Robin and Marian
Movie Review
This, undoubtedly, is the worst movie I have ever seen. And who'da thunk it? Billed as a romance, and with a cast of Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn, and Richard Harris combined with a fun plot: what happens to Robin and Marian after the story, as we know it, ended? Well, here is the answer according to this worthless movie that had bad writing, bad acting, bad editing, bad directing, and a musical score that didn't match what was happening on screen.
Robin and Little John remain loyal to Richard the Lionheart and endure his tyrranical rule and and immature antics while carrying out his orders for twenty years. Richard dies from an arrow to the chest thrown (yes thrown) by a very old man with one eye from a hundred yards away. Before he dies he orders all the women and children killed but lets the old man go. Robin and John then go back to Sherwood Forest and gather a group to go against the Sherrif again. In the mean time he finds Marian has become a nun (that swears) and is devoted to helping the poor and serving God. She falls for Robin again, they have a romance and then the two warring parties gather on the battlefield. Robin proposes a swordfight between him and the Sherrif and the winner takes all. After the worst swordfight I have ever witnessed, Robin wins. Marian takes him back to the nunnery to heal his wounds with her now renowned herbal methods. Instead of healing him she makes a poisonous drink that they both consume. As she dies she says, (this is a direct quote!) "I love you. More than all you know. I love you more than children. More than fields I've planted with my hands. I love you more than morning prayers or peace or food to eat. I love you more than sunlight, more than flesh or joy, or one more day. I love you...more than God." Then Robin calls out to Little John, who kicks the door in and weeps at Robin's bedside as Robin consoles him. Robin picks up a bow and tells Little John to bury them where the arrow lands. He shoots it from his deathbed out an open window. The End

I told Brandi I love her more than a field that I planted.
She threw an arrow at me, but it bounced off my chest and fell on the floor. I demanded to be buried at that exact spot, but she said she'll bury me in Nephi, UT where she's going to move when I die.
I can't tell that to Sunni. I plant a pretty mean field. John
