"The excitement comes from fast action - galloping steeds, men swinging Tarzan-like down from trees, hurling tables and chairs, rapid running sword-play, the sudden whiz of Robin’s arrows coming from nowhere to startle his enemies - more than from any fear that Robin might be worsted. Robin is more than equal to any danger, incredibly strong and swift and sure, politely arrogant, always flashing a smile. Somehow the whole thing has an air of being a costume party, a jolly and rather athletic one, with a lot of well-bred Englishmen playing at being in the greenwood. Their bright, fresh clothes, their house-party kind of conversation, the clean castles and neat forests might all have been something an affluent host arranged for the entertainment of summer guests... Except for some tedious and modernish love-making it keeps moving."
(James Shelley Hamilton, National Board of Review)
