its actually a pretty good film, well.. not very but its neat enough..
The story of Tarzan is surely one of the most common stories we have heard but this has more things attached to it which makes it unique, really nice film..
it has some really sad moments though, i nearly cried.. hhhaha.. such a baby :S.. -
MCT:June 29, 2008I like this movie because of its weirdness. My favorite part is when the young Tarzan pees on the ape leader. He deserved it.
-
MCT:April 26, 2008Christopher Lambert does a great job in this role. I always feel pangs of sadness when the gentle times in the jungle are ended with the arrival of man.
Tarzan loses his innocence and we all hate that. -

A great film with equally great scenery. Greystoke has become awefully forgotten, despite the fact that it's miles better than director Hugh Hudson's very overpraised( and multi-oscar winning) Chariots of Fire.

MCT:October 1, 2007excellent, gives a full picture of "the legend" leading up to his adoption.... and ultimately the consequences brought on by it. highly recommended.

While a somwhat dark and somber piece, this movie was pretty striking in its depiction of the classic novel moreso then it being an adaptation of all the past Tarzan movies and TV series. Christopher Lambert is pretty good as the man ape of legend.

Liked C. Lambert in this. The junge scenes are the best at the begining and at the end. His roar is believable...not like Johnny Weismiller's from the 40's.

Would almost be called the best tarzan movie out there. Again a child left alone surviving the harsh forest life and raised by gorillas until humans invaded the forest once more. Taken home to learn once more his lost humanity, they teach him to read and all things on civilize life but they experiment on gorillas and open them up for science, this pissed off tarzan and he freeded one. Only to have it shot down, so he returned to the forest life, forsaking humanity. Wonderful acting, story and scenery.

MCT:July 14, 2007A more literary and intelligent treatment of the Tarzan story, the quality cast and well fleshed out characters make for a far more fulfilling film than the usual Dr. Dolittle/swinging/yodelling combo.

The first movie I had seen of Tarzan, and it remains as the best one on the subject. Handled with charm and subtlety on one hand and complete savagery on the other, this one excels!
-
MCT:May 22, 2007
cool... the way tarzan would have been in real life...the only other good film by Christopher Lambert aside from the original Highlander... definitely a must-see.
-
MCT:April 14, 2007Episodic narrative based on nine short stories and one poem by the late Raymond Carver, detailing the longings and thwarted lives of a disparate group of individua

this movie was the first to be released in america with Lambert...it's more faithful than most Tarzan adaptions and beautifully filmed.

Incredibly intense, exhilarating adventure film... for the first half. The second half is actually a compelling drama about the attempts to make him fit into English society. It's extremely good up to a point, but it feels incredibly anticlimactic and unsatisfying. Those who are unimpressed by Lambert should see this however - he's simply superb, turning Tarzan into a real, believable, three-dimension character with only a small handful of lines.
-
MCT:January 7, 2007Mostly, I remember that they overdubbed Andie MacDowell's languid Southern voice with something more suitably chirpy and British, and that was so distracting I almost didn't notice what a horrible actor Christopher Lambert is.
-
MCT:December 10, 2006
Christopher Lambert seemed like a great acting discovery at the time, it is now clear that the role of someone half-ape, half-man was perfect for him.

I enjoyed this version of Tarzan. One thing I didn't like was their dubbing all Andie McDowells lines with some british girl. But the story was pretty good
