Great Film overall

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

'The Legend Of Tarzan (2016)' takes itself so darn seriously all the time. That's the biggest mistake it makes - I mean it's 'Tarzan', not 'Apocalypse Now (1979)', it's supposed to be fun and it's inherently goofy. Because all the joy is sucked out, it just becomes this lifeless Hollywood husk that doesn't do away with the silly stuff but masks it in all this over-serious schlock - including a substance-less slavery plot, the inclusion of which is an attempt to add some phoney importance to what should undoubtedly be a 'popcorn flick' - in what seems to be an effort to simply ruin your day. On top of all that, the vine-swinging action you'd expect is largely absent or neutered, save for a few full-blown seconds just before the end-credits, and the majority of the other fights are poorly shot and choppily edited while also relying far too heavily on CGI to be at all tangible. This is something the feature struggles with as a whole, using perhaps more digital characters and sets than practical ones. It's just so utterly boring and joyless. Not a good time. 5/10

I enjoyed this movie. All the main characters I thought did a great job. I wasn't sure what to expect with Margot Robbie but that she did a great job. I was also skeptical of Samuel L. Jackson because of some of his previous movies but thought he did good as well. Also Djimon Hounsoudid a great job as usual. The CGI was so much better in this versus The Jungle Book. I loved the twist in the story too. Good show for the family with the exception of one conversation with Tarzan and Samuel L Jackson's character.

This movie turns into a legend of TARZAN and in it Tarzan, having acclimated to life in London, is called back to his former home in the jungle to investigate the activities at a mining encampment. for me this film is the best film of the year 2016,Because it is characterized by imagination and the element of suspense and pleasure in watching. as it leads you to another world far from reality. And his wonderful story that affects onlookers,It is one of the finest films I have ever seen

Okay, honest review. Not a bad Sunday afternoon popcorn flick to watch with the wife and kids. The story is a bit all over the place and the comic relief is a bit too common, but not a bad movie all in all. Don't expect the epic long awaited Tarzan movie. Waltz, the best bad guy since Oldman, is once again massively restrained (Spectre) but, delivers a decent performance. To be honest my biggest issue was with the mid action editing, one minute the boats afloat, the next its half sunk, etc etc. Jackson is quality as we've come to expect, with Skarsgard and Robbie looking and sounding the part. It's hard to put your finger on it be honest. You won't feel bad for watching, just don't make it your big Friday/Saturday night movie and you'll be just fine.
