Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Richard Von Busack (346) for MetroActive (325) on 31 Dec 2016

Green screen seems to have been used whenever possible, and Tarzan keeps plunging into a verdant half-visible mess that looks like pea soup…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Jim Schembri (1,298) for 3AW (1,025) on 26 Dec 2016

A perfectly worthy, action-packed package...director David Yates (he did the final four Harry Potter films) does a fine job staging the effects-heavy…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By James Mottram (656) for The National (UAE) (421) on 20 Dec 2016

Maybe it's churlish to be so harsh about what is, after all, a jungle fantasy. But with such a surfeit CGI, the film is more hollow than heroic…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 05 Dec 2016

A solemn slog through scenes of people speaking a great deal to forward not much information, or having indistinguishable fights that have…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Piers Marchant (131) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 14 Nov 2016

As the film gambols toward its inevitable fiery climax, it gets sloppier and sloppier with its storytelling and political restraint…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 29 Sep 2016

The Ape Lord's laconic to the point of catatonic. The real-life Williams is reduced to a comic-book sidekick…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Contactmusic.com (927) on 12 Sep 2016

Along with a first-rate cast, this movie has a surprisingly beefy script that hints at a much more high-brow adventure epic…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Israel Acosta Aroche (83) for Konexión (253) on 04 Sep 2016

Far from becoming a film worth remembering because of its tedious plot that only seeks to sell enough tickets so that there is a sequel…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Sebastian Zavala Kahn (303) for Cinencuentro (218) on 15 Aug 2016

An intense, entertaining and visually striking movie. [Full review in Spanish]…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 08 Aug 2016

While technical aspects are strong, especially as they pertain to the motion capture effects utilized to bring the African beasts running through…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 31 Jul 2016

[M]anage[s] to come up with a version of [Tarzan's] story that is even more retrograde than anything [Burroughs] invented…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Todd Jorgenson (1,852) for Cinemalogue.com (1,236) on 30 Jul 2016

mostly manipulates the Tarzan mythology - or legend, if you will - into a summer blockbuster framework, instead of the other way around…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Marija Djurovic (345) for Cairo360 (405) on 24 Jul 2016

Unnecessarily complex and generally lacking in excitement…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for HitFix (861) on 19 Jul 2016

David Yates and company have made something that is often lovely, eventually thrilling, and even occasionally kind of arousing, and this pulp…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Sinead Brennan (56) for RTÉ (Ireland) (721) on 18 Jul 2016

The Legend of Tarzan is visually darker and grittier than those that have gone before and while there are a few cheesy scenes thrown in the…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Paul Whitington (413) for Irish Independent (461) on 18 Jul 2016

For its first hour or so, 'The Legend of Tarzan' works tolerably well as a straightforward action adventure…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 17 Jul 2016

Unlike most current 'superhero' sagas, which traffic in moral ambiguity, the movie is staunchly uncynical, with an entirely admirable Tarzan…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Matthew Pejkovic (770) for Matt's Movie Reviews (913) on 15 Jul 2016

Yet for all its posturing and chest thumping, this 49th film incarnation of the Tarzan character results in a resounding...meh…

Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

By Hugo Hernández Valdivia (119) for Cinexcepción (119) on 14 Jul 2016

If the story has some flaws, the plot if full of plot holes. [Full review in Spanish]…

By Theresa Smith (147) for Independent Online (South Africa) (258) on 14 Jul 2016
