That's overall fairly entertaining but also rather shallow and not particularly pretty to look at. Chicago born author Edgar Rice Burroughs, in reading pulp magazines circa early 1900's, felt he could easily produce better material and subsequently came up with a story of a white orphan boy, raised by apes, who grows up to become king of the jungle. 100 years later and this story still stirs the hearts of city dwellers everywhere.Politically corrected and CGI enhanced bigtime this updated retelling has the apeman up against slavers as well as nefarious urbanite types (such as the sneering Chris Waltz, all but twirling his moustache ).
