But it would be the Morgan Creek, Kevin Reynolds directed feature that would snag Costner and beat them to release with a severely truncated and harried production slate. It makes for a surprisingly good companion-piece to Reynolds and Costner's other blockbuster, Waterworld, which you can also enjoy on 4K, the main difference here being that Arrow have handled this 4K release (whereas they only handled Waterworld's tremendous Limited Edition Blu-ray set), which means that we actually get both cuts of the movie - Theatrical and Extended - as well as all of the extras, on the 4K disc itself.

Dialogue is clear throughout, although if you'd have to scratch for some criticism it's in the feeling - fleeting as it may be - that it's occasionally fractionally out of synch on the 5.

Where the film was arguably always less convincing, and where that is absolutely exacerbated by the passage of time, is in the casting of Robin Hood himself. be sure to check back here later today and throughout the weekend, as I expect to start posting reviews of some out-of-this-world 4K Ultra HD catalog titles that many of you have been waiting a long time for. I remember watching a version of this a few years back (having seen it several times at the cinema) and it dragging and me not enjoying it as much.
