I love Djimon Hounson character as an African Chief seeking vengeance with Tarzan's death. The chemistry between Jackson and Alexander Skarsgård works like a charm. This is one of his better supporting roles as he was funny and dramatic when needed. Jackson's role in this keeps it from being some white dude who saves Africa from other white dudes. Samuel L Jackson plays a doctor who needs Tarzan's help when Tarzan gets an invitation to come back to the Congo, the doctor needs to come with him to find out if slavery is being practice there, but it turns out the invitation was a trap laid out by the the villain, Rom, played by the brilliant Christoph Waltz in his element, to deliver Tarzan to an old enemy, also played brilliantly Djimon Hounsou. It tells the origin of Tarzan, a boy lost in the jungle and raised by apes to become a ghost like figure, but this film more focus on the life after Tarzan left the jungle and joined civilization were his legend became the stories that Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote about.
If you have any familiarity with Tarzan, especially movies that came before, this film acts as a continuation of that.

I did go into it thinking I did not want to see a movie about a white dude becoming King of an African Jungle, and I think the filmmakers themselves tried to be favorable of that opinion.
