One of Kevin Costner’s biggest hits, it’s Alan Rickman who nonetheless dominates Robin Hood.
We review the Blu-ray.
But Bergin, bluntly, never stood a chance.
The bonus is you get more Rickman, but you pay a price for it.
The audio gets a bigger improvement, with a fully-fleshed surround track at work.
The excellent score comes across well, and the soundstage is broad and very effective.
You do get a solid commentary that unites Costner and director Kevin Reynolds, and its decent enough.
It does avoid the depths of the pairs falling out over the years, mind.
Another commentary brings together the writers with Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater, and its good fun.
There are some interesting details in there, too, and its worth spinning.
The rest of the material isnt much cop.
An old making of special is weak, as are the one-on-one interviews.
You then get trailers and a live performance from Bryan Adams.
You know the reason why.
The film, though?
I still think it never got quite the credit it deserved.
