The Legend of Tarzan [$5 Movie Money] [DVD] [2016]

This is a great revision of a classic movie which has lasted for many, many years hats off to the director.

I love my Samsung TV and also I love to purchase a DVD player from Best Buy

I'm a fan of Alexander Skarsgard and with Samuel L. Jackson as his sidekick....worth the watch if you like Tarzan movies.

This is one of my favorite movies so I purchased the movie to have both the dvd and digital. When I opened the code said expired in 2019 and wouldnt work, so now I'm hoping to get a working code but so far no success. There should never be an expiration date because you paid for it to work. I'm not paying extra for another code as I already bought. Would recommend movie only if you don't mind not having a working code.

They finally portrayed the Tarzan character more like Burroughs wrote him! This is the best Tarzan movie I have ever seen. The acting is superb, and the settings are beautiful. The movie was so good that it seemed like I wanted it to last longer. It was sheer entertainment! The stars of the film were really excellent in their roles, and I thought the two main characters perfectly played their roles. The rest of the cast were excellent also. The story moves along briskly, and the plot is very effective. I believe people will enjoy it, even if they know nothing about Tarzan. This is a very enjoyable movie, and I recommend it. We are going to see it again this weekend and bring our family and friends!

We were at Best Buy looking for films that we had not seen, and lucked into "The Legend of Tarzan" on sale! Missing this film at our local theatre had been frustrating -- Alexander Skarsgård has been a favorite actor ever since he played Eric Northman on "True Blood", and we are fans of Tarzan films. What is more, the film previews made this version look particularly interesting. Interesting is an understatement! The film has all the romance typical to Tarzan stories with the added reality of Congolese colonial history. For some, learning about some of the European policies in the Congo of the 1800s may not enhance the story, but we are both students of history. Finding out about the real world into which a fictional character would have been born made this a much more amazing film! We both grew up with the more naive Johnny Weissmuller and Gordon Scott films. While we loved those stories, and they ignited our interest in the stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs, this film made the character much more believable! Added to a great film is a collection of wonderful Special Features. They are so amazing that we watched them all, and would watch them again! The Blu-Ray, DVD, UltraViolet Digital HD package gives us the option to watch the film anywhere and everywhere. This film is worth owning!

Now, this version of the Tarzan story is the bomb! (This means it was awesome.) Instead of telling a story of some white guy lording it over black savages of the jungle, this was done eloquently. The story is about an orphaned white male infant left alone in the jungle, not to be killed, but to be loved and cared for by a female ape. This John/Tarzan (as he was called) does come to realize his inheritance back in civilization, but his heart remained with the wonderful people and animals of the jungle. Not to leave out his wonder wife, Jane, whom he also met in the jungle. John/Tarzan begins his fight against slave traders in the Congo, but he doesn't do it alone. He wages war against the slave traders with the help of ALL his friends, human and animal alike, because he knew he couldn't possibly have accomplished this feat alone. In sum, it's a beautiful story about his love and loyalty to his family and the people (and animals) with whom he grew up. This movie is really heart-warming. However, it's hard to believe that none of it was filmed in Africa.

The picture and sound quality of the Blu-ray was excellent. The movie is very fast paced and entertaining. Tarzan is John Clayton, an English nobleman who has learned to speak English fluently and is civilized. His wife is Jane who is an American. They are living at their estate in England when Tarzan is invited to visit the Congo by the King of Belgium. The invitation is a trap set by Leon Rom to get Tarzan to Africa so Rom can capture him and turn him over to a tribal Chief whose only son had been killed by Tarzan. In return for his capture Rom will be given the Jewels of Opar which will allow the King of Belgium to pay off the debts he owes for trying to colonialize the Congo. Tarzan and Jane are accompanied to Africa by an American Agent played by Samuel L. Jackson. The special effects are fantastic as Tarzan and his friends fight for their freedom from Rom and Belgium.
