The Legend of Tarzan Reviews
An interesting production that takes the best of the classic elements and updates certain tropes to deliver a film that entertains without being exhausting, creatively retelling a story we already know. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 16, 2023
The film’s faults center more around its inability to invigorate the franchise and surprise us with something fresh and new.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 23, 2022
Its as though the filmmakers learned about the reality of the period in which their story takes place, and they became so disenchanted and obsessed with historical accuracy that they forgot to make an escapist adventure.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 11, 2022
The return to the intersection of Hollywood and vine deserved a more memorable retelling.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 18, 2021
Maybe requiring 'The Legend of Tarzan' to resurrect the Tarzan brand in 2016 is a bit much to ask, but why return to this story and these characters in the first place?
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 13, 2021
The Legend of Tarzan falls flat in its storytelling and could benefit from trimming some of the political fat of the story to play on the classical themes of the tale.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 3, 2021
Relies on snazzy filmmaking - lots of flashbacks and highflying action - and fetching leads to keep things interesting. Even then it feels as if Yates is holding back to ensure a young demographic friendly PG rating.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 3, 2021
Apparently, despite holding records for being the most filmed character in cinema, Tarzan's story isn't popular enough to dispense with dreadful, brooding flashbacks.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 5, 2020
The Legend of Tarzan isn't a bad film, just a disappointingly timid one.
| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 13, 2020
A forgettable blockbuster that's already starting to fade from memory.
| Original Score: C | Jul 13, 2020
It's too violent for young viewers, too dumb for adults, and not thrilling or engaging in any way, it's difficult to figure out who "The Legend of Tarzan" is for.
| Original Score: D | Jul 3, 2020
The climax is hilariously ridiculous, but I found the film, as a whole, enjoyable and entertaining.
| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Jul 1, 2020
The Legend of Tarzan, the new adventure of the monkey colleague, produces me a huge sloppiness, a boredom that seemed almost endless. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 26, 2020
Watch it on Netflix and laugh.

This movie had no reason to exist.

Yates tries to create tense buildups to explosive action scenes, but his gratuitous slow-motion fetish inevitably mucks it up.

This is a beautiful film with a lot to look at.

The cinematography (in The Legend of Tarzan) is spectacular and makes you want to hop on a plane and fly to Africa.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 7, 2019
David Yates may never get to make a sequel (or a prequel) to this story but it will remain in fine company alongside Andrew Stanton's JOHN CARTER as a pitch perfect vision of the writing of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Honestly, if they could have just settled for broad, barely there social commentary with the occasional gorilla fist fight, this could have been a minor success. A Phil Collins song or two couldn't have hurt either.
