“The Legend of Tarzan” isn’t half-bad; actually, it’s pretty good. Beautifully made and smartly set at the beginning of Belgian King Leopold II’s rapacious colonization of the Congo in the 1880s, this is certainly the best live-action Tarzan film in many a decade (which, admittedly, isn’t saying much). — Todd McCarthy

At least it’s watchable. In summer, baby, that’s high praise. — Peter Travers
