The dialouge and acting was terrible with actors limply reading their lines. To create Old English effect they play around with the syntax and apply accents that would get rejected from a small town Renaissance Fair. The punkish Robin lives in a commune and gives a long speech that makes Marx look like a Rockefeller. Most of the film concerns the relationships of the living individuals.
This film goes from Robin (Martin Thon) rescuing Maid Marion (Ramona Kuen) up unto his death and a bit afterwards if you catch my drift. They are more like zombies, or flesh eating undead and there is very little to see as it comes late in the film. Overall, as much as I hate ragging on movies and try not to be too hard on low-budget movies, taking into account the inevitable flaws and what to expect, but Robin Hood: Ghosts of Sherwood was really pathetic. The acting across the board is stiff with line delivery that reads of just reading their lines or last minute learning. The direction is stunning in how inept it is, while the characters are devoid of any engaging likability or personality, almost like human robots.
ROBIN HOOD LEGEND OF SHERWOOD SHERWOOD FOREST SOUND MOVIE
The action is incredibly lazy in choreography and have no suspense or fun whatsoever, actually on par with poorly executed action from an Asylum movie and even worse. It is also interminably dull, the movie is less than two hours but feels like an eternity. The story is equally disastrous, too thin to sustain the running time and too many scenes like irrelevant padding, if you are looking for any entertainment or excitement both are nowhere in sight. Not that the dialogue is worth hearing, because it high in cheese and low in wit and fun and so awkward in flow that it sounds like it was improvisatory. Further hindered by erratic sound quality, sometimes overbearing and sometimes distant, all the time drowning out the dialogue. The music is completely overblown and a long way from rousing, in fact a lot of it is a monotonous bore. The scenery is alright and the cinematography reasonably good but with such disjointed and confused editing and very drab lighting it was difficult to enjoy either. Robin Hood: Ghosts of Sherwood is badly made for starters. However, the promise it initially showed was completely squandered by terrible execution all round to the extent that it is far too amateurish to remotely pass as a guilty pleasure.
The DVD cover looked absolutely great and from it Robin Hood: Ghosts of Sherwood with decent execution had potential to be a guilty pleasure at least. This was a classic case of the DVD cover being vastly better than the movie itself.
