They got some of the elements ok. Actor playing Jane looked great for the role.Tarzan looked sort of ok but not great.Some of the past scenes were great and reminded memories of the original books. The Villain was good, similar to the normal villains in the books.
If you have read the original books of Edgar Rice Burroughs you'll get what i mean.
Tarzan failed miserably in the fight against Akut and he looked too miserable and weak.The real Tarzan in the books would have fought much more better and savage even if he failed because he is someone who can face or even kill the Numa(lion) with his bare hands. That fight scene inside the train, nope tarzan does not fight like that, that's too slow for Tarzan. He would be jumping around too fast and savage like a wild ape kicking people around with mere one hand.
Tarzan would not be running on the ground with those black warriors. He would be normally travelling through the jungle trees while those black warriors ran on the ground.
I was a bit disappointed by seeing a weak Tarzan, and a Tarzan who behaved quite unbecoming of Tarzan in some scenes. But in some other scenes they managed to show the real Tarzan, especially his memories with Kala, his ape mother, and Jane when he first met her.
