The Legend of Tarzan

press release: This latest version of Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle lord begins after Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgård) is already a legend. The filmmakers have chosen to skip the customary origin story, a laudable impulse in the Age of Reboots. But the story they tell instead is a dull, lumbering thing that presumes familiarity with -- and fondness for -- the Tarzan mythos and doesn't bother trying to earn it. PG-13, 2016.
