This movie does a great job of not making it about one race "saving" the other. It's a story of two people inspiring the best in each other.
Reclusive author trying to stay hidden from the world to disappear Intelligent young man hiding his intellect from his peers to fit in.
The two meet and together navigate what it means to come out of the shadows.
Great characters, well acted with a touching ending
WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!

First. Love Clancy based movies.
This one didn't disappoint for action. However, characters were forced, dialogue vapid at times and assumed you don't care about personal growth in characters.
As with many Clancy stories, there is always a governmental cover up. However, this line was never really addressed. The protagonist simply worked through the issues. And frankly, simply returning to introduce a new unit. WEAK attempt at laying foundation for a sequel.
However, I appreciated the element of connection between characters under stress. I just wish they had spent more time building this aspect (such as in Saving Private Ryan, Fury, or similar advancement in character connection). In this case, you're just supposed to accept that this connection exists because they are in the same military group.
In short, just let the action drive your enjoyment. Don't let any other expectations drive your reason for watching this movie.

I can't attest that previous reviewers have read the original works. Too many people concentrated on the movie CGI or other Hollywood concerns. Let's talk storyline.
EVERY movie previously attempted to tell the story of young Tarzan meets Jane. This daring telling attempts to address Lord Greystoke returning to face past challenges under the umbrella of his new life.
I enjoyed the balance associated with the refined Lord retuning to his roots. Who doesn't have challenges doing that? But this character slowly migrated from Lord back to Tarzan without losing connection with either. His catalyst: you messed with my family!!! It wasn't for revenge, it wasn't for money...it was based in his motivation; animalistic impulse if you will. Holding true to his history as an "animal" bs "man" conflict.
Agreed some side stories were stretched. But the heart of the story was "Tarzan saves Jane". I believe this is in keeping with the core characterization of Tarzan throughout the many iterations over the decades or representations.
Too many reviews I've read are concerned with the deviation from previous tellings. I believe this was the point of this movie. "What if Tarzan went home".
All together. I think this is a great take and extension of the "Legend of Tarzan". After all...legends never die.
