Any fan of Douglas Fairbanks will find this tremendous fun! He was practicing Parkour long before anyone put a name to it, and this film features some enormous stunts.
It also is a big budget extravaganza with elaborate costumes and ridiculously glorious sets including that silent film set cliche - a royal tent that has an interior at least ten times larger than the exterior. It suits Wallace Beery´s larger-than-the-physical-laws-of-reality version of Richard the Lion Heart very well.
I do have a caveat - the dvd version I saw has an insulting musical background that is just a single tinkling ragtime theme repeated over and over and over and over, that at no point bears any relation to the action on screen. It seems to be an aural place holder indicating to the ignorant that the film would have had musical accompaniment if seen in a film palace. Turn it off or suffer.. And summed up by saying Larger than Life. Currently Robin Hood has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
