... View Moreas 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.
... View MoreTarzan has always been a LEGEND!!!!! And he will continue to be a legend. Following on the heels of the Jungle Book remake and throwing its release-date lot in with Spielberg's BFG, this revisit to an equally beloved childhood character is in good company when it comes to the more serious end of the family movie genre. While animated flicks and new creations can rely on slapstick setups, 'hilarious' side-kick characters, modern-song medleys and loud, loud, loud colours, movies like these tend to carefully present old favourites in a more subtle package. The Legend of Tarzan, at its best, does exactly this – presenting a Sunday matinée movie full of good acting, a simple story, and blended CGI with a calmness that comes with not having your senses assaulted by lurid colour and noise. The Legend of Tarzan is a solid ode to a character that continues to draw the imagination of children and filmmakers alike. Overall a perfectly fine family movie that trundles along at an even pace, and offers an oasis of calm in the barrage of over-hyped kids' movies making the summer circuit. The CGI used in the film is unbelievable I mean at times I totally forgot that it was CGI (Computer Generated Imagery)it was well and truly used to its full potential in this film. Furthermore, the aesthetics of it were amazing, there were not any blinding scenes or dull scenes that made it difficult for the audience to watch. In addition, they really stepped up their game with this as it was a valiant film through and through. I have already seen the film three times and I would confidently recommend this to anyone.

... View MoreDisappointed. The story was random, scattered. I waited, glassy-eyed, for something to develop in the plot to catch my interest, but instead, it moves on to another scene that goes nowhere. It's a shame really. I can tell that Skarsgaard and Waltz are excellent actors who could have showcased their talents with better material. I tried not to be bored, but failed at every attempt. It wasn't for lack of trying. I tried to enjoy the film, but the totality of the story was flat - no peaks, no valleys - a flat-line, though Skarsgaard and Waltz were excellent cast- mates. I can't fault them; however, Margot Robbie did not fit. First of all, she needs elocution lessons. I couldn't understand a word she said, though I could understand the ESL Swedish and German actors quite well. She must be an exponent of the Brando school. There was plenty of overt social justice politics in it to destroy the movie as well. I give it a four because it's hard for me to give a movie less than that and seem fair. If sleeping pills don't work for you, try this.
... View MoreWow! Where to begin! Even worse than Star Trek V.This was just a platform to get Alex Saarrrrssssgaaaarrrrrrddddduuuh to show his abs. Margot Robbie, sure she is smack-worthy. Id be boning her too.The villain, Christoph Waltz, is overly villainous. Also, why are all African natives hiding in caves and dressed in war paint, and why do they all get really really close and talk really really slow and intellectual to someone? Are they really known to do this? Anyway, at the end there is a chase scene of about a gazillion million Rhinos crashing through the madman's village and destroying anything in sight, and it's like, who programming this crap? It is so fake that I was laughing. I didn't realize that Tarzan was capable of calling a crash of Rhinos on command. Cuz it's not like they're not busy hunting or something...... Lustic garbage. they could have given us a few more Margot Robbie sex scenes and show a little boobie and I'd be good....
