Filming largely on sound stages, Yates, veteran of later "Harry Potter" films, has firm control of the film's lushly romantic imagery. There, not even hidden by a loin cloth, is a little trademark symbol next to "Tarzan": King of the Franchise. "The Legend of Tarzan" suggests not, and the film's main source of suspense is watching it twist and contort a century-old property into something meaningful. Agility is the prime trait of Tarzan, but "Legend" has little of it. Tarzan or John Clayton III (Alexander Skarsgard) is living in London with his wife, Jane (Margot Robbie).
