Director David Yates' "Hook-esque" take on "Tarzan" feels more like a sequel to David Yates' nonexistent "Tarzan" predecessor than anything else. Lacking the life, vim, and vigor of most other filmic adaptations featuring the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs character, "The Legend Of Tarzan" plods along on sluggish pacing, spotty CGI, and muted performances from all cast members except the lovely Samuel L.

Jackson. It's not to say there isn't some enjoyment to be had. I just simply wanted more rope-swinging and "uhhh--ah--uh--ah--uhhhhhhhhhh--ah--uh--ah--uhhh--ing." And, yes, that's the closest I could get to a phonetic spelling of the Tarzan yell.
