ROBIN HOOD
June 29, 2019  | By David Bianculli

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
This is not a recommendation. This 2018 movie isn’t a good version of the familiar legend – so it joins a short but significantly disappointing recent line of subpar Robin Hood remakes. This one stars Kingsman star Taron Egerton, who rebounded this year by playing Elton John in Rocketman. So the fun here, such as it is, is imagining Elton in a much more rough and rural British setting, stealing from the rich instead of amassing his own wealth and gold records.
