Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Eric Stevenson This movie features Tarzan going back to the jungle, but it's apparently not a sequel to anything. The special effects in this movie are just plain awful. The gorillas are so fake looking there's even a question asked here under the FAQ on why they're so bad looking. It gets really terrible near the end where you see this one guy turn into a giant CGI snake. Whether it's practical or CGI, the effects look awful either way. There's a lot going on in this movie, but it's so boring.There's just one random action sequence after another. The story is one of the most clichéd I've seen in a Tarzan movie. The slow motion gets annoying and it looks silly. I wanted to see how Tarzan got into suburbia in the first place. We get all this lame stuff about hidden gold and a hidden place with natives. This has been done so many times before in stuff like "Indiana Jones" and much better. *1/2
FlashCallahan On the night before his wedding, Tarzan receives a message from witch doctor Mugambe that his homeland is in danger. A treasure hunter named Ravens is searching for the lost city of Opar, and is destroying the jungle and desecrating the villagers' burial grounds in the process. Only Tarzan can stop Ravens and make things right in the African jungle, but will Jane stand for her fiancé being away for so long.....This film had almost all of it's violence edited out so it would be more accessible to a younger audience, but they left in all the bad acting, people in Gorilla suits, and some very bad special effects.It's just another knock off Indiana Jones film disguised as Tarzan. So we spend the film watching Casper Van Dien running around with his shirt off, talking to animals by going 'ooh ooh' to them, and opening his mouth so post production can put in the famous cry in after.It's not exciting in the slightest, us Brits are outed as the dastardly scoundrels we are, and it's no wonder that Jane March never made it to the big time.A really poor effort that makes no sense, and is poorly edited so your children can be as bored as you.
italian_angel_82 Casper Van Dien, the hot young actor who starred in Paul Verhoeven's hit, "Starship Troopers," is Tarzan, who, on the eve of the wedding to his beautiful fiancée, Jane (Jane March), is confronted by a vision of the destruction of his childhood home. Torn between staying in England with Jane and returning at once to Africa, Tarzan, Lord Greystoke, returns to his adopted home, where he squares off against European soldiers of fortune, led by the Oxford-educated Nigel Ravens (Steven Waddington), bent on discovering and looting the legendary and mythic city of Opar.When Jane decides to follow her fiancé Tarzan (Casper Van Dien) into dangerous territory, not only Tarzan must protect the city of Opar but must protect Jane also, while trying to stop Nigel Ravens and his men.
solar12 I can't complain at all about this movie. It gave me everything I was hoping for. It's cheesy and fun! I grew up on classic Tarzan flicks and jungle movies. I watched various classic Tarzans including Ron Ely and Johnny Weissmuller. I never missed a chance to catch a Tarzan movie on TV as a kid. Tarzan and the Lost City recaptures that type of childhood magic. It entertained me from start to finish. Its flaws are part of its charm and only add to the fun. All classic Tarzan movies have flaws. So what!? That's part of what makes 'em GREAT FUN! Tarzan and the Lost City is no exception. It provides this classic jungle movie fan with plenty of entertainment value. It's great fun with a big bowl of popcorn and a cold beverage!
