What critics said
Critics broadly regard it as a satisfying, action-packed but knowingly overripe and story-thin entry in the Tarzan series.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The film treats its leopard cult, domestic quarrels, and jungle peril with earnest melodramatic seriousness while producing an overripe comic effect.
The leopard cult is explicitly devoted to preventing civilization from moving further into Africa and attacks travelers associated with that expansion.
Tarzan and Jane's tree-house arguments about repairs and household disorder are juxtaposed with attacks, capture, and tribal conflict.
Cheetah's intervention saves the day after Tarzan is captured and Boy is threatened by the leopard priestess's brother.
