The Legend of Tarzan has a whole lot of fun, big-screen things going for it — adventure, romance, natural landscapes, digital animals and oceans of rippling handsome man-muscle. Its sweep and easy pleasures come from its old-fashioned escapades — it’s one long dash through the jungle by foot, train, boat and swinging vine — but what makes it more enjoyable than other recycled stories of this type is that the filmmakers have given Tarzan a thoughtful, imperfect makeover.
As it turns out, The Legend of Tarzan isn’t half-bad, and the film deftly put most of my fears to rest by creating animals and jungles that serve and enhance the story rather than detracting from it.

My children loved the movie, my wife and I loved the movie. For those complaining there wasn't a plot, well some people are impatient due to the instant gratification age we live in thanks to cellphones.
Great movie, great acting and great CGI. Even my 58 year old father in law liked this movie. He hates CGI!

never thought I would've liked it, but surprisingly enough, I DID! I enjoyed every single minute of it, and I've been on the edge of my seat for half of the time (lol). Margot Robbie is beautiful and INCREDIBLE in doing what she does (whatever it is) and it was extremely pleasing to watch her for two hours. I loved everything!

It’s nice that The Legend Of Tarzan isn’t a nakedly mercenary franchise play that presumes dozens of sequels to come. (It’s also not a low-rent Casper Van Dien vehicle.) But it sure could use some money-grubbing set pieces to tie the genial silliness together.
The result is a “Legend” that feels inoffensively modern, or at least less offensive than it could have been...But you can’t make a bold statement or exciting action picture when every frame is filled with fear — of offending someone, of upsetting animal rights activists, of giving the audience a Tarzan they won’t recognize, of failure.
Not so much a ripping yarn, more of a dripping yarn, Yates’ reinterpretation of the Lord Of The Jungle is a big disappointment.
I can respect the intent to craft The Legend of Tarzan as a new chapter for the hero, one which is aware of all the shortcomings of many Tarzan stories that have gone before. And yet the film minimizes its own best ideas and falls back on adventure film tropes, old and new, in a way that undermines its attempt to decontextualize Burroughs’ aging swinger.
The Legend of Tarzan, for all its anticolonialist posturing and eminently attractive co-stars, has a dead soul.
Yeah CGI is a bit ropey at times, but fun enough action adventure movie. One of those feel good movies for sure.

This movie has wonderful acting and moments of greatness, however it sometimes trudges along in a mostly sluggish pace.

Have been watching the movie for 40 min already and I am giving up. (leaving 3 stars because maybe the rest may be good, no other reason)
It is extremely boring, there is literally no story, just a combination of bunch of different experiences. Some shorts.
There is nothing concrete so far40 min in beside redoing some clasic tarzan scenes.
I like the actors, both main ones, but their acting was not really good. In fact I stopped where they "encounter" and i just had to close the movie because of how bad they were acting.
Quiet pathetic for good actors.
This is probably my first movie review ever.

Jaxon said this movie was dodgy - "Nothing happened, I fell asleep." Come on Hollywood. Do better. Poor form. The animated version was better and had better action in it.
