Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
ElliesWonder This is a very nice reversion Tarzan movie, I watched almost 2 years ago.It is completely different from the Disney version. The story takes place in modern world, but it also comes with many magical fancy setting. Story line is clear, and 3D CGI is out of ordinary, yet chacter body movement is still stiff. Anyway, still better than many animation designs.By the way, this Tarzen has 6 pack abdomen muscle, super long legs and tiny waistline. Also he has a pair of innocence doge eyes, very cute character image. 🤣Couldn't recall more details, but at least, my impression of the movie is positive.
Madame Monster Nothing about this movie seemed like they wanted to try or even cared about the source material of Tarzan. It seemed like they didn't care about the book but they will rip off the Disney movie.1. The animation is pure ugly garbage. Their faces look unnatural, their movement look like they're zombies, the gorillas didn't look that impressive and the environment was bleak.2. The writing is awful and makes you want to watch a different movie. They rip off Disney movies moments like the scene with the water and don't even know what the true names of Tarzans parents were. Plus there are too many questions. Why did this movie take place in modern times? Why did the bad guys want the meteor? Why was the bad guy trying to blow up the meteor even though he said it was valuable? 3. The characters are all dull. Tarzan is the hero, Jane is the love interest, Clayton is the bad guy and everyone else are side characters. Plus the romance between Tarzan and Jane is terrible. They barely know each other. Jane is supposed to be the teacher of Tarzan to help him learn civilized values but she's just here cause Tarzan thinks she looks pretty.4. There is narration in this story....it's really bad. The narrator will bluntly say out loud what you can clearly say what we can see on the screen. Not only that, he will also say what's going to be happening before it happens. The narrating is really distracting and takes you out from the movie.This movie doesn't care about the source material, the Disney movie that it rips off and it doesn't care about itself. Just watch another movie.
amesmonde On investigating an ancient meteor in the jungle a boy's parents are killed and he is raised by a gorilla. As a young man he encounters his humankind again which puts him and the jungles inhabitants in danger.Without being uppity, oddly people are incessant, comparing this 2013 version to Disney's Tarzan (1999) which is a redundant consideration of the similarities or dissimilarities between the two films. The Tarzan character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs is over 100 years old, there has been numerous incarnations across many mediums over the years.After the prehistoric opening and the destruction of the dinosaurs this attempt by director Reinhard Klooss hits all the familiar beats of Tarzan incarnations including Jane, there's also the greedy corporation angle that's been well trodden (instead of riches it's the greed for the meteor's unique energies).The CGI colourful animation is crisp, clear and wonderfully rendered. While no more wayward than some of the other Tarzan stories out there it is still not the most engrossing Tarzan tale. The pacing is a little slow and narration is a little sluggish, that said, it looks great and has an edginess about it.If your looking for a definitive version of Tarzan, or something better than some of the classic black and white films or the much loved Filmation Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle this isn't it but it's not that bad either.
josueroyboy Why this movie was made, I cannot fathom. The writer/director/producer took a pre-existing tale (Tarzan), infused it with direct and indirect references to other movies (Up/Avatar/Harry Potter, etc.), and created a boring movie that wanders in no particular direction. It's one of those movies that makes one ask, "Why didn't I go to Hollywood and become a screen writer? Obviously anyone can do it." Though I realize that's nonsense, I cannot understand how this movie made it to production.But hey, in the spirit of Mystery Science Theater 2000, it was fun to bond with my 9-year old as we lambasted its ridiculousness.
