Reviews:

Tarzan as Burroughs intended!
If you are looking for a modern film version of Buster Crabbe or Johnny Weismuller’s overcoming the machinations of unscrupulous, white safari guides or cunning, black tribesmen, while saving the animal kingdom, this is NOT the movie for you. This is a recounting of the Tarzan “legend” from its beginning in intelligent, adult terms. It is beautifully filmed and faithful to the Edgar Rice Burroughs stories.

Tarzan is no action hero, but a man torn between two worlds – the natural and the civilized. In a stunning performance, Christopher Lambert portrays this angst with absolute realism. If he slips up just once the cat will be out of the bag: the audience (especially the adult audience targeted by the film) will laugh, and the film will completely lose its grip. It will plummet into the cheesy depths. But Lambert never lets that happen. (Forget what you may think of him in other movies; when I saw this film at the theater on its original release, I thought he deserved an academy award.)

The supporting cast is uniformly excellent, as other commentators have noted. I disagree with most of them in that I didn’t find anything wrong with Andie McDowell’s performance. I wouldn’t have nominated her for an academy award – the role is undemanding – but she is completely up to it, such as it is. I don’t know why her voice was overdubbed, either.

The cinematography of the African segment of the tale is absolutely beautiful. It captures both the beauty of the African wilderness and the exotic expectation it holds in the collective imagination of those who have never been there. The scenery is lush and exotic, and the colors are vivid.

But this is also a “period” film, and the cinematography also magnificently depicts Victorian England – the countryside, the city and the interiors. The costumes are outstanding. The soundtrack is beautiful without being overwhelming or obtrusive.

There are some disturbing scenes – especially for animal lovers – but no more disturbing than a few scenes in Dances with Wolves. This is an excellent film about the conflict between civilization and nature, personified in the young Lord Greystoke, convincingly portrayed by Christopher Lambert.

Review By: krdement
While it might not appeal to all tastes, this is an amazing film.
Over the years, there have been approximately 374,085 Tarzan films, give or take a couple. In all of the ones other than “Greystoke” that I’ve seen, Tarzan is played by a guy who looks more at home on the cover of GQ and the guy seemed about as ape-like as you or me. So, it is refreshing that this film takes a much more realistic look at the Edgar Rice Burroughs character.

Unlike other Tarzan films I’ve seen, this version shows a LOT of young Greystoke in the jungle…hanging with his ape family and being all lord of the apey. I appreciate this and was blown away by the costumes, as these chimp-like apes* looked real and had real expressions. To me, this is the best part of the movie…though I am sure many viewers did not enjoy seeing about an hour of the film devoted to this. Also, while I am not a big Christopher Lambert fan, here he was exceptional and perfectly cast…I can’t say this about the Highlander films, as he was oddly cast as a Scotsman…despite his very French accent.

Overall, if you want a Tarzan film which is very close to the books, then this is it. In no way am I putting down previous Tarzan films (particularly the very well made Johnny Weissmuller ones), but this one is simply closer to the author’s vision…and looks exceptional. It’s obvious the filmmakers spent a lot of time and energy crafting such an authentic looking picture.

In the author’s books, the apes Tarzan/Greystoke lived with weren’t chimps or gorillas but some fictional species. For the film, the costumes were decidedly much more chimp-like.
