Entertainment Reviews:
The Adventures of Robin Hood has the fine sweep and action of the best silent days, and all the sound and splendor of the modern screen. One of the season's finest films.

Maclean's Magazine
It is cinematic pageantry at its best, a highly imaginative telling of folklore in all the hues of Technicolor.

Variety
One of the few great adventure movies that you can pretend you are treating the kids to when you are really treating yourself.

Time Out
[T]he dialogue is delectable Hollywood fustian at is best; the period Technicolor glows like a jewel...

Movies like this are beyond criticism.

Chicago Reader
...A treat for the eye and ear....An action-packed romantic take on the old legend...
Los Angeles Times
[O]ut of all the embodiments of derring-do played by Flynn, his nobelman-turned-defender-of-the-poor-and-oppressed is the most purely joyous.
Premiere
Product Description:
In Michael Curtiz's swashbuckling spectacle about the infamous outlaw and his band of merry men who "robbed from the rich and gave to the poor," Robin Hood (Errol Flynn) fights nobly for justice against the evil Sir Guy of Gisbourne (Basil Rathbone) while striving to win the hand of the beautiful Maid Marian (Olivia de Havilland).
Flynn joyously embraces the role widely considered the best of his bountiful array of swashbuckling legends. Delivering his lines and performing dashing acrobatics (he did most of his own stunts) with breezy élan, he darts across the intricate sets of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD as if there are rocket boosters secreted in his tights. It was one of the earliest films to use three-color Technicolor and, at the time, the most expensive film Warner Bros. had produced. Erich Wolfgang Korngold's outstanding score won an Oscar, as did the art direction and the editing.
