The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

Excellent but underrated film

best movie i've ever seen.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

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.

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.

The Legend of Tarzan feels like the sequel to a much more interesting film... I wish Yates would have just focused on the elements of Tarzan's story that made it so interesting in the first place instead of foolhardily trying to modernize it. A story with banal characters and wasted performances that falls into terrible paternalism, has a tangled action and it's poor and repetitive.

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.
