The Adventures of Maid Marian

Well, truth be told, then I wasn't exactly expecting a whole lot from writer and director Bill Thomas's 2022 adventure movie "The Adventures of Maid Marian". I mean, the concept of the storyline just oozed pointlessness and felt rather unnecessary.

But still, I will say that the movie's cover/poster was actually interesting enough to get my attention, and with "The Adventures of Maid Marian" being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give it a chance.

And as luck would have it, then "The Adventures of Maid Marian" was as you would assume it to be. Yeah, this movie was not really an outstanding movie experience, and it certainly wasn't one that was particularly necessary in order to expand upon the lore of the Robin Hood legend.

The storyline was mediocre at best, but I never really did submerge myself fully into it, as the movie just never caught on with my particular interest. So it writer and director Bill Thomas didn't exactly churn out a movie that was overly entertaining for me.

The acting performances in "The Adventures of Maid Marian" were adequate. Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single performer on the cast list here. That is usually something I enjoy when I watch a movie, but since the actresses and actors in "The Adventures of Maid Marian" virtually had nothing interesting to work with, this just didn't have all that much of an appeal.

Visually then "The Adventures of Maid Marian" was actually okay. The costumes and props were adequate and definitely felt like something adequate for that particular era. It was perhaps a bit too clean and dandy, maybe some dirt, grime and weathering would have made it all the more realistic and believable.

I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "The Adventures of Maid Marian", perhaps a merry bunch of live action role-playing people will get a kick out of this movie.

My rating of "The Adventures of Maid Marian", since I wasn't particularly impressed or entertained, lands on a four out of ten stars.

Wanted to like this but everything just kept getting poorer and poorer. Waiting patiently for the next scene and hoping it might be a little better. It never happened. I guess the budget was very low and if anyone had read any history then they'd only remembered the chapter titles. Everyone is so clean and polished, just doesn't fit. The lead tried her hardest but just couldn't carry the others as well as the script. I guess if you're really not fussy then this will fill an afternoon for you. Otherwise turn off the screen and go and make a bow and arrow, I'm sure it will be better than anything you saw in this movie.

Oh, have we run out of ideas? Well then, let's take an old famous story so we can skip paying any writers and lets rehash it AGAIN. Are we going to do anything original with it? Why no, of course not - why bother?

This is quite simply TERRIBLE. Whoever was involved in this, hang your heads in shame.

AVOID this boring pile of tripe. My one-star rating is for the camera person who had to film this garbage, it deserves a minus tating.

The only good thing about this movie is its length. I've seen better acting at a kid's nativity play, and the script might well have been written by a kindergarten attendee. At the time of writing this there were 9 reviews on IMDb, 8 of which gave 10/10 and were all first time reviewers, quelle surprise! Avoid like the plague.

It's a shame about all the hassle.

The costumes aren't bad at all, and the forest setting fits.

But then you hear the dialogues, see the bad staging and the weak actors.
