The legend of tarzan book5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Jackson playing an American humanitarian sent along for the ride to investigate if the Belgians are capturing African slaves (yes they are) and to act as a jungle neophyte next to our hero. In case this setup sounds to serious, the screenwriters offer comic relief in the form of Samuel L. So Rom kidnaps Jane, convinced her husband will come running. Of course if you wish to catch something a little bait is helpful. Looking like a hit man on an African Safari, the white suited thug promises to catch and deliver Tarzan to the indigenous group in exchange for access to a lucrative stash of diamonds found on the tribal lands. He sends his right hand man Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz) to work a deal with the chief of the Mobolonga (Djimon Hounsou). The story is set in the Belgian Congo, when the unseen, off-shore ruler King Leopoldo II, is drowning in debt. And that brings me to Jane (Margot Robbie), the eye candy for the men, whose blonde ambition extends to swimming with the crocodiles and coming to shore with her dress still looking better than my shirt after a short haul flight. ![]() Producing a noticeable gasp from the females in my screening audience after removing his shirt, this vine swinger seems poised to keep romance and action seeking movies goers happy. ![]() Alexander Skarsgård plays the unbelievably buff King of the Jungle – so buff I’m wondering if a few CGI dollars weren’t spent chiseling his six-pack. Put late twentieth century history into a blender, add an abdominizer, and you might end up with something similar to the Legend of Tarzan. ![]()
