Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Extended Version) [Blu-ray]

Not a period piece, a legend
This movie is incredible. Best soundtrack. Inexplicably American Kevin Costner. Slightly uncomfy racial stuff, but I can tell they were trying their best. Absolutely bonkers clothes that look like a bunch of old dirty dishrags sewn together into an entirely anachronistic patchwork cloak/jacket/gown. 90s movies are so delicious. I would devour this whole if it were an entree at Applebees, and I don't even like Applebees. Go Robin Hood!

Who doesn’t love this movie
A week night classic full of over the top scene stealing. Although I am not a fan of Costner, I can’t help but love this film.

Via Vision Ultimate Edition Blu-ray (Australia)
This is a product review primarily aimed for U.S. customers, not a movie review. The most important fact about this product is that although the back of the Blu-ray case states that the two discs are Region B coded, these discs are actually REGION FREE. They should play fine in any Blu-ray players (e.g., U.S.).This Ultimate Edition has the theatrical version of the movie on Disc 1 and the extended version of the movie on Disc 2. All special features are on Disc 1, except for two audio commentaries for the extended version on Disc 2. For U.S. viewers, all Blu-ray special features were previously on the 2-Disc Special Extended Edition DVD issue from 2005. From that DVD issue, several essays, galleries, and cast/crew text biographies, as well as a proper theatrical trailer, are not included on this Blu-ray issue. For clarification, the trailer found on Disc 1 of the Blu-ray was not properly authored/encoded. What results on playback FOR THE TRAILER ONLY is around 2 minutes in which the audio plays at normal speed, but the video runs around 33% too fast, resulting the entire audio being out of sync with the video, which ends at about 1:30 with the audio still running. The theatrical version of the movie itself does not have this problem on the disc.The big upgrade with this Blu-ray issue for many viewers (e.g., U.S.) is the Disc 1 theatrical version of the film. This is an anamorphic widescreen video release (enhanced for 16x9 televisions), in 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The only previously available theatrical version of the film on DVD or Blu-ray in the U.S. was a 1997 Warner Bros. snapcase DVD issue, in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio, letterboxed for 4:3 televisions. The video from that DVD (which I own) looks terrible on a 16x9 television (black bars on all four sides and very grainy). Additionally, for this Blu-ray issue, the entire film plays on Disc 1, on one side, from start to finish.To explain why I mention that last thing, the 1997 Warner Bros. DVD issue split the movie into two parts, such that the disc had to be ejected, flipped, and reinserted into the player at some point during the natural run of the movie in order to watch the remainder of the movie. This sort of thing was not prevalent with DVDs during those first few years of the format, but it was frustratingly common enough that these kinds of discs were called "flippers". Any of the other reviews here where customers reported that they were shocked to find that their discs only had part of the movie ("and so did the replacement disc!") didn't realize that they had flipper discs, and that these were official discs, not bootlegs (the inside of the official snapper case sleeve lists the movie scenes by title, under the headers SIDE A and SIDE B, and the disc itself indicates content on both sides).Overall, the main draw of the Australian REGION FREE Via Vision Ultimate Edition Blu-ray is the theatrical version upgrade from prior non-anamorphic and/or flipper video DVD releases (although the picture quality isn't spectacular). Anyone who buys this and also owns the 2005 2-Disc Special Extended Edition DVD issue may want to save that DVD issue for the proper theatrical trailer and other special features not included with this Blu-ray issue.

Our All Time Favorite
We have watched this movie at least 10 times or more after being married for 25 years. We love the renaissance period and most of all we love the love story of this movie. It’s not a mushy women’s romance.

Edizione Francesce robin de bois, doppiaggio italiano originale con luca ward!
Finalmente, dopo un po di ricerche ed aver scoperto che il film era stato ridoppiato e non essere riuscito a ritrovare il doppiaggio originale, questa edizione francese ci riesce. Il dvd ( come da foto ) già lascia intendere di essere multilingua, e appena inserito nella ps4 subito si setta in italiano. L'unica modifica che ho dovuto fare è cambiare l'impostazione della visualizzazione, con il classico "zoom" in quanto appena avviato il film non riempiva lo schermo della tv ma rimaneva centrale e piccolo, ovviamente riempiendo lo schermo si perde un po la qualità delle immagini ma stiamo parlando di un film abbastanza datato, comunque visione godibilissima e audio perfetto e sopratutto originale! Venditore dodax perfetto, con tanto di messaggio di "scuse" dell'eventuale ritardo dovuto al covid, ritardo che è stato di solamente 1 giorno rispetto al tempo previsto di consegna. Perfetto.
