I really don't understand why so many people hate this movie.I've seen a lot of complaints about the animation. It's not Pixar, but so what? It's still very good. From the reviews you would think Tarzan was on the level of an old Playstation game. It's fluid and beautiful to look at. While it's not a very original story (Tarzan's origin has been told and retold a million times in movies), it's good enough for an adventure movie like this. It's touching, romantic and full of jungle action like the classic movies. It's not directly based on ERB's novels. It's more like a combination of the Disney and Weissmuller version.Usually, these kind of animated movies contain fart jokes or sexual innuendo. It was a nice surprise to see that Tarzan steered clear of such unfunny and idiotic stuff. The worst thing about the movie is that they used that Coldplay song in one of the scenes. Cliché!Maybe the problem is that some critics and people have been spoiled by Pixar and Disney. They expect every single animated movie to be like that. When a movie by a different company comes out, a movie that's just there to entertain, it's not good enough.Tarzan is just a fun and harmless movie for the whole family.

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.

This is terrible! The dialog is stiff and broken. The character's reactions are not synchronize with their face and situation at all. This has to be the worst movie about Tarzan ever. Jane does not have any major impact or impression to the viewer. She appear just to be saved and did not do anything noticeable. And at the end, her "Don't leave me" line is very fake. The final battle is childish and ridiculous. It is very short, and utterly stupid. Note that the earlier plant monster should have joined the final battle. The scary mercenary behaved just like idiots. Seriously? Some small snakes and all of them lost their mind? Honestly. Tarzan himself has a constantly stiff and unchanging expression. While it did change in some scenes, the changes are minimal and hard to see. This movie's a big disappointment that only managed to make me want to re-watch the other, better Tarzan movie.

This was not a Disney Tarzan. It was more like a Marvel or DC Tarzan and I will take Marvel or DC over Disney every day and twice on Sunday. . I never saw the Disney Tarzan and have no plans. Ridiculous? Absolutely! Every bit as ridiculous as Batman or Spiderman. For better or worse I like a good old insane superhero story and that's what this was. In review I would like to quote my favorite review of arguably the worst Star Trek movie. Kirk Spock and McCoy are together again and either you like those guys or you don't and if you do you know who you are. I noticed that my review sounds a bit like what I imagine the 40 year old virgin might write And fortunately there's one big difference between him and me I ain't no virgin.
