This movie is an excellent movie. I am rarely a fan of robin movies but this was an impressive movie set in an atmosphere of old money and new money where a kid(Devon Sawa)whose family won the lottery must endure the constant criticism of children who come from old money. Robin fights these kids not in battle but in a competition fought at the end of his arrow. This has got to be one of the best teen movies of my past and one of Devon and Josh's greatest works. If you love the movies like Mighty Ducks, D2 and many other movies that puts a smile on your face when you think about your teen days,then this is definitely a movie you would love to see.
It was 3 years ago when my parents and my brother wanted to visit our village,and because of having a lesson I had to stay with my grandma in Athens.Having absolutely nothing to do,I turned on the TV.I came across a film who was about to start and I decided to watch it.I didn't manage to see the opening titles from the beginning,so I didn't know what I was watching.It was,otherwise,an amazing film.It contained everything:friendship,excitement,love story...I just loved it!When I opened a TV-guide to inform myself about the movie,I found out that in the time that it was broadcasting,a soap opera was to be broadcasted,so I got confused,because I really enjoyed the film,it changed my life and my relationship with my friends,as you see.I searched in 10 different TV-guides and only one of them mentioned that a film named "Robin of Locksley"was to be broadcasted.I cut this page but I lost it, and after that I searched many times in order to find more information(I knew only the title!),but only after 3 whole years I managed to find information here!I hope to find it on the Videostore so as to watch it again!!!!!!!!!I really recommend this film!
I've seen just about all of his movies, and this is in my top 3 favorites. His acting in this movie is excellant. Not only is he excellant, but also the plot. The mood, the scene, the characters, everything is just perfect. When you watch the movie you forget about everything else in your life and feel like you're actually in this Robin tale. To anyone who has not seen it, and even if you're not a fan of Devon Sawa, Joshua Jackson or any of the other actors, I still advise you to watch it!
This movie had Josua Jackson and Devon Sawa in it need I say more? It was really cool Josh did play a bad guy but this movie was the best!! It was a really good movie and I am surprized more people did not see it it is on tv now. Hope it is on tv again soon because I have not seen it for a while.
