It's the next chapter of Tarzan's adventures. The writers have given the classic hero a modern touch by updating the man who was once known as Tarzan. After leaving the Congo for many years, he is now living the "normal" life as John Clayton/Lord Greystoke in London. But alas, he is asked to go back to the place he once called home.
Alexander Skarsgard brings a good Tarzan with his bulked-up muscles & all, while Margot Robbie as Jane is not your typical damsel-in-distress. She's feisty and brave. Samuel L. Jackson is the sidekick who delivers the comic relief. And Christoph Waltz is the superbad villain.
Director David Yates (who helmed the last 4 Harry Potter films) captures the action scenes in long unbroken shots, and presents the beauty and danger of the African jungle in breath-taking ways. You can feel the animals raw energy (beast mode) even though most of them are CGIs.
This Tarzan is more intelligent and sophisticated than what we know of the legendary hero. I certainly had a great time watching it !
