Christoph Waltz and Sam Jackson remain two of the most over-exposed stars in Hollywood and, good as they are, they are running out of clever ways to play the same character over and over. Alexander SkarsgÄrd has been impressive in other films (a race driver, a superhero) and I think with different material and a different director he could have connected. After a great opening scene, there is the filmic equivalent of "dead air" for about 35 minutes and when the script does finally get in gear it stumbles and falls, subject to a wildly disjointed narrative and equally bizarre editing. That said, this one is not especially good. I have no doubt that after I am gone, producers and writers will continue to be attracted to it and continue to "make their bones" by bending it to their unique style. In my lifetime I have seen well over a dozen versions, retellings and re-imaginings of the Tarzan story. Where to Watch Tarzan Tarzan is available to watch free on Tubi TV. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.8. It is no coincidence that, almost a century ago, when young Hollywood looked to find a franchise for its new "talkie" motion pictures, they turned to the Tarzan tale, and spawned a franchise so successful that it literally outlived the shelf life of its star. Tarzan is a 2014 animated movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 35 minutes. It is at the same time the ultimate Romance and the ultimate Action tale. The core Tarzan story is not only iconic, it speaks to something deep within us.
