I have several favorite parts in this movie but at the top of the list is when Azeem (Morgan Freeman) gives his speech toward the end of the movie asking all the commoners to fight for their freedom. Another favorite scene is when Robin Hood finds out he has a brother, Will Scarlett. And finally, the scene where Robin and the Sheriff fight at the end. Those are my top three favorites.
But who can forget the Sherwood Forest scene where Robin first meets Little John and Will Scarlet. The First part of it is great especially when Will trips Robin and send him into the river and then says... "There was a rich man from Nottingham, he tried to cross the river, what dope, he tripped on a rope, now look at him shiver." Robin Hood, Azeem, Marian, and the Sheriff are the central figures of this movie, but you can't get caught up in the main story and forget the secondary stories. I love the secondary stories because they are so interwoven in with the main story.
Although I like him, I think the scene at the very end where King Richard "crashes" the wedding between Robin and Marian was an after thought especially when King Richard was played by Sean Connery. If you're going to have a huge actor in such a small roll to make it seem bigger, why choose Sean Connery.
Still a great movie! Timeless!
