"The legend of Tarzan" a review of the classic hits theaters again

No, very assorted of new ideas is not that they are in Hollywood lately. When they are not new sequels of different sagas they are new versions as in this case, although yes, with stories of those that you always want to see.

Next Friday, 22, "The Legend of Tarzan" opens. A new version of the 1912 classic, Tarzan has already completed 100 years to spare and nothing shows.

The legend of Lord Greystoke arrives in Spanish cinemas this Friday, July 22, under the direction of David Yates, a director of experience in children's and youth films if we consider that He directed the last four films of the saga "Harry Potter" and that has also begun to direct the new installment of J.K. Rowling, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which we will talk about at the time.

"The legend of Tarzan" It brings us to an adult life in which the protagonist has left the jungle to return to his hometown, to his castle, to his conventional life, in fact the story starts when John Clayon III, aka Tarzan, has been a few years in his English mansion and happily married to his beloved wife Jane.

Based again on the initial story that Edgar Rice Burroughs published in 1912, screenwriters Adam Cozard and Craig Brewer, They are responsible for the script of this story that is well known to adults and children but that does not stop being attractive to go one afternoon to enjoy the movies together.

After ruling out Tom Hardy, Charlie Hunnam, Henry Cavill and even dismissing the idea that it was Michael Phelps (yes, the Olympic swimmer, perhaps emulating Johnny Weismuler, the best known human Tarzan in film history) Who will play Tarzan, has been Alexander Skarsgard in charge of putting skin in this updated version of the classic that has been shot in the Warner Bros studios and in natural scenarios in the United Kingdom.

Margot Robbie It gives life to Jane the beloved wife of Tarzan for whom the possibility that she was played by Emma Stone, who rejected the role and Jessica Castain who had to leave after accepting him for the numerous delays of the project, was also considered.

The bad guys of the movie, which as we all know there are, have the face and good work of Samuel L. Jackson Y Cristoph Waltz and they are the ones who trick the protagonist into doing something that is not exactly what he thinks he is.

The bad guys who also have a certain historical character since it seems they are more than inspired by well-known Belgian slavers during the occupation that this country maintained in Congo. Perhaps this is one of the nuances that can make the film more interesting to some of the children who still do not know Tarzan beyond the cartoons because it does not seem to be a film for the little ones precisely if we take into account its classification by ages, although in this as in almost everything, the last word is usually the parents who are the ones who best know the maturity of their own children.

Adventures, action and a review of a leftover story known above all for parents who accompany children to the movies or perhaps in this case it is the other way around and they are the ones who accompany us ... do not you think?
