Robin Hood: Season One: DVD Review (2007)

8/09/2007 Posted by Admin

From the BBC, a lively retelling of the tale that once again makes it hip to steal from the rich and give to the poor.

This intentionally silly, promising first season of “Robin Hood” stars Jonas Armstrong in the lead, with Hungary posing as 12th-century England and taxes against the poor still an unacceptable proposition.

Humor, romance and swordplay commingle amid the tomfoolery, with the script embracing a modern wit that often sticks, and with the familiar characters nicely updated.

Grade: B+
