Product Description
Sherwood Forest has a courageous new hero -- Gwyn, the daughter of Robin Hood -- in this thrilling new adventure packed with swashbuckling fun for the whole family. Possessing the cunning skills of her legendary father and the beauty and intelligence of her mother Marion, Gwyn (Keira Knightley, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL) is anxious to follow in Robin Hood's footsteps. But he'd rather see her remain safely behind under the watchful eye of Friar Tuck and her best friend Froderick. As King Richard nears death, Robin Hood and his Merry Men are summoned to help bring Richard's son, Prince Philip, to his rightful place on the throne before the evil Prince John can assume power. But when Robin Hood is captured by the Sheriff of Nottingham (Malcolm McDowell, MY LIFE SO FAR) and sentenced to death, his life and the future of England lie in Gwyn's inexperienced hands.

The positive aspects of this film begins with the location of the filming. Listening to the commentary points out many interesting facts about Romania and filming in general. There is a very excellent film sequence near the beginning showing progressive growth of Gwyn as she awakes in the morning over an approximate 10 year period. For Star Trek fans there is a very funny little aside where the director refers to 2 of his characters as looking like Klingons and they really do. Keira Knightley is superb in this film. I believe that this film role will one day be seen as a classic for it embodies everything she potentially brings to the screen, but does so in a very family friendly story. I really like this actress, but don't care to follow her harder edged characterizations in some other films. I realize my conservative opinion on this and respect her right to pursue her career as she sees fit. The horses are fantastic. You learn from the commentary that they had difficulty with the wild natured Romanian horses and it is fun to see evidence of this on screen. Look for the roving dogs also.
The negative qualities of this film are mostly humorous. The fight sequences are very tame, which is good for a family film. Keira is never physically convincing as a "boy", but all films require some amount of imaginative play. Jonathan Hyde's acting, while good, is a rip off of Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham in 1991's Prince of Thieves. The ending is very sad from a romantic standpoint, even though I understand its historicity. Royal restrictions on marriage are so stupid, as well as restrictions of some church groups on marriage in the clergy. But, I digress.
Overall this is a fun, engaging movie that entertains and makes you think. The primary story revolves around the father/daughter relationship and this movie succeeds in promoting positive dialogue and action if you find yourself in one. When you understand this it makes this movie's ending a very happy beginning. Enjoy!
By the way, if you have taken time to read this brief review of "Princess of Thieves, may I say that the best Robin Hood movie (of the more recent generation) is the Kevin Costner version in "Prince of Thieves" (1997). Both movies, "Prince" and "Princess" of Thieves, are worth your time.
