It's Alexander SkarsgÄrd as Tarzan, king of the Jungle.
And the movie misses none of the standard Tarzan plot points. It's more Edgar Rice Burroughs than the previous versions.
We meet Tarzan and Jane in London being invited to Africa by the King of Belgium. John Clayton, Earl of Greystoke and British Peer refuses.
Turns out, that the King of Belgium is going to put mercenaries in the Belgium Congo and rape the diamonds, ivory, slaves and whatever else he can squeeze out of it.
And so Tarzan returns. Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, and Djimon Hounsou show up. Also a host of flashbacks to Tarzan's history.
It's entertaining. It has enough action. It has enough vine swinging and apes and water buffaloes and crocodiles.
Alexander Skarsgard spent 5 to 6 months getting those abs and broad shoulders.
