criticism
- The lexicon of the international film saw a "coat-and-sword adventure in the usual style, but technically on a modest level and not very original."
- The Protestant film observer drew the following conclusion: “Seldom weak Italian coat and epee film in color and on widescreen about the legendary English folk hero, who again fights at the side of Richard the Lionheart. Any recommendation would be an empty promise. "
