Movies like this are beyond criticism.
Don Druker, Chicago Reader

In these cynical days when swashbucklers cannot be presented without an ironic subtext, this great 1938 film exists in an eternal summer of bravery and romance.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Sumptuous and highly energetic, The Adventures of Robin Hood is grand with a capital 'G' on every level.
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News

Movie pageantry at its best, done in the grand manner of silent spectacles, brimming over with the sort of primitive energy that drew people to the movies in the first place.
