Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was a major box office success, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of 1991. However, critical reception was largely mixed to negative, with many critics citing its lengthy runtime, uneven tone, and Kevin Costner's performance as drawbacks. Despite this, the film has garnered a significant cult following over the years.

• A visually grand but dramatically uneven adventure film.

• While boasting a strong supporting cast and memorable moments, the film suffers from a bloated script and a protagonist who struggles to carry the narrative.

• The action sequences and production design are often praised, but the plot can feel repetitive and drawn-out.

Google audience: Audiences generally found the film to be an entertaining if somewhat long adventure, with many appreciating the action and the performances of Morgan Freeman and Alan Rickman. Some viewers felt Kevin Costner's portrayal was a bit bland, and the plot could have been tighter.

Nominated for 1 Golden Globe Award (Worst Picture), and 3 MTV Movie Awards (including Best Fight).

Kevin Costner initially insisted on performing all of his own stunts, but producers grew concerned about his safety and hired a stunt double for many of the more dangerous sequences, which Costner then insisted on reshooting himself.
