Sooo horrible..

Rating: 1/10 (6 May 2005)

After watching Disney's 'The Lion King' (which I loved), I had lots of great expectations of this new, supposedly great, Disney movie. But it turned out to be a great disappointment instead - and when the movie ended, I have to admit, I was quite relieved as well as left wondering how Disney could bring themselves to show this movie to the public. It seemed so unfinished.. First of all, the only people Tarzan encounters in the jungle are Jane & co, who all speak with a British accent. And still, Tarzan (when learning almost perfect English in a few days!?) speaks with a thick American accent. Where did that come from? This leads me to the next thing, I have been wondering - how does he know that his name is pronounced 'Tarr-zaan' in English? I mean, the name was given to him by his monkey-mother, so he has probably never heard it pronounced any other way than 'uh uh huh' or something.. I find that very weird. Second, is the bruising I would imagine he'd get on his feet, from surfing like crazy around in the trees. Again - very strange.. Third is the villain. I never quite understood what his motives are, and I've just concluded that he must be just plain mean and cruel for no apparent reason. Well, I could keep naming this movie's inconsistencies but that would take up too much space, I think. Finally, don't get me wrong. I do have an imagination and I am aware that Disney movies don't always reflect reality. After all, I liked 'The Lion King', where all the animals talk and stuff, but in 'Tarzan' it is just not convincing, because the whole story is so stupid and non-believable.
