It’s not too violent, it’s not to edgy, and it’s not too long. With political undertones of greed, slavery, and human destruction, it also has deeper value. “The Legend of Tarzan” is one of those short, sweet, and fun summer movies and is definitely worth watching.
Tarzan isn’t as animalistic as you would expect, Jane lacks authentic emotion, and at times the CGI is a bit low quality. While the film is quite enjoyable, and very pretty to look at (special thanks to Skarsgard). Jackson is also fun to watch as George Washington Williams, who accompanies Tarzan to the Congo when he follows up on his own suspicions. Waltz does a great job playing a sleazy political criminal with beady eyes and a greasy mustache. Rom has made a deal to trade Tarzan in exchange for diamonds to a tribal chief who plans to butcher and eat him. Unfortunately, he is at the center of the wicked plans of Captain Léon Rom (Christoph Waltz). His civilized life is interrupted when he is sent back to the Congo as a trade emissary. Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgard), now an adult, is living as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke with his wife Jane (Margot Robbie). In “The Legend of Tarzan,” it is the 1880’s and royal corruption brews beneath the surface. It’s a story we’re pretty much all familiar with – Tarzan, a man who was raised in the jungle by apes that took him in as a baby after his parents died.
