The Legend of Tarzan (2016) 🌿

The Legend of Tarzan (2016), directed by David Yates, is a visually stunning, action-packed reimagining of the classic Tarzan tale. Starring Alexander Skarsgård as the titular hero and Margot Robbie as Jane Porter, this film attempts to breathe new life into the iconic character by blending adventure, romance, and political intrigue in the heart of 19th-century Africa.
The film opens with Tarzan, now known as John Clayton III, living a refined life in England with Jane. However, his peaceful existence is shattered when he’s summoned back to the Congo to investigate a dangerous Belgian kingpin, Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz), who is exploiting the local population and wildlife. Tarzan must confront his past, protect his family, and free his homeland.
While The Legend of Tarzan is visually breathtaking, with sweeping landscapes and incredible action sequences, its narrative feels a bit muddled at times. The flashbacks that reveal Tarzan’s origins and his relationship with Jane are well-executed but don’t always gel smoothly with the present-day action. The plot also delves into colonialism and the exploitation of Africa, which adds some weight to the story, but the political elements sometimes overshadow the more personal aspects of Tarzan’s journey.

Skarsgård brings a strong physical presence to the role of Tarzan, though his character lacks the emotional depth that would have made him more compelling. Robbie’s Jane is independent and resourceful, though the script doesn’t do enough to develop her beyond the role of the love interest. Waltz plays the villainous Rom with his usual flair, though the character feels somewhat one-dimensional.
Ultimately, The Legend of Tarzan is an entertaining but uneven film. It excels in action and spectacle, but the story doesn’t fully live up to the potential of its legendary hero.
