Parents need to know that The Legend of Tarzan follows a grown-up Tarzan(Alexander Skarsgard) back to the jungle after a decade of living in society with his wife, Jane(Margot Robbie). The reluctant hero is talked into helping George Washington Williams(Samuel L. Jackson) expose the mistreatment of the Congolese people. Expect plenty of brutal action violence:
The movie starts out with an intense battle that leaves many dead, and there are scenes of shooting, people being slaughtered, very loud gorillas attacking people, and children and animals in peril. Tarzan loses his parents when he’s a young boy(which could bother kids); he later fights both people and gorillas, and characters die. Older tweens and teens may appreciate this take on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan novels, while younger viewers may find it too scary. There’s also some swearing, drinking, passionate kissing, and a non-graphic sex scene.
