Movie Reviews of Tarzan and the Lost City

Movie Review: Great fun for children!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have never, ever considered the whole Tarzan idea or any of the books and movies on the subject anything more than an entertainment for children. Also, from such perspective only I am evaluating this movie.

My 7-year old son, who is a big Tarzan fan, asked me to buy him this movie on DVD, so I did. We've watched it together. He enjoyed it enormously and this is, in this particular case, a perfectly sufficient reason for me to rate this movie highly, as I did.

The actors playing the main roles are both very attractive, charming, and play very well, having in mind that the script is about Tarzan and his jungle, not about Hamlet or Brothers Karamazov. The movie is full of lush, wonderful scenes of African nature, exotic wild life. It's also very dynamic, full of action, definitely not boring. The good guys win over the bad ones. And if it's a great and clean enough entertainment for a seven-year old, it should be also appreciated by his, or her parents.

Regarding all that magic at the end, which frustrated so many reviewers. Well, it's no Dostoyevski guys, it's a pure children's entertainment, so why not some magic? Maybe those African tribe leaders really have the power to call back the souls of their long dead soldiers, in case of a realy prominent danger? And those souls return to defend their tribe! And what's wrong with some power from above changing the leader of the tribe into a humongous King Cobra, in the Moment of Truth? Haven't you seen magic like this, and much more, in any other movies? Disney maybe? Is it really so bad?

To me all those whiners look like someone who picked ice cream for a main course at a dinner, and then complained badly that "it was too light, too sweet, lacked any spice or more definitive substance. That's because you've picked ice cream guys! And a good one!
