Rating: 2 out of 5 stars (PG-13)
Here we go again… This time the oft-depicted English lord raised by apes in the African jungle to become a mythical hero is surrounded by better special effects than any of his predecessors. He’s also played by studly Alexander Skarsgard, best known as the bad-boy/good-guy vampire, Eric, from HBO’s True Blood. While sturdy vines may allow fast and free movement through the trees, the script from four credited writers overwhelms the action with tedious backstories, setups and dialog. With perhaps 20 of its 110-minute running time left on the floor, this could have turned out to be far more exciting, since most of the clashes and close encounters are quite nicely staged when they finally arrive.
