Review of The Legend of Tarzan (2016) by Edil I — 22 Mar 2017
The Legend of Tarzan is mirthless, joyless, but also bombastic and has sleek production values. There is zero character development, its all plot and story, and that is not very complex either. An evil king wants to get diamonds to pay his army so he can take over Africa, so he gets his right hand man to get Tarzan back to Africa, and deliver him to a vengeful warlord.
The cast is sweet, but very flat. No one really shines in any scenes, except for maybe Samuel L. Jackson in a sidekick role. The train scene may be the only part of the movie that seemed "fun", as the rest of the movie was a dour affair.
They have the action, they just needed the adventure part done right.
