Without a doubt, the worst movie adaptation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs' legendary character yet. The script is awful and full of cliches already seen thousand times over in countless terrible films, the casting is uninspired (Alexander Skarsgard as Tarzan? Seriously???), and the action scenes come across as watching paint dry on a fence that's barely hanging on to dear life. Director David Yates brings no vision whatsoever to this material that arrives not that long after the similar but much superior The Jungle Book. This summer has already seen a record number of bad movies that not only underperformed at the Box Office, but have been less than inspiring for the audiences. This should be on any sane person's ten worst movies of 2016, and the best way to view it on a plane, if you must, is to watch it without using the headphones, and also without looking at the screen.
