Johnny Weissmuller, as ever, stars as pith-helmeted Jungle Jim, who this time must grapple with an avaricious ivory hunter. And that's not all: Jungle Jim is confronted by a legendary "giant man," actually a clever hoax cooked up by a tribe of mercenary natives to drive district commissioner Kingston (Lester Matthews) out of office. Columbia contractees Angela Greene and Jean Willes competently share the leading-lady chores. Fans of the "Jungle Jim" series were immensely satisfied by Forbidden Land, else why would Columbia turn out seven additional entries over the next three years? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
This eight in the Jungle Jim series is as ridiculous as any of the thirteen made, but is still enjoyable as an unsophisticated boys adventure film.
