I expected something totally different that I got. O.o I rarely find a movie boring - in a cinema -, but this pretty much was. I hated so much part of the movie, e.g. the aggression of the gorillas. Before they had any chance to do something they looked like came from the film shooting of the Planet of the Apes... And Jane's addiction to white dresses - in the field! :-o I understand that they made her up as "I am a little princess and save me Tarzan", but she was terrible.
Tarzan was as terrible caveman as her princess, who was able to speed up his scar's heeling time when he heard a scream of his woman and we could see him jumping far away into the distance without any feeling of pain. Finally, the animal's collaboration at the end was a bit too much but wait, here he comes, and Tarzan who already seen the Lion King could save Jane again! It's something...
I was waiting for this movie for months, but it was a big bunch of disappointment. The only one who can pushes some 'hearts' to this movie was Christoph Waltz, but all of us have seen him to be much better evil.
Okay, my boys, sit tight and brace yourselves for another legendary movie featuring an abs-olutely hunk. We're about to dive into "The Legend of Tarzan," and trust me, this one's serving up some legendary action!
We've got the man, the myth, the legend himself - Tarzan, swinging back onto the big screen. But before we go swinging through the jungle, can we just take a moment to appreciate that Tarzan's body is really impressive? I mean, come on, dude, that sixpack is the stuff of legends!
I used to think, "Sure, Tarzan's a fit guy," but this is on a whole new level. That guy's a beast with a body so powerful that I couldn't help but be in awe of this magnificent display of pure masculinity.
Alright, let's dial it down, boys, and focus on the movie, although I could talk about those abs all day.
The movie takes us on a wild adventure through the jungle with Tarzan and Jane. There's political intrigue, a villainous plot, and, of course, epic jungle action. Tarzan's primal instincts and, yes, those abs, are on full display as he battles through the untamed wilderness.
But it's not just about the action. The film also delves into the profound connection between Tarzan and Jane, and it's peppered with heartwarming moments that'll make you go "aww."
And let's not forget the breathtaking jungle scenery. It's like a visual feast for the eyes, transporting you right into the heart of the wild.
To wrap it up, my boys, Tarzan isn't just swinging through vines and fighting off baddies in the jungle; he's doing it with a physique that's nothing short of legendary. I mean, that body is a masterpiece of pure power and strength. It's so darn impressive that I can't help but bow down, give a nod of respect, and say, "You, wild hunky beast, are the undisputed jungle king of absolute epicness!" :muscle::fire::muscle:
It's the Tarzan story you know, only a little different.
This movie was not what I was expecting at all. I was expecting the Disney version we all know so well, but this was a pleasant surprise. If you have ever watched Disney film and thought "but I want to know what happens to all the characters next" you are for sure going to love this movie. I mean, I'm even down for a sequel of this one right now.
I think Alexander Skarsgård did a great Tarzan, very strong but he also had something soft and loving going on, which made him more "human". I liked that. Margot Robbie made Jane a very strong female among all the males, which made her an even more impressive character. I really enjoyed Samuel L. Jackson as well, he was funny and wise and I liked it. I do feel like Christoph Waltz didn't really stand out with his character, I mean, he did a great job as always, but I think he has greater works.
All the animals looked so real and mighty, most of the visuals were truly beautiful. Which, for me, is a great plus. I really enjoyed this story, so I would really recommend this one to all of you :-)
Review by Just Another Movie NerdVIP 10BlockedParent2017-01-12T14:23:56Z
This was the most underwhelming Tarzan movie that I have ever seen. A typical product of some Hollywood producer trying to make a “modern” take of Tarzan not really knowing or caring for the Tarzan that Edgar Rice Burroughs created.
In particular it was the palest and most underwhelming Tarzan character yet. He never radiated the strength nor the intelligence that Edgar Rice Burroughs attributed to his character. He spent most of the movie going around with a bland look on his face.
The story itself is pretty much an out of the box standard Hollywood story about slavery and abuse of the black African population. Not truly bad but nothing to write home about either.
There is a lot of CGI in the movie and although quite a few reviewers seem to consider it bad I personally though it was pretty okay. One of the few decent bits of the movie.
I truly do not understand that they had the nerve to call this movie The Legend of Tarzan since it really is pretty far from the legend of Tarzan that Edgar Rice Burroughs created. This movie would perhaps have been okay as a one hour episode in a Tarzan TV-show but as a high budget feature movie it simply does not cut it. I was quite disappointed.
