The Robin Hood legend with juvenile jokes. I actually did laugh a couple of times, but not nearly as much as I expected to. It seemed like they were making it up as they went.

This is a good, but not great, comedy from Mel Brooks. Some of the pop culture references hit the mark, but some corny one-liners ruin moments. Visual gags are pointed out way too long, but the ation sequences are well-developed. Big pluses must go to the actors. Elwes, Yasbeck, Chappelle, Rees, DeLuise, and many others light up the screen. And a small role given to Brooks himself is also a treat. So watch this if you want good, (sometimes) clean, and wild fun.

I know i will catch some criticism for this review, but o well. the movie is funny, but utilizes many cheap jokes, which i find takes from the actual comedy. another one of the few faults i've seen with mel brooks is that some his jokes can be seen a mile away. almost as if he's trying to force comedy instead of letting it flow.

robin hood is very hansom, and is probably one of the funniest in the cast, while chappelle (achoo) is funny as well. the rest are mildly amusing.

the fight scenes are done in a silly way, which is good. i also liked the way the movie acknowledges that it is a movie. they break the 4th wall frequently, revel in shots including stage handlers, and even pull out the script at one point.

main point is do i think its worth buying? yes. but don't expect this to be anywhere near as funny as young doctor frankenstein.
