PARENT REVIEW OF LEGEND OF TARZAN MOVIE 2016 TV

The Jungle LordвЂ™s last live-action big screen appearance of note вЂ“ IвЂ™m ignoring Casper Van DienвЂ™s 1998 take on the character, вЂњTarzan and the Lost CityвЂќ, which was a critical and box-office implosion вЂ“В was way back in 1984 when Christopher Lambert (the вЂњHighlanderвЂќ guy) portrayed our hero in вЂњGreystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the ApesвЂќ, a more serious take on the character which I admire quite a bit. And you gotta admit, heвЂ™s quite the swinger.

HeвЂ™s just a man who stands up for those who are downtrodden, no matter what their species. He doesnвЂ™t have any super powers really, or a snappy wardrobe. How many of us have used the line вЂњMe Tarzan, you JaneвЂќ with a significant other, or mangled his famous cry while pounding our chest like an idiot? To know Tarzan is to love him. Like Superman, he is someone who is instantly recognizable to young and old alike, even if you haveВ never watched or read his adventures. Tarzan, who recently celebrated his 100 th birthday, is one of those characters that transcends generations. To see him swinging from vine to vine through the jungle was a joy, and when evil doers were doing their evil deeds, there was nothing as thrilling as hearing that iconic yell echo out across the treetops. I was immediately taken by this stoic hero raised by apes, a man who represented the best of humanity even though he was raised as an animal.

My earliest onscreen memory of the character would have to be Ron ElyвЂ™s small screen portrayal that ran on TV in the late 60s, which I caught on reruns. From a very early age, the adventures of Lord Greystoke/John Clayton/Lord of the Apes/Tarzan have enthralled me through countless books, movies, comics, and TV shows.
