    This really is a Robin of Locksley for the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" generation.

    For the willing, it's still a story worth hearing. [2 Mar 2007, p.64]

    "Robin Hood" boasts most of the usual problems with low-budget epics.... But the show has wit and energy.

    Briskly paced and amusingly corny.

    If there is a chink to this series' armor, it is in the casting of Armstrong in the title role.

    You'll get hooked on it early and should stick around to the very end -- even though you have a good idea of what's coming.

    I wish the show had a little more verisimilitude--the peasants' homes look cheap, not poor--but it's zippy mindless fun. [5 Mar 2007, p.37]

    If this attempt to put a youthful spin on Robin Hood isn't bad per se, it's at best a warmed-over remake that would be diverting for kids if it wasn't occasionally quite violent.

    This is my new favorite show since the beginning you start to wonder what will happen next, and let me tell you; you will never be disappointed with the events. I am 14 years old and I don't remember the last time I cried so hard. It would be a dream to meet these actors.… Full Review »
