I have been using IMDb for years and have never bothered writing a review for anything. But, for this film, I felt a duty to warn people. Robin Hood The Ghost of Sherwood, sounds simple enough. From reading the back of the box it sounded like it was just a low budget version of the tale. Now for the problems: The acting was horrible. The film was shot in Germany with unknown German actors who had no talent whatsoever. To make matters worse the film was shot in German and they used English dubbing, (which made it even worse). When the actors delivered a line it reminded me of someone just saying the lines out loud to confirm that they had it memorized. There was no emotion, no acting at all. I've had more fun watching paint dry.
The plot was the worst part. About halfway through the film Robin Hood and all of his men are killed by the Sheriff's soldiers. Marian and Little John were the only ones to survive and it just so happens that Marian knew of a witch that could bring the dead back to life. So, they go there, kill the witch, take all of her potions, go back to camp and give the potion of the undead to everyone. Well, they got there too late and while Robin and all of his men come back to life, they now have a craving for human flesh. Yeah, you read that right, Robin Hood and his men are now zombies and the run around Sherwood Forest eating people. Marian and Little John still have bags of the witch's potion, so they find some that they can use. So now the two of them are running around Sherwood Forest while Little John throws rocks, yes rocks, at them and says some dumb word to make the rocks explode on impact (sipzoso, I think it was) or something to that effect. Oh, and of the potions caused a meteor shower. They use one of the potions to trap Robin and his men in the forest, then Marian goes to the Sheriff and tricks him into the forest so that Robin can kill him.
I would have given this movie zero stars but one star was as low as I could go. After watching the first half hour of the movie, I seriously considered turning it off, but I thought, it can't get any worse. Well, I was wrong. It got worse. A lot worse. Anyone who likes Robin Hood or an adventure movie in general, avoid this like the plague, there are a lot better movies out there about Robin Hood than this.
If you want to see Robin Hood, check out the 2010 version starring Russell Crowe or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves starring Kevin Costner made in 1991. There was also a television series made in the UK that started five or six years ago. It only went for three seasons, but it was very enjoyable and well made. Any of these are a better choice than this garbage.
