It's been ages since I saw Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, probably 15-20 years and, though it's really pantomime entertainment, I enjoyed it for what it was – Alan Rickman is perfectly suited to those roles.
As for Ridley Scott's Robin Hood, it's not a great film, but Russell Crowe's wandering accent makes perfect sense (he is in the Army and has travelled all around the world) and it has far more substance and historical truth than any other Robin Hood film. It's well worth checking out and you can probably buy the DVD or BD quite cheaply.
