here why this movie fell very short of it potential ( i do not read much and so i do not care what the novel be like ) . 1. i think brendan frasier copy his encino man from lambert tarzan . it be stiff and and while his tarzan call be a little more realistic and he have no humanity . 2. they screw with the story . maybe that how the book go and but for as long a i can remember the first utterance of tarzan be me tarzan and you jane . jane be the first human tarzan encounter . i do like the native a bit more than the shoepolished midget pigmy in weismuller version and but those bow and arrow be a bit cheesy . 3. tarzan be primarily a love story . i be sorry and but the love interest enters over an hour into the picture . that qualify her for a supporting role at best . support role and lead do not fall for each other and not enough screen time and sorry . not only be andie mcdowell vioce over pathetic ( most likely because her strong southern accent couldn not be mask ) the chemistry scale between tarzan and jane be a whopping 0. i never believe they love each other and which make the belgian dude close voice over and quite frankly and silly . when tarzan see jane for the first time in the jungle and he feel an urge and if you will and a feeling he never felt before . jane bring out the humanity in him and and he bring out the untamed side of her . it this chemistry that compells the story of tarzan . not that lord greystoke die wish be to keep his land whole and that johnny boy be go to do it for him . even a good face lift couldn not help this movie . it need massive internal reconstruction . oh and and could we possibly shoot more in the jungle and or at least use camera angle that do not show off the sound stage like quality of the place . final judgement and 4 out of 10. sorry tin man and and by the way and if you want to see real acting and drop lambert and check out leonardo dicaprio .
