This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

'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 really don't understand the bad reviews of this movie. I've been a fan of Tarzan since childhood - I grew up on the Johnny Weismuller movies and I read the books. I'm a definite fan and harsh critic of bad Tarzan movies. That being said, there are a few things you expect of a Tarzan movie: swinging through the trees, hanging/fighting great apes, swimming, romancing/rescuing Jane. This movie hit those points and did a great job. To add to that, it was the closest to Burroughs accurate of any of them. There may have been some cheesy dialogue and a one dimensional bad guy, but there was also a bad guy who could see reason and IT'S A FREAKING TARZAN MOVIE!! IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO ANSWER ANY BURNING QUESTIONS BECAUSE IT'S A FREAKING TARZAN MOVIE!! I hope they do a sequel.

as a Tarzan fan from the Weismuller days and Gordon Scott's three movies (yes there were more but only three that are any good) I found this version the most realistic, faithful rendition of the Ape Man yet. it is a fun, exciting movie that makes you believe that if there really was a Tarzan this is how he would be. I would very much like to see a sequel. this is a movie well worth viewing.

The movie was an 2 hours long and with a awful plot and crappy CGI. At no point in this movie did you feel attached to the actors and would not have cared if they died or not. The plot was shallow and predictable. Several scenes had no relevance to the plot and should be excluded such as the butterfly scene. Some scenes should have been longer so you would learn the characters but that didn't happen and you end up following a plot with no character development and mediocre entertainment and a lot of irritation by the plot and badly performed scenes. Tarzan or is it Captain America i'm still not sure because Tarzan defiantly has some over-natural powers since he can stand after being beaten by a 300kg giant ape monster!! Samual L. Jackson is the worst actor throughout the movie. He doesn't fit in and does no effort in adapting. He acts as if this was a Tarantino movie. Not to mention how a black man from the U.S could become a diplomat!?The apes are not realistically made at all and you do at no time feel they're scary but only extremely aggressive. I think the way Jane acted in this movie showed how pathetic the movie is and if i haven't told you yet Jane is American!! not even English as she should have been! The way she acts when she finds Tarzan is highly unrealistic unless she is very promiscuous because normally you would flee and by NO WAY LET A STRANGER TOUCH YOU!!I felt the many unrealistic scenes and the absolute lack of realism. I will never see this movie again and i can't recommend it.
