Customer Reviews of Sheena
A multiple waste Sadly, this movie is a waste three times over: of the breathtaking locations; of Tanya Roberts's stunning beauty; and of the character itself. Sheena, the pulp and comicbook character, was the first bona fide heroine, and spawned a whole sub-genre (the "she-Tarzans") which begot dozens of clones, well into the '70s (Marvel's Shanna),'80s (Americomics's Tara) and '90s (Budd Root's Cavegirl) - not coincidentally, jungle girls were one of Werthan's favorite targets in his witch-hunt against comics in the '50s. There were several ways the character could be portrayed in the movie: tongue-in-cheek (I mean, fellas, come on, a next-to-naked woman, unarmed but for the most primitive of weapons, taking on the beasts and the baddies all on her own!), as a knock-'em-down, sock-'em-up superwoman, or any combination between. Instead, a braindead script leaves Ms. Roberts with next to nothing to actually do - they've even come up with this notion that she can communicate with animals, and let them do her doity work for her. Sure, she swings a mean vine, but is that all that is ? Add to that a silly "love interest", a ludicrous "comic relief", and what have you got, instant flop. For this viewer, more's the pity, as I'm a long-time admirer of Ms. Roberts's pulchritude (if anyone out there knows of a fan club on her, just let me know and I'll sign up sight unseen). But - silliness for silliness, check out the videos of the Sheena TV series, starring Irish McCalla. At least, damn it, she does wrestle a rubber crocodile !
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.
Silly, But Good Mind Candy
I remember watching this when it first aired on HBO YEARS ago and being strangely facinated by it. Don't expect any A movie acting or plot - it's straigt B movie fare all the way, but fun I'll admit. What gets an A is the heart-achingly beautiful music score at the end of the film. If anyone, ANYONE knows how to obtain a copy of that please post your information here!!!
