The Legend of Tarzan

"Beautifully made (...) this is certainly the best live-action Tarzan film in many a decade (...) and offers a well-judged balance of vigorous action and engaging-enough drama" 

"Are you jarred by the anachronistic acting? Troubled that the animals are all digital? Pissed that you've seen it all before? At least it's watchable. And Skarsgard brings his A-game - mind, heart and body beautiful. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" 

"While it looks great with its gorgeous computer-generated foliage and realistic animals, the story focuses too much on its stiff hero and a one-note villain rather than the big-picture ideas it raises in passing (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" 

"'The Legend of Tarzan' has a whole lot of fun (...) but what makes it more enjoyable than other recycled stories of this type is that the filmmakers have given Tarzan a thoughtful, imperfect makeover" 

"'The Legend of Tarzan' is sequel, origin story and racially sensitive revisionist history lesson all in one (...) between this and last year’s “Pan,” evidence suggests Warner Brothers ought to leave the live-action reboots to Disney" 

"Rice Burroughs’ tale Is dragged out of mothballs for ‘The Legend of Tarzan’ (...) a lavish, expensive, woefully digitalized version of the legend (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"By turning Tarzan into just another superhero, David Yates' blockbuster origin story wastes one of literature's great wild men"
