Daniel M. Kimmel Variety 02/08/2004
This silly adventure with Casper Van Dien as the latest Lord of the Apes comes across more like a sequel to George of the Jungle, but without the laughs. Go to Full Review

Occasionally getting drawn into movies like this is the downside of having HBO when you're stuck at home with nothing to do. Do whatever you have to--mow the lawn, clean the garage, re-grout the bathroom tiles--but stay away. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 18 Success in 1 hour and 24 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dubbed and subtitled in worldwide studios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Brad W 12/09/2024 This is my favorite Tarzan movie. Casper Van Dien and Jane March are perfect for their roles and make an attractive couple. The scenery is beautiful and the music is cinematic. I hated the villain which to me means that Steven Waddington was doing his job playing the part. The movie doesn't take a long time rehashing Tarzan's well known origin story. Instead we get a Tarzan who is now at home in both civilization and the wild. The worst part of the film involves a few brief scenes of apes that are obviously men in bad costumes. Don't go into this expecting a big budget production. This is a B movie but is highly entertaining. See more steve d 07/06/2020 Not a good version of an often told story. See more brendan n 08/28/2016 This wasn't a huge train wreck from the reviews or the box office. It's the hilarious moments when Tarzan feels the need to flip into water after thinking Jane had drowned or when the visual effects are super bad. This is much like The Phantom, The Shadow and The Rocketeer, guilty pleasures for the young crowd. Jane was well cast among all these other poorly cast people, Tarzan especially. I liked some of the scenery and the monkey in Janes dress but unless you have no idea of quality you'll struggle with this film. I've been going through backlog of movies and reviewing them all over again with dates but a film like this I cannot waste my time. 26-03-2018. See more 06/28/2014 Despite tacky writing and a video game-esque narrative, somehow, this other 90s Tarzan picture still gets by. This is thanks in part to lush African production values (the first Tarzan film to be filmed on location), a short runtime and even a thrilling and lively score by Christopher Framke. See more 03/30/2013 A dull and bland piece of crap with no humor, whatsoever! March needs to retire and Dien needs to keep his clothes off. See more Read all reviews
