In England of 1913, Tarzan (Casper Van Dien) is due to marry Jane (Jane March), but he suddenly chooses to return to the jungle to prevent villainous explorer Nigel Ravens (Steve Waddington) from burning and killing in his quest for the lost city of Opar. Jane's pursuit of the vine-swinging Lord of the Apes forces her to confront snakes and other jungle perils. The film's inane dialogue is heard amid magnificent South African locations. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Daniel M. Kimmel, Variety
This silly adventure with Casper Van Dien as the latest Lord of the Apes comes across more like a sequel to George of the Jungle, but without the laughs.

Carlo Cavagna, AboutFilm.com
Occasionally getting drawn into movies like this is the downside of having HBO when you're stuck at home with nothing to do. Do whatever you have to--mow the lawn, clean the garage, re-grout the bathroom tiles--but stay away.

Luke Y. Thompson, New Times
No, no, no -- Casper Van Dien is NOT Tarzan!
-
James Kendrick, Q Network Film Desk
Not only it is poorly written, badly acted, and generally incompetent in all cinematic areas, it is thoroughly uninspired
