The Legend Of Tarzan (2016)

Tarzan returns in a live action film that's kind of OK but a bit bland overall. Lets start with the casting, we've got Alexander SkarsgÄrd in the lead role who has the brooding down to a T but lacks the presence to make for an engaging lead man, Margot Robbie works alright as Jane, Christoph Waltz plays his usual villainous self which is always enjoyable and Samuel L. Jackson add the much needed energy the film needs and thoroughly lacks.
The story itself is also a bit plain and generic but contains a few interesting elements that should have been focused and explored more to make for a much more compelling film.
There's actually a scene before the climax that I thought was really good and was going to set up an interesting climax, but instead gets thrown away for thousands of CGI Bisons, ugh. Overall it's a disappointing movie that had potential to be a whole lot better. **1/2
