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.

This movie could benefit from some serious therapy. As near as I can tell it is actually two movies joined together only the bad judgement and odd values of Reinhard Klooss, the writer and director.Such a huge amount of energy for such a strange result!! One film, the one I liked, and the reason I watched to the end, was a sweet (animated) take on the basic Tarzan arc, Tarzan grows up in the jungle, meets Jane, yada yada. Yes it has been done before but the animation and story for this movie (of the two which, combined, make the entire schizoid movie) were satisfying, sincere and fun. Had the movie stayed there, it would have been a decent film.And then there is the second film stuck into the crock pot. Almost as if the writer had seen Lord of the Rings once too often, suddenly a army appears in the jungle out of nowhere, led by a nasty corporate type chasing a very annoying meteor. Ugh. Double ugh.Again nothing here a good shrink could not fix over 200 hours of therapy. And maybe that same shrink could find out why the writer/director felt compelled to kill Tarzan's 'mother" in a scene of gratuitous violence totally out of place in a kid's film?

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.

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 :)
