Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016) by Charliebrown8 — 05 Jul 2016

Absolutely terrible movie. Cheesy beyond limits, a boring storyline which considers 2/3 of the movie just exposition and that leads really nowhere, and action scenes that seem to come straight out of a comic book in their believably.

I was also very uncomfortable with the latent "white-guy-helps-the-natives" complex underlined with African children singing songs etc. which is really inappropriate. What's worse is that it doesn't take its historic context seriously in which 10 million Congolese were slaughtered in a Genozide by the Belgians (and none of the major powers at the time prevented).

Does leave a bitter taste to the small victory that Tarzan and his gang celebrate at the end.
