5/10
Uma God!

Warning: Spoilers
The costumes, some of the scenery, and some of the acting was pretty good. The plot seemed tired and the casting was way off! Although Uma Thurman looked great in Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, she looked very bland in this film. Very plain and boyish. She truly did look like a witch when she dressed in her weeding gown. She actually looked better as a boy than a maiden. The most beautiful bride in the world? Uh-uh. No way! And she could barely lift the sword let alone throw it to Robin Hood in the fight scene at the end. Likewise, Jurgen Prochnow as an Englishman? Ugh! He was over dramatic in his scenes and totally unbelievable. The actor playing the fool was also a bit too much of a wiseass, although the part was a funny addition to the story. Also, although the movie contained some pretty settings (babbling brook, nice forest coverage and a very cool looking castle), it seems those spots were used over and over again. Where was King Richard at the end? The final marriage of Marion to Robin was absent of God (marriage consisted of Marion kissing Robin through a small wreath held up by the friar) as was this movie.
