mistake that could have been easily avoided if that was stated clearly
in the description of the product.

I did find the DVD for regular machines but it's twice as much! Oh well, I'm ordering it anyway, cause I absolutely love this version of Robinhood!

i dont spend much money on buying movies, because you see them on cable. but, lots of movies that i remember arent playing anywhere. so, sometimes you have to purchase.
