Should've been a Perfect 10, but instead a 7

Rating: 7/10 (14 June 2001)

I take away the first point partly for killing off the villain (yet again) and partly because the villain was ridiculous in the first place, taking up time that could have been used to expand the usual quick-cut musical montage.
Hence the reason for the removal of the second point: having a musical montage take the place of an emotional or important event (two actually: tarzan growing up and Tarzan learning about civilization). Is it really so much to ask for them to be expanded? Despite what people think about the attention span of children, they are often enthralled when things they know are turned on their heads (when I was a kid, I loved that bird in the Little Mermaid whose explanations of forks and pipes were so far off base).
The final point I remove is for the allegedly hip side characters, who speak like kids from the 1990's instead of the 1890's. It really bugs me, but I'm not sure why. I guess it's partly because ten years from now, kids will be laughing "at" lines like "That one hurt 'em," just like people today laugh at Jimminy Cricket's antiquated idioms. It dates the movie, and not in a good way.
