The Legend of Tarzan 3/5

One of cinema’s most enduring characters returns in The Legend of Tarzan (12A), which opens in 1890 with our eponymous hero, aka John Clayton, the Earl of Greystoke (Alexander Skarsgård), journeying from London to the Congo in an ambassadorial role for the British government.

Accompanied by his wife Jane (Margot Robbie) and American emissary George Washington Williams (Samuel L Jackson), Clayton is ambushed by the dastardly Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz), a Belgian scheming to enslave the native Congolese population in order to swell the coffers of Belgium’s King Leopold.
