Sheena | Year: 1984 Classification: Action/Adventure Directed: - John Guillermin Sheena-- A Female Tarzan! Ok, I can say I liked this movie. Tanya Roberts does a a good job in the title role as "Sheena." I can also say, this is not Tanya's best work. If I had to categorize this flim I'd call it a Romance/Action-Drama. Something this movie has going for it is the eye catching scenery. It's beautiful! The interaction with the animals is amazing! Though I enjoyed this movie, I feel I should should state, this movie is not for everyone. As I was watching this film the one thing that kept running through my mind was... "Sheena-- A female Tarzan." That is the BEST way I can describe this film. If you like Tanya Roberts, or enjoy Tarzan movies you will probably like this movie. Tanya Roberts and Ted Wass played it to perfection! This is a beautiful film, a love story that breaks hearts. How many times in a movie do two people fall desperately in love but....well I won't write anything else except that it was the most touching and beautiful ending since "Casablanca". You'll see why. The music and score is very important to me in films and this one is wonderful. The last shot in the film (about 5 minutes long and all one take) is one of the most elegant and graceful exits I've ever viewed. See if you can take your eyes off it. Even though the plot has been filmed to death over and over thoughout the years the director and his cast, in my opinion, really made this film stand out. I just wish Sony, which owns this film would release a dvd with some "real" extras in it. Craig Is three stars too many? I have seen this movie a couple of times in the past 20 years. The first time I saw it back in '85, I actually liked it (THEN) I just bought this movie because it reminded me of something out of my childhood, So after 20 years here are my thoughts now that time has moved on...The acting in the movie is HORRIBLE. The Plot is beyond bad, and I would think offensive to tribes in Africa. However, like some of the other reviewers The Music, and the Sceneary in Kenya is MAGNIFICIENT, (Including Tanya's body, I admit that, and I am gay!!!) Just too bad there is a silly storyline. ONLY if this movie was Tanya Roberts Riding on the back of Zebras NUDE doing a documentary, I really think that would of fared better. This is one movie where I feel it really is a mixed bag.... The movie has some goodies to offer, just do not expect a whole lot. Buy Sheena at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
