"Slicker, darker and funnier than the original films, though wall-to-wall action makes it a bit of a one-trick pony, and prevents the characters from catching their breath and displaying more than one side."

"Purports to be a celebration of the innocence and virtue of a mentally handicapped man, but is actually a congratulatory ode to the goodness of the townspeople who embrace him… not unpleasant, just unconvincing."

"Fairbanks is the most exuberantly athletic of Robin Hoods, for sheer physicality perhaps outdoing even Errol Flynn's definitive performance. Fairbanks's third swashbuckler… in some ways the ideal Fairbanks vehicle."
