Females probably favored the film since it featured
an attractive and shirtless male. Yet in 2016 it would office-when- of Warner
be refreshing to depict Jane as a strong and best-case- Bros.
independent female. Another grand idea would be to scenario-isnt-
not have the one African American character be good-
sidelined as a sidekick. enough/#3ded

review
Subhead: One audience member had mixed
feelings towards the film.
<Text chunk 4>Kaylee Lamphiear enjoyed
seeing a live-action Tarzan and found his
relationship with the animals who raised him
believable. However, Lamphiear found the plot
discrepancies confusing, and was uncomfortable
by the 14 year-old age difference between
Robbie and Skarsgard. She also felt that the
music was too quintessentially Disney and
that it distracted from the otherwise serious
moments in the film. Theatrical
