Taron Egerton's Robin Hood Has Been Revealed, And There's A Surprising Lack Of Green

While some will debate the merit of another Robin Hood film, I am always up for a solid telling of the tale. I tend to lean more towards a classic telling done really well than any sort of vast departure. The most recent take on the character was Ridley Scott's version, and despite talent on both sides of the camera, that film is anything but memorable. This take has drawn several comparisons to the Kevin Costner-starring Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which itself was fairly dark and gritty despite Robin Hood's American accent. If this film can capture the best elements of that film, pair them with modern action sensibilities, and try to say something interesting, it could stand out from all the interpretations that came before it.
