People revisit The Legend of Tarzan for the same reason it broke through in 2016: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a action rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. David Yates keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The fantasy and action blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
