Anemically by-the-numbers, blandly plotted to the point excitement becomes nothing less than an endangered species, watching this movie is a shockingly dull way to spend a couple of hours, and I have trouble believing even if I’d seen it as a child I still would have cared whether or not this Lord of the Apes would save his lady-love while also making sure his beloved Africa was not destroyed by unscrupulous European invaders.īritish Lord John Clayton ( Alexander Skarsgård), known the world over as Tarzan, is invited by Belgian King Leopold II to revisit his former home in the African Congo, ostensibly to see all of the good his regime is claiming to be doing there.

The good news in regards to director David Yates’ ( Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) African adventure The Legend of Tarzan is that it doesn’t spend a heck of a lot of time going through the famous character’s backstory.
