Jane's pursuit of the vine-swinging Lord of the Apes forces her to confront snakes and other jungle perils.

    An obviously silly, stupid and lame movie that borders on SyFy made-for-TV quality, but strikes me as knowing that it's exactly that. And it's entertaining enough and doesn't overstay whatever welcome it has by breezing right by at 80 minutes.

    Casper Van Dien cashed in his chips too early when he starred in Starship Troopers. This movie is totally the reason he didn't blow up into a star. Anyway the movie's horrible and you can actually see Tarzan wearing sneakers in some of the shots... awful.

No, no, no -- Casper Van Dien is NOT Tarzan!

Not only it is poorly written, badly acted, and generally incompetent in all cinematic areas, it is thoroughly uninspired Full Review

Any expression beyond a sullen pout seems to take an extraordinary amount of concentration and physical exertion on Van Dien's part; his infrequent attempts at smiles are the stuff nightmares are made... Full Review

If this is truly 'A new Tarzan for a new generation,' then everyone falling into the Generation X category should be incredibly offended. I know I am. Full Review
