Summary: Good Tarzan Film. Better than most.
Review: This film is underrated, while it does deviate from the original author's storyline (what film doesn't) it remains more true to Edgar Rice Burroughs' TARZAN OF THE APES than any other Tarzan film I have seen, right down to Tarzan's learning French from his mentor as he nursed the French Lieutenant's injuries. The jungle footage was magnificent and respected the original story. Once in England, it took a left turn from Burrough's story but stayed in the spirit as well as showing you the perspective of Tarzan's heart. I am pleased.

Summary: A classic!
Review: This is a film not to be missed. It beautifully captures the spirit of the novel, doing so through captivating performances and lush, atmospheric locations. I happen to like the playfulness exhibited by the lead character and his grandfather. It poignantly illustrates the idea of someone who has been for all intents and purposes, suspended it time and is only now discovering their childhood, and human affiliation. I plan on purchasing the DVD as soon as it is released in June. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Great and excellent
Review: This is a great movie I have ever seen about Tarzan. Maybe to some of you, it does not satisfy the conventional want of the popular. But, it it totally true with common sense. There is a real pain for both Tarzan and Jane,Tarzan lover. i recommend to all of you that you should watch this movie in order to understand the original copy of Tarzan according to Burrough, Tarzan's creator. it is far more different from what you watch from other TArzan movies. You will enjoy it .

Summary: Best Tarzan movie EVER
Review: This movie tells a great story, with exceptional acting from the entire cast, believable apes, and with an important message. This is Lamberts best role.Who is the stupid movie Exec. who hasn't released this film to DVD yet? I've been waiting years to replace my aging VHS copy, and my patience is wearing thin.

Summary: a different sort of tarzan movie
Review: This movie was ok when I first watched it, but now that I am so familiar with Andie MacDowell and Glenn Close I find it impossible to hear Glenn's dubbed voice when Andie speaks and still enjoy the movie.

Summary: Great Tarzan Movie
Review: This simply has got to be one of the best Tarzan films ever made. Yet I can't help feeling that this Tarzan film is merely
a great prelude of what could have been a great series of more
Tarzan films. Christopher Lambert was excellent as Tarzan/John Clayton and Andie MacDowell looked beautiful as Jane (dubbed by
Glen Close). The scene of the jungle explorers traveling down
a African river via tramp steamer reminded me of Disney World's
Jungle Cruise ride exactly. Beautiful cinematography and Rick
Baker's ape effects were fantastic. This Tarzan film seems to take place around the late 1890s - early 1900s, so the attention
to period detail was very well done. So if jungle adventure and
romance is to your liking, check out this terrific film. Enjoy.

Summary: an interesting attempt
Review: This version of Tarzan is an interesting attempt to move the story away from its pulp origins, and in tone it works very well--slightly melancholy but with a taste for the exotic. Lambert doesn't embarrass himself and Holm is excellent as always, humane and intellectually curious. But the whole effort feels a little bit constipated by the seriousness, rather than elevated by it; you get the feeling that the filmmakers were afraid of being tainted by Burroughs's pulp sensibility. It starts to feel like someone trying to tell the story of Conan in the style of an E.M. Forster adaptation. Incidentally, the Amazon reviewer above is incorrect. Holm's character, D'Arnot, is Belgian in the original novel as well, and the fact that Tarzan learns to speak French first while still in the jungle is a relatively major plot point of the book.

Summary: Uh...
Review: Whether you think this movie is The Elephant Man For Dummies, or Tarzan Meets Jane Austen, there's nothing like a man acting like a monkey in a period drama. It's strange and wonderful.
