toboekohaku Some of the animation is good, but when the character animation where the movie suffers. Some of them look like newly plastic dolls that hasn't been painted yet.The biggest problem is the writing. This takes in modern time, I would have no problem with this if it didn't create too many plot holes like why they couldn't use satellites to find the meteor instead of finding it by man. Another change that creates more plot holes is that Tarzan lost his parents when he was a kid, not a infant and somehow he forget what humans look like or how to speak English. Tarzan being a infant is understandable, but Tarzan being an old enough kid creates more problems. I could go on the questionable writing, but it will take too long.For the rest of the writing, there is no originality. Some of the and writings are too similar to the Disney's version... including the Lion King.Also the characters are terrible. Jane is a typical damsel in distress, Jane's father is pretty dumb like he doesn't take action when the villain, Clayton shooting at Jane's direction.The last bad element of the movie is the acting. Most of the acting is lifeless and emotionless.One annoying element is there is too much exposition with the narrator, especially when it is really unnecessary to the point it is insulting to the audience's intelligence.
s-10157 This is terrible! The dialog is stiff and broken. The character's reactions are not synchronize with their face and situation at all. This has to be the worst movie about Tarzan ever. Jane does not have any major impact or impression to the viewer. She appear just to be saved and did not do anything noticeable. And at the end, her "Don't leave me" line is very fake. The final battle is childish and ridiculous. It is very short, and utterly stupid. Note that the earlier plant monster should have joined the final battle. The scary mercenary behaved just like idiots. Seriously? Some small snakes and all of them lost their mind? Honestly. Tarzan himself has a constantly stiff and unchanging expression. While it did change in some scenes, the changes are minimal and hard to see. This movie's a big disappointment that only managed to make me want to re-watch the other, better Tarzan movie.
alexvoss99 I do not understand the bad reviews. Now, I have never seen any other TARZAN movies, this is my first, and so perhaps I think it is so good because I have no other movie to compare it to, a movie which may be better. However, I absolutely adore this movie. I am fascinated by the intelligence of apes, as well as the traditions of tribal peoples. I also like sci-fi, and am a big doctor who fan. And so, the idea of a person being brought up by apes in the African jungle sounded perfect for me, especially once I heard about the sci-fi aspect of the meteor. In my opinion, this movie is excellent, and would rate it 10000000 stars if I could. I am not sure why the other reviews are so negative, as this must be one of the best movies I have ever seen :)
leonblackwood Review: Honestly, I thought that this movie was going to be really bad and after reading the reviews, I wasn't expecting that much, but for some unknown reason, I actually enjoyed it. Maybe that's because my expectations were low! Anyway, the animation isn't the best on the market, but some of the scenes were impressive. It doesn't have the catchy tunes or the witty jokes like most animation movies which is why it didn't go down well at the box office. As an adult, I did find the storyline interesting and it's always a plus when I don't fall asleep. The apes aren't as impressive as Andy Serkis as King Kong but they do move and feel realistic. Basically, the movie wasn't as bad as the critics are saying but I can see the kids wandering off after a while. Watchable!Round-Up: There isn't that many famous voices used in this film, which is surprising because it is a classic storyline which we have all grown up with. Maybe that's why it didn't get taken seriously. Although the movie got panned, it still made some money at the box office which is, most probably, due to hype and a big distribution. It will be good to see this storyline rebooted with some big names as the voices and a big Hollywood director because there is enough technology out there to make this concept a major blockbuster.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $26millionI recommend this movie to people who are into there animation movies about a little boy who grows up in the jungle and gets brought up by apes. 5/10
