Les nouvelles aventures de Robin des bois

I really liked that show( and I think it just ended too early). Well, I've only seen seasons three and four, but I became pretty mad about the whole series and especially about Barbara Griffin.I think she acted Marion exactly the way lots of people wanted to see her : Strong and funny but also with dreams of a normal life with family. She acted just great in every episode I saw. Admittedly the storys were a little too fantastic sometimes, but it was great fun to imagine what could come next. The only thing I sometimes hated was the relationship between Robin and Marion, because it was different every episode. One episode they kiss and in the next one , they're just good friends - I was pretty confused about that...

But all in all there's nothing else to say (at least for me) than: I just love it!

NAoRH is about the best Robin Hood story of them all. I'll keep on watching it.The first actor that played Robin Hood was a lot better than the second one. The second actress to play Marian was better than the first, this because with her the fights look real.With the first actress it looked like the enemy fell down by themselves and not by her punches or things like that.

This show is absolutely terrible, and a great deal of fun. Historical accuracy is a long ways off from the point (there's an episode where Marian befriends an alien who crash-landed in a ufo in Sherwood forest. Do I need to elaborate?), but as entertainment, it's very enjoyable. It's dated, the editing is appallingly bad, and shows from the mid-90s in general don't tend to hold up long-term content-wise. But many Robin Hood adaptations take the content entirely too seriously, and rather suck the fun out of the concept. This one doesn't have that problem. It's very much a "giggle at the terrible editing, godawful effects, grab-bag accents, and genuinely goofy costuming" kind of show, but silliness suits it, it's genuinely enjoyable in a non-serious way, and it's worth a watch. Just don't expect it to be Game of Thrones: this more has the vibe of something you might have watched on snow days when you were a kid.

I've been watching this series of the Weintraub's since it started because I love adventure actions shows and the Robin Hood Story. I've always thought Erol Flynn the better of all and I've seen most on TV and movies,and enjoyed them all but my favorite was always Will Scarlet or King Richard even the Sheriff. But Matthew Porretta's portrayal of Robin Hood is for me the best. There can never be another Robin now. His acting his looks his voice, I can go on and on but there are other actors who also give reasons to watch. The two Maid Marions, Anna Galvin and Barbara Griffin are excellent and show that she doesn't need a man to save her that she can do her fighting. Richard Ashton is finally a sexy Little John and Martin Ellis is perfect as Friar Tuck and portrays him as a gourmet not a drunken glutton as others have.

As you can see I loved this show and cannot wait until on video so I can watch and re-watch. If anyone at IMDb has any influence with Warners or the Producers please beg them to put it out on Video. I promise many will buy them. All you have to do is search the web and see all the fans. Especially as there is a new actor in the lead role not Matthew. He is missed.

"The new adventures of Robin Hood" can be described as a light-hearted, silly piece of recorded live role-playing. The actors(?) probably had a lot of fun playing out their own fantasies, but the result is lacking. The plots consists mainly of Robin Hood and his merry men (Marion, Tuck, Little John) helping people in need, resulting in fights against the antagonists of the relevant episode. As in similar series (Sinbad, Hercules etc), there is no blood. In fact the whole series is completely bloodless and soulless. Instead silliness rules. Robin Hood is flippant (for comic relief), Marion is haughty (for comic relief), Little John is stupid (for comic relief) and Friar Tuck is a fat fart (for comic relief). Topping off this silliness is a lack of credible plots and a long line of historical inaccuracies. For instance Vikings (ca 800-1000) and Mongols (Asia and Eastern Europe ca 1200-1400) appear in what should be an late 12th century England setting. A series like this should make you very, very upset that someone wasted even low-budget money. But you can also revel in all the silliness and play "Silly Bingo" and try to finds as many historical inaccuracies or ridiculous fight scene events as possible, say: Two Mongols (beep, inaccurate), slash at Robin Hood with their swords. Robin Hood blocks both swords with his bow (beep, ridiculous), which is made out of glass-fiber (beep, inaccurate). He then hits both Mongols over their metal helmets with his bow, and they go down (beep, impossible). And so on...
