The Legend of Tarzan - Liked It

Upon beginning this movie, I was under the impression that it would be like all the other "live action Disney" movies. As it got started though, I was pleasantly surprised. The Legend of Tarzan, yes, tells the story of Tarzan, but it's a story that we (or at least I) am not familiar with. It's a story that happens after Tarzan (a.k.a. John Clayton) has left the jungle and starts his human life with Jane. 

John goes back to the jungle, along with Jane and George, to investigate things that have been going on. Quickly, things go awry when tradesman, Leon, tries to abduct John along with millions of Africans (for what I'm assuming to be the slave trades during that time period). When Leon isn't able to get his hands on Tarzan, he takes Jane because he knows that Tarzan will come for her. Leon's whole purpose is to trade Tarzan to an indeginous tribe in order for them to cooperate.

Along the way to save Jane, Tarzan and George come across many different troubles, especially fights. First he fights the gorillas, then he fights the tribe, and then he finally fights Leon. There was so many action packed scenes, so many beautiful pictures of the jungle, and many different aspects in the story that seemed to fit together perfectly. 

Though I was expecting this to be a typical live action film, with the same-ish storyline as the cartoon, I'm glad that it wasn't. This movie was
was good in my opinion. I liked how there were still some scenes in there from his childhood, how he became to be a jungle man, etc. They were flashbacks, but they were still there which was nice. I really liked Jane's character (played by Margot Robbie) and her love for the animals and the people of Africa. I thought George's character (played by Samuel L Jackson) was good and brought many of the humorous scenes that this film saw. And of course there was Tarzan/John (played by Alexander Skarsgård) that really sold the show. 

Overall, I liked this movie and would definitely recommend it to everyone - especially if you like the legend of Tarzan. Has anyone read the book? I may have to add that to my list.

I have an entirely different opinion with regards to the movie than what others perceive it to be. It was far from its original tale, but I really liked it. The mature tone of the film sets its own course and feeling. The actors also did a good job with interacting with CGI characters like the gorillas. I hope that they produce a sequel, because I really want to know what would happen to the protagonists.

I have always liked Tarzan since I was a kid. I remember that I even collected Tarzan toys. Hence, I am really glad to stumble upon your article. I felt like my childhood was flashed again right in front of me. The photos that you included on your blog made me excited as well. This is such a nice post. I hope that you can also share more movie reviews.
