The Legend of Tarzan (2016)
Rated PG-13
Starring Alexander Skarsgard, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Margot Robbie
Directed by David Yates
The Story:
John Clayton (Skarsgard) is implored to return to Africa where he grew up as Tarzan because there is great unrest as a man named Rom (Waltz) is up to nefarious treachery. Reluctantly, he returns alongside his wife (Robbie) and the expedition leader (Jackson).
I'm not really sure what happened next, because everyone that was sitting there trying to watch this film was bored to tears.
I turned it off when Tarzan was reunited with the apes who raised him.
:: yawn ::
Much like the flop John Carter, apparently Edgar Rice Burroughs just doesn't translate well to the big screen.
It looked really beautiful, has a wonderful cast that did their best...
But man, totally didn't connect with us at all.
Maybe if they had jazzed things up with some Phil Collins in the background?
:)
Final Grade: D+
