The idea was to take some of the true history of the Congo, and its exploitation by the Belgians in the 19th century, and throw it together with the story of Tarzan - you know, a boy raised by apes in the jungle. In "The Legend of Tarzan," Rom is wiping out elephants for the ivory and pressing the native people into slavery. Killing people doesn't bother him, but a fork in the wrong place really gets under his skin. [...] the close-ups of lions, apes and elephants have the appeal of a trip to the zoo, without the accompanying sadness of seeing animals imprisoned. [...] what we have here is a Tarzan movie made by people who don't understand the appeal of Tarzan.
