The main reason this doesn't work is that Alan Rickman is too sexy as the Sheriff and he's British whereas Kevin Costner is an abysmally bad actor, a bit of a minger and American.
The continuity editor should he been shot (take a good look at the fight on the waterfall between Little John and Robin - one minute he's wet, then he's dry).
It was filmed at Alnwick Castle. I like Alnwick. It's very pretty.

Alan Rickman, Morgan Freeman and the score by Michael Kamen's make the film worth watching. Kevin Costner's portrayal of Robin Hood is stiff and painful to watch but the music and the secondary roles make up for it.

Quite possibly the silliest ever made!! Story of RH completely shot to shreds and how the hell can you walk from the coast to Nottingham in Half a day?! Still, Alan Rickman was bloody funny.
Talking of RH. Does anyone find the BBC series on now so completely stupid or what. Again the Sheriff steals the show.

English legend with American actor.... hate it when they do this and visa versa. It's like casting Hugh Grant as Abe Lincoln.. which just wouldn't be right :/
But for entertainment value, it's worth watching even if they did rip the story apart.
BTW. the Denzil Washington comment was fantastic. That made me laugh so much. Morgan Freeman not DW ;)

Well, Kevin Costner looses his accent right after the beginning of the movie! Robin Hood: Men In Tights is a much better movie!!!

I loved it, thought it was excellent, has some top actors in that film, it isn't rated highly enough! although it does pee me off, how American Actors are used when we have so many amazing English ones!! I mean this is set in Nottingham and what percentage of the Cast is actually English?

Good movie to kill time to... Agree with comments about using American actors for an English story but hey that's Hollywood for you (look what they did to braveheart etc...)
Fell in love with Christian Slater due to this film (hey i was young and foolish and the fact he played a wuss like will scarlet meant nothing to me, he was still gorgeous in my eyes!)
And yes best role for Alan Rickman! Damn was he good!
