Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews This ninth Tarzan film in the franchise is a ridiculous tale made more palatable only by Tarzan just being Tarzan. Rated: B- Jun 6, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

John N This movie showed in an afternoon movie years ago when I was a youngster. I found the death scenes (whether they involved good or evil characters) to be extremely disturbing - the underlying message was - a person dying in a terrible or an unusual way can be viewed casually and should not be viewed as tragic. Plus an interpretation of the movie and people dying is that supposedly property that is viewed as having value that is more important than human life - because that is what happened in this movie. This is not a movie for children of any age (I regret watching this movie - I did not know what to expect at that young age); and there should be a warning in advance if the movie is shown to adults. Terrible situations shown in this movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Roman L New Jane - no good. . Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Audience Member I greatly enjoyed this, my first of the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan films, and cannot wait to see more of the twelve. It's certainly one of the most entertaining and fun series, right up there with The Thin Man films. Brenda Joyce makes a fine Jane. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A fairly ordinary Tarzan adventure, clearly production line stuff whilst the franchise was still making money. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member "How can a guy climb trees, say Me Tarzan, You Jane, and make a million?" - Johnny Weissmuller Another wonderfully nostalgic film from the man that is and will forever be the embodiment of Tarzan (IMHO), Mr. Johnny Weismuller. This film like the previous one I just watched had a wonderful message and lesson about greed and how it would lead even the noblest of men astray. Same old storyline good triumphs evil and all that jazz. But I did, however, notice something I don't recall from having watched these films in my youth: Tarzan kills? I was shocked, especially during a seemingly more innocent time in Hollywood. I guess, I'm just so used to films being "Disney-fied" where the villain perishes by their own hand or carelessness or in some cases due to hero being in pursuit and unintentional causes them fall off the ledge, balcony, off a cliff, etc. But here, Tarzan throws a spear at a stooge, straight at his chest. He confronts two villains who stole relics from the temple until they walk back into quicksand (which would qualify as Disney-esque) except for the fact that Tarzan doesn't even attempt to rescue the villains; he just stands idly by and watch them sink. It just seems odd now-a-days when a hero would even rescue his arch-nemesis. I guess it's ok, as long as they were really bad guys. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Gave this an extra star as classic horror actress Maria Ouspenskaya was in it. Otherwise a rather tepid Tarzan adventure Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
