The Legend of Tarzan
Having adapted to the modern world after being raised by Gorilla’s in the jungle, Tarzan (Alexander SkarsgÃ¥rd), is courted to return to Africa and give approval of the division of property and state lines on the continent. But, Dutchman Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz) has plans of his own in order to flex his power and illustrate his supremacy. Escorted by George Washington Williams (Samuel L Jackson) and accompanied by his wife Jane (Margot Robbie), Tarzan will have to call upon his four and two legged friends in the wild to prove he’s still indeed King of the Jungle regardless of borders and time, but will he arrive in time to save the continent? 
Directed by David Yates this summer time popcorn chomper sets out with the best intentions but instead overreaches its bounds and comes up empty handed delivering stale and overdone CGI action scenes, telegraphed twists and turns, and some of the most incongruous accents in a period piece. As for the ensemble, all parties appear to be playing within their respective wheelhouses and not taking risks, it’s all about earning an easy paycheck this go round; end result, a lot of whiz and bang but an experience that’s quickly forgotten just the same. A matinee at most, The Legend of Tarzan is rated PG-13.
