Goofs

When the crocodiles approach the sinking ship and one of them bites Leon Rom, it immediately does the infamous "crocodile death roll". At the tail end of the first croc that devours Leon Rom, a trailing 2nd croc can be seen simultaneously doing the same death roll. Unless the doctor is 20 feet tall why is the 2nd croc death rolling?

LEGEND OF TARZAN--A Common Sense Review
1 July 2016 | by See all my reviews

It's simple. If what you want is a live-action version of the Disney cartoon, or a remake of those old "Me Tarzan, you Jane" camp fests, this isn't the film for you. If you don't like the character to begin with, this isn't the film for you. The vast majority of critics who thus far have given the movie unfavorable reviews fall into one or both of these two categories. It's disheartening, and it's so obvious they don't really know anything about the character and don't care enough to learn.

If, however, you have yearned for the day in cinema when Edgar Rice Burroughs' epic hero is treated with the gravitas and respect he deserves, and if you enjoy epic jungle adventure with a heart, by all means GO SEE THIS MOVIE! It is phenomenally good! Think of it like you would a dish of food. Let's say spiced curry. If you don't like spiced curry, you won't like it no matter how well it is prepared. This movie is for those who enjoy spiced curry. For those who love it, this is the most delicious dish you're ever likely to taste.
