Though one might feel that Yates fails to give his leading man any depth but he sure knows how to make him wear his brawny side in style. Latest Tarzan Dangles from a Vine of Pointless Indifference. The action is done well and the earnestness of Alexander Skarsgard works. Unlike this year's The Jungle Book which was visually fascinating, this one lacks the visual finesse but makes up for it with the palpable story. It tries to be a sequel and has enough inventiveness to qualify as one.The story shifts between too many sub plots but never loses sight of coherence.
It isn't an origin story but the effective flashbacks do take us back to the ape man's past life. To suit the screenplay, Tarzan's fiery wife slips into a damsel in distress role. The unnecessary character of George Washington Williams, who researched vastly on Belgian Congo in late 1880s tells Tarzan about the brutal practice of slavery that is prevalent in his native place. But, he must return to where he belongs and fix everything that has gone wrong in his side of the world.
His Tarzan journeys from messy wilderness to the prim insides of a gorgeous English manor. Director David Yates, best known for the mystery and magic of the final four editions of the Harry Potter series, remoulds the titular character. It probably is a risk taking up material that is so widely loved. Review: For a story that is being told since early 1900s, a fresh rendition is pointless unless the makers have anything new to say.
