The movie is very visually stunning. The story telling, however, not so much. It seems to be at a loss of how to give the background information - there are memory recollections, lines about the past, and just plain old scene jumps. They threw all of the background information together with a weak plot; it ended up being a jumbled mess.

I appreciated that the movie was trying to build on the original story, however, I really don't feel as if there was anything original in this adaptation.

I agree. I was expecting so much more but it did seem a bit thrown together story wise and certainly didn't captivate me.

Visually very good, but the story sucked.
The flashbacks were a mess too

Animal vs human, who wins? I'll let you deside when you see the film, yes when you see the film, because you should! I'd of love to see more of his past, but other than that this film was a swing in a tree, lots of action, fast paced, great cast, specially SLJ character, funny, and also it was a great plot, and super picture! 6/10

@prahlis My rating doesn't match it, because my rating doesn't go with my review, it's too different things, what i thought of the film, and a over all rating of the film.. :)

It was a movie afternoon, complete with popcorn and YoYo (Cineplex's replacement for my favourite TCBY - the jury is still out). I thought this was the best treatment of this story to hit the big screen. The story was compelling and relevant. The period felt authentic, although I know little to nothing of this time in African history. The performances were multi-dimensional and the characters properly heroic and convincingly motivated. I gave it an 8 out of 10, and watched it at Dartmouth Crossing Cineplex.

Not a classic but still one of the better Tarzan films that have been made. I enjoyed it, a nice updating of a legend and a sequel would not be unwelcome.

Is this movie a new, fresh, story? No. Is it the same take as every other Tarzan movie? No!

You should accept this movie for what it is: an action movie around well known characters. Visually, it's beautiful. Story? lacking at times. Action? throughout. Acting? Just what it needed to be.

This isn't a movie you see at your local art house, this is a movie you see on the biggest screen you can find, and is enjoyable for the full 109 minutes.

That is how you give some life to an old story.

@guantai shortest review, yet the most on point. Agreed 100%.

This movie was so bad!, First movie that makes me wanna leave the cinema room in the first 30 mins. It was boring, the scrip is a mess and it sounds more like a movie about the american civil war then the legend of Tarzan. The whole love story of Tarzan and Jane is not there, and his childhood is told by flashbacks mixed with scenes that have nothing to do with the story and are just there to add time to the movie. A lot of people were saying that was visually stunning but that seems not to be the case as well, it is so dark it looks like BvS, there is not colour at all, and the visuals affects are just meh. I do not recommend this movie at all.

>**Bmonga:** It was an animal.
>**Tarzan:** _She_ was my mother.
>**Bmonga:** How was he to know? My son was just a boy. Not like you. Where was you honor?
>**Tarzan:** I had none.

That scene was so chilling and heartbreaking. It takes a great amount of honor to admit you had none. But was it just me or did Tarzan slightly come off as the bad guy in some scenes? [spoiler] Like when he let the crocodiles devour Leon. I mean he certainly deserved it but seeing Tarazn's face there was unsettling. [/spoiler] He is complex. Still one one of my top favorite characters in the history of ever. Disappointed there wasn't a musical number, though. Ha! But a good movie nonetheless. Enjoyed it a lot. Wouldn't mind a sequel or even a prequel.

This movie should've been a sequel. The plot is a mess. It is rushed and boring, and the flashbacks were annoying. I couldn't care less about this Jane and this Tarzan.
