Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016) by Tlhg — 02 Aug 2016

This is not a bad movie! I looks awesome, the plot is interesting, the actors do a good job, and the first act works really well. I think there is only one problem and it is pace management. Some scenes, ideas and arcs take too long to unfold, whereas others (and on the third act, almost all of them) happen way too fast, skipping information and set ups that would be necessary for the movie to make sense.

And these overly accelerated parts get in the way of the viewer experience because some things appear on the scenes out of nowhere and some scenes just seem miss some transition component between them, you can help but think "what the hell happen?" or "How did they go there?", and a few minutes later you think of some very plausible explanation that just did not appear on the screen.
