It has to be said :3
There's something about his performance which was most enthralling, similar to Michael Wincott's as Guy of Gisborne, but Rickman stole the show with his portrayal of the Sheriff of Nottingham took a rather brilliant film and elevated it to a point where it is a timeless watch.
Am I the only one who thinks this?
All comments are most welcomed.

Totally. With a forgettable villain, the film would have really suffered. I think Rickman's eccentric Sheriff is one of the main reasons this film endures so well. I love to watch it today as much or more than I did right after it came out. The supporting cast in general (Freeman, Rickman, Wincott, McShane, Slater, and others) did an excellent job.

I agree with you on his performance but underrated is a relative thing. The Sheriff of Nottingham is definitely well considered but I think the issue is that when it comes to AR as a villain a lot of the top lists have his Hans Gruber up there with Hannibal Lector and Darth Vader.
Hey! You're not old enough to drink! Now go and die for your country!!!

I agree 100 percent. A truly fantastic performance from Alan Rickman, perfect casting.
