It has been years since the man once known as Tarzan (Skarsgård) left the jungles of Africa behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke, with his beloved wife, Jane (Robbie) at his side. Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge, masterminded by the Belgian, Captain Leon Rom (Waltz). But those behind the murderous plot have no idea what they are about to unleash.

Critics Consensus: The Legend of Tarzan has more on its mind than many movies starring the classic character, but that isn't enough to make up for its generic plot or sluggish pace.

Alejandro Turdo

An interesting production that takes the best of the classic elements and updates certain tropes to deliver a film that entertains without being exhausting, creatively retelling a story we already know. [Full review in Spanish]

The film’s faults center more around its inability to invigorate the franchise and surprise us with something fresh and new.

Its as though the filmmakers learned about the reality of the period in which their story takes place, and they became so disenchanted and obsessed with historical accuracy that they forgot to make an escapist adventure.

The return to the intersection of Hollywood and vine deserved a more memorable retelling.

Maybe requiring 'The Legend of Tarzan' to resurrect the Tarzan brand in 2016 is a bit much to ask, but why return to this story and these characters in the first place?
