Despite some anachronisms and fantastic storytelling, THE LEGEND OF TARZAN is a well-produced, exciting, crowd-pleasing adventure story, with some positive elements, including positive references to God and prayer by Tarzan’s human father, but the ruthless villain is depicted as a devious Catholic out to enrich himself and his king. THE LEGEND OF TARZAN envisions the iconic hero of the original novels returning to the Belgium Congo to investigate if Belgium’s King Leopold II is planning to exploit and enslave the native population there.
