Entertaining and spectacular!

Name : Richard Gehr / Alias : Village Voice
A typical Disney knuckle dragger.

Name : Peter Debruge / Alias : Variety
The motion capture feels like a stunt, while the stunts . don't.

Name : Lisa Alspector / Alias : Chicago Reader
The stylized physiques and movements of the characters in this exciting animated musical-romance-adventure are at once realist and fantastic.

Name : Peter Travers / Alias : Rolling Stone
Minnie Driver gives Jane a throaty, teasing allure that suggests nights in the jungle won't be Disney dull for the T-man.

Name : Geoff Andrew / Alias : Time Out
No classic, but very enjoyable.

Name : Kenneth Turan / Alias : Los Angeles Times
Adroit vocal casting, an entertaining script, an unexpectedly energetic soundtrack, and some splendid technical breakthroughs.

Name : Roger Ebert / Alias : Chicago Sun-Times
Something deep within the Tarzan myth speaks to us, and Disney's new animated Tarzan captures it.

Name : Todd McCarthy / Alias : Variety
A rambunctious, visually arresting, occasionally poignant musical adventure!

Name : Nancy Churnin / Alias : Dallas Morning News
Disney's Tarzan is kinder, gentler and a lot more fun than in previous movie incarnations!

Name : Jeff Millar / Alias : Houston Chronicle
Simply a smashingly well-done example of animated storytelling.

Name : Jordan Mintzer / Alias : Hollywood Reporter
All of this feels awfully simplistic, like a 10-minute cartoon sketch bloated into a full-length movie, and one that's backed by an over-explanatory voiceover that can sometimes sound awkward.

Name : Rod Dreher / Alias : New York Post
Disney's Tarzan is not only the summer's most thrilling mainstream movie so far, it's also the best animated feature the studio has put out since The Lion King.

Name : Robert Horton / Alias : Film.com
Tarzan is both lush and bustling!

Name : Susan Wloszczyna / Alias : USA Today
With Tarzan, Disney returns to the fertile ground of its reigning animated triumph, The Lion King, and unveils its most vibrant and virile hero in ages.

Name : Richard Corliss / Alias : TIME Magazine
Disney's animators triumph by turning the ape-man into a questing kid with a surfer's agility and an identity crisis!

Name : David Ansen / Alias : Newsweek
A swirling, fluid retelling of the tale that packs an impressive cargo of laughs, thrills and wonders into a watertight 88 minutes!

Name : Peter Rainer / Alias : New York Magazine/Vulture
Perhaps Disney thought the best way to get around the ooga-booga stereotype was to eliminate blacks altogether.

Name : Trevor Johnston / Alias : Time Out
Proves that technical knowhow and a reliable old yarn will only get you so far when imagination is lacking.

Name : Julie Hinds / Alias : San Jose Mercury News
Disney's animation is always dazzling to the eye, but Tarzan is especially kinetic.

Name : Bob Fenster / Alias : Arizona Republic
The movie itself is filled with more fun than any Tarzan film in decades.

Name : Liam Lacey / Alias : Globe and Mail
Travels light, moves quickly and leaves very little in its wake.

Name : Susan Stark / Alias : Detroit News
Disney's Tarzan is animation gold!

Name : Sean Means / Alias : Film.com
Tarzan will thrill and inspire children and their parents alike.

Name : Janet Maslin / Alias : New York Times
Though it relinquishes some of Disney's toehold on an adult audience for animation, Tarzan is sprightly and likable in ways that are hard to resist.

Name : Bob Longino / Alias : Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It's both a little scary and a lot funny, and kids will no doubt lap it up.

Name : Desson Thomson / Alias : Washington Post
There's ne'er a dull visual moment!

Name : Peter Stack / Alias : San Francisco Chronicle
So far, the most entertaining film of the year.

Name : Lisa Schwarzbaum / Alias : Entertainment Weekly
Disney's most elegant animated 'classic' in years!

Name : James Berardinelli / Alias : ReelViews
From a purely visual standpoint, this may be the most impressive of all of Disney's traditionally animated features!

Name : Cody Clark / Alias : Mr. Showbiz
Tarzan is the cinematic equivalent of a Cajun McChicken sandwich - it's a little bit bold, a little bit spicy, and a whole lot of McMovie.

Name : Ben Kenigsberg / Alias : New York Times
The director, Tom Harper, seems less interested in allegory than in monotonous, conventional goosing, the kind that involves flickering lights and a creaky rocking chair.

Name : Tom Huddleston / Alias : Time Out
Predictable shock tactics, drippy wartime romance and scenes in which the characters leaf tremulously through Victorian photo albums and spout exposition.

Name : Kyle Anderson / Alias : Entertainment Weekly
The Woman may be back for another fright, but Angel of Death doesn't haunt like it should.

Name : Claudia Puig / Alias : USA Today
It's mostly deadly dull, and when it does liven up a tad, the haunted house tale offers only wan shock tactics.

Name : Scott Foundas / Alias : Variety
A handsomely made but dramatically inert and not very scary sequel to 2012's surprise-hit ($127 million worldwide) Edwardian chiller.

Name : Jordan Hoffman / Alias : New York Daily News
The 1940s setting gives the film's first half some unearned gravity, but by the end the jump-scares and rote plot frightens away the good will.

Name : Gary Goldstein / Alias : Los Angeles Times
The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death is an improvement on its predecessor. That said, the new installment is, at best, a serviceable creep show, one with far more chills than thrills.

Name : Justin Lowe / Alias : Hollywood Reporter
The material feels stale from nearly the first scene featuring the threatening old manse.

Name : Jesse Hassenger / Alias : AV Club
Redundancy is about all it offers, despite an entirely new set of characters and a story set 40 years after the early 20th-century original.

Name : Simon Abrams / Alias : Village Voice
Flawed but genuinely creepy ghost story The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death is disappointing, but only because it comes close to greatness.

Name : Bruce Demara / Alias : Toronto Star
She's back, the Woman in Black, and it does give one pause to wonder if it's for no better reason than to scare up some more box office lucre.

Name : Alonso Duralde / Alias : TheWrap
Director Tom Harper and screenwriter Jon Croker offer up plenty of atmosphere, but every good idea this sequel has to offer winds up taking a backseat to the most obvious cat-in-the-closet "BOO!" moments imaginable.

Name : Sara Stewart / Alias : New York Post
The transparent title character from 2012's "The Woman in Black" is resurrected in this sequel, which abandons atmosphere for cheap scares.

Name : Bilge Ebiri / Alias : New York Magazine/Vulture
It's a dour, drab, dark movie, enlivened by some moderately effective chills in the first half but ultimately undone by its downbeat aimlessness.
