Can’t Hollywood find him more interesting parts? I’m also not sure that Samuel L. For one thing, Christoph Waltz is quickly descending into self parody, with his Belgian baddie being another in a long-line of villains he’s played and just as familiar as his recent, disappointing turn in SPECTRE. Given how good both of them are, it’s a shame THE LEGEND OF TARZAN only amounts to a moderately good, respectable film, as with a few tweaks it could have been really solid and a serious franchise-starter. While mostly set a decade after they resettled-in England, Yates frequently flashes back to their original encounters as teenagers, while some movie-magic used to make Skarsgard look young, while Robbie doesn’t need anything at all. Margot Robbie comes-off just as well as the liberated, modern Jane, with the idea being that she was raised in Africa herself, giving her as much of a tie to the region as her husband. Always a big guy, his physical metamorphosis is astonishing, with his peculiarly muscled Tarzan standing-out even in an era when all big male movie stars have a six-pack (he sports more of an eight-pack). Playing the part with a twinkle in his eye as he tries to affect the bearings of an aristocrat early on (to the point that he extends his pinkie while sipping tea), Skarsgard makes the most of his attempt at big screen immortality. The fact that the tall, Nordic-looking Skarsgard doesn’t seem particularly British works in the movie’s favor, with it being intentional that the impossibly imposing ape-man stand-out among his 19th century English peers like a fish-out-of-water. In the lead role, Alexander Skarsgard is ideally cast. While neither as high-brow as Hugh Hudson’s GREYSTROKE: THE LEGEND OF TARZAN or as silly as the MGM Johnny Weissmuller programmers from the thirties and forties (which, I’ll admit, I have a huge weakness for), it remains to be seen whether audiences will embrace the loincloth-wearing hero in this period adventure.

While the early buzz hasn’t been great, this TARZAN update is a completely respectable, politically correct, 21st century incarnation of the hero. Sure enough, THE LEGEND OF TARZAN is a massive, tent-pole, wannabe franchise starter for Warner Bros, big enough that they’ve pumped a reported $180 million into it, and hired HARRY POTTER's David Yates to direct.

While there hasn’t been a decent (live-action) Tarzan film in about thirty years, there was never a doubt in my mind that Edgar Rice Burroughs’s vine-swinging hero would return to the silver screen in a big way at some point. REVIEW: I’ve long been a fan of Tarzan, the Ape man.

PLOT: In the late 19th century, the now civilized Lord Greystroke, aka Tarzan ( Alexander Skarsgard) returns to the jungle with Jane ( Margot Robbie) in-tow to investigate rumors that the Belgian government is engaging in the slave trade.
