THE LEGEND OF TARZAN film review by Cate Marquis

– By Cate Marquis –

THE LEGEND OF TARZAN brings back an old Hollywood hero for popcorn-munching adventure

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

 

THE LEGEND OF TARZAN brings back an old Hollywood hero for a summertime, popcorn-munching adventure in 19th century colonial Africa. The movie, which stars Alexander Skarsgard and a sterling supporting cast that includes Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Margot Robbie and Djimon Hounsou, provides a certain amount of fun and serviceable entertainment. It is likely to please Tarzan fans more than the 1984 GREYSTOKE, as this movie has a less serious tone but a story closer to the original books than some movie Tarzans. Still, the fine cast is not quite enough to rescue the film entirely from its shortcomings, some inherent in the Tarzan story.
