10 Upcoming Movie Blockbusters That Could Be Disasters

5. The Legend Of Tarzan

Tarzan is a story that€™s been well milked over the years, and it doesn€™t feel like anybody is yearning for a chance to revisit the tale and see it smeared in CGI. Yet that is the only innovation Warner Bros. is bringing to the legend, where Alexander Skarggård€™s abs will be swinging around ropes, punching computer-generated animals and generally not having much in the way of charisma. Christoph Waltz is playing yet another villain €“ Hollywood really has to find other roles for the actor to play €“ and Samuel L. Jackson and Margot Robbie round out the cast. While it€™s nice to see a blockbuster with no alien armies or giant robots, seeing one that slaps a glossy coat of paint on a well-worn premise isn€™t much better either. The Legend Of Tarzan looks like Peter Jackson€™s remake of King Kong in that aims to recapture the feel of past movies, which just comes across as phony with modern technology. This leaves a movie that€™s too old-fashioned for modern audiences, and too modern for people who like old style adventures; all that, and it just doesn€™t look very good.

Handsome. Charismatic. Intelligent. Noble. Witty. I'm none of these things, but I'm a half decent writer, I guess.
