Movie Reviews of Tarzan and the Lost City
Movie Review: Good movie, Great actor
Summary: 5 Stars
I will admit that I saw this movie because I wanted to see the marvelous Casper Van Dien in a film partially clothed. Part of the beautiful scenery was the african locations and the other part of the beautiful scenery was the partially clothed Casper Van Dien. He is a man that has a beautiful body and is a celebration of the male body. Yes, this movie for me was a guilty pleasure. The movie travels a little too fast and it doesn't expalin too much about what is going on. In my opinion, it could have lasted longer with a little bit more suspense built in to the movie, but it is still a good movie. I do recommend this movie to anyone that likes Tarzan movies and especially to anyone that really likes seeing Casper Van Dien on film.Movie Review: Family Entertainment - Finally!
Summary: 4 Stars
I went to see this film in the theater when it was released and I have to say, that despite my own personal penchant for wanting darker, more edgy themes, I was thrilled to see a good, old-fashioned, wholesome, straightforward adventure tale suitable for the whole family - just like I enjoyed when I was a kid. Think about it: when was the last time that a film like this was made? I can tell you. It was the 1970s. Nothing since then has been free from vulgarity, excessive violence, sexuality and "complexity" of character that taints the hero - in short, things that are not aimed at nor appropriate for children. The only films for children anymore are animated. The message is that adults don't have time for telling tales of adventure and fantasy to kids and I promise you that the message has been received loud and clear. This film is the one standout I can think of in the last 30-odd years against that trend and I applaud it. In that context it was uncommonly good and by any measure, particularly among fans of ERB, it was among the most faithful to the books of any Tarzan film.Movie Review: Best Tarzan film in recent history
Summary: 4 Stars
...I don't think it is totally correct to say this film had no entertainment value or was not enjoyable. I grew up with Tarzan and have waited for years to see him come back to the big screen as a hero that my kids could associate with. Unfortunately, they are now grown and the attempts of Hollywood in their generation have fallen miserably short. I have read almost all of the Tarzan novels and I wish someone would actually take some of them and make a good film from say "Tarzan the Magnifcant" or "Tarzan the Terrible" where Tarzan is involved in adventure and fights against those who would invade his jungle and people he has vowed to protect. Why can't Tarzan be a hero for this generation? I enjoyed Casper Van Dien as Tarzan and would like to see him try again with a better script and director. Either that or give Joe Lala more to work with and get him away from that made for TV look and silliness.Movie Review: A Very Good Example of How a Tarzan Movie Should Be
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read quite a few of the Tarzan books, and the one thing that I have disliked about previous Tarzan films is the fact that Tarzan is portrayed as illiterate and unable to speak in complete sentences. In the books, he taught himself to read, and ended up speaking both English and French. I enjoyed this movie baised on that fact alone. It is refreshing to see a movie that closely follows the book it is based on, which is quite a rarity. If you are a fan of ERB's Tarzan books, and appreciate movies that stay close to the original plot, then you will enjoy this movie. Casper van Dien made a perfect Tarzan, and Jane March was a creditable Jane.Movie Review: A Very Good Example of How a Tarzan Movie Should Be
