Hilarious spoof of the legend. In the same vein of Blazing Saddles, but (and this is gonna sound a little crazy) a little funnier. Like Blazing Saddles, there's a subtext concerning racism in this one, but not as prominent. In fact, maybe that's what made Blazing Saddles not-so-great: it was a little too on target about racism in the Old West. 3 and a half out of 4.

For some reason, Mel Brooks thinks that he has to keep up with the times. "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" drives that fact into the ground. It all started with "Spaceballs", when Mel left his regular troupe of comedians for his crew of budding new actors, Rick Moranis, John Candy, etc. and then just for good measure moved his humor down to an all time low; a collection of potty jokes. Maybe he thought that was what the public wanted to see. And now, with Robin Hood, he's done it again. He's brought in Cary Elwes, who's popular from "the Princess Bride" and Richard Lewis, who's not popular. And once again he lowers his humor to funny names repeated again and again. Maybe he thinks he has to compete with "Hot Shots" and "the Naked Gun" to see who can come up with the most brainless humor. If he makes the jokes simple enough more people will get them, but then again, less people will laugh. But despite all these drawbacks you see true Brooks humor shine through in spots, but these places were few and far between. I'm not asking Mel to top his old movies, just make a wittier comedy and I'll be happy. Although this was a pretty funny movie, it's not Mel Brooks. I give it: * star out of ****
