Genre: Drama
Jop’s Rating: 10/10
Greystoke: Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes is an intense drama that will bring a tear to the eye while it tells a story. For the first film of Christopher Lampert his talents are shown in this long movie, for today’s time. It is the extensive story of Tarzan from his birth, story of his heritage and heir to Greystoke. Torn between his families of apes and humans, Tarzan must decided who he is, man or ape. Complete with the epic Jane and Tarzan romance this movie gives you a beginning and an ending to the life of this historic character. This is also the introduction of Andie MacDowell as she plays Jane.
I tell ya, it beats the old 1930’s black and white weekend tv films that I used to watch back in the 70’s, they were kinda scary for a kid lol. This is not a children’s movie but will fill the interest of a childhood myth to enjoy as an adult.
I love this movie and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a great story. It will keep your interest thru out the whole movie. Warning, this is not a chic flic with a heart warming romance, this movie will touch your heart and break it at times. Great directing, writing, make-up and acting shows what talents were needed for each and every character that was created. It is a realistic view of a classic story that will be told and retold for many generations.
Just the best Tarzan movie ever!! It is in my movie collection because I enjoy this movie anytime, it is the definition of what a movie should be.
