The legend of Tarzan depicts a young character, Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgard) who is raised by apes his whole life in the wilderness of the jungle without any contact with humans. The way he sees, thinks and communicates resembles that of an ape. When he comes to encounter Jane Porter (Margot Robbie), he feels an unusual sense of attraction towards her that they continue this encounter on a regular basis in the jungle. The early beginnings of the film has been fast forwarded to their married life when she brings Tarzan to England. When he is there, he is sent back to Africa with the accompaniment of George Washington Williams (Samuel L. Jackson) to assist in the allocation of resources and minerals from Africa to England. Tarzan is immediately hesitant with this proposal as it is against the wishes of his family back in the jungle to destroy their land for the gain of the King. Hence, George Washington encourages Tarzan to go with him to prove what atrocities are happening in Africa.
As the movie develops and Tarzan is returned to Africa with his wife and George, when the come along to meet Rom who sent there by the King to secure more minerals. However, Rom is perceived as the villain who acts in his own interest to gain money from his work. Tarzan sets himself on a journey to reclaim the land and save the people from slavery with the help of his animal friends. The overall acting and settings were very appropriate for the atmosphere of the film and the character development worked very well. The relationships between each characters was perfectly portrayed and the panoramic views of the African jungle were so beautiful. It was enjoyable and i would definitely watch this again!
