I just saw "The Legend of Tarzan" this afternoon. Overall I'd say it was a pretty good film. It was reverent in the right places, with probably the best live-action depiction of Tarzan, one that is closer in tone to ERB's literary work than any other iteration. You can sense the backstory in Tarzan's brooding silences, his pensive soul, his concern for Jane, and his maturing acceptance of civilization's capacity for greed and violence.
The director treats us with lush African landscapes, sultry jungle ambiance, ambitious tracking shots, majestic animals and fantastic character animation - all in reverence to ER Burrough's source material. When combined with the sensitive portrayal of Tarzan by Alexander Skarsgård, this film hits a new cinematic benchmark for Tarzan. Go and enjoy the trip!
