Same with pretty much every European fairy tale Diesney has adapted. The original stories were dark and messed up stories that were meant as a lesson to kids. Now people think they are happy stories with happy endings and the original lessons are lost.
+Timppa 3 true, when i was little, my parents induced me into reading hans christian andersen rather than watching disney movies, because they sugar coat them and make you grow naive
+caz You're right, Disney is such a terrible influence on a kid's mind. Me and my toddlers watched a double feature of A Clockwork Orange and Nymphomaniac last night.
+simplemanrobertson lol you do you I was raised this way and will raise my kids this way. and I watched and read clockwork orange at the age of 12 so I don't know what you're coming at. go take care of your kid instead of commenting irrelevant shit on UA-cam like a teenager or young adult would
That's the problem of today's young critics. They are brainwashed by Marvel theory - 'Brainless Fun with lot of one liners'. They want all movies be like Disney's Dreamland. I thought the novel of ERB was serious, not a comedy novel & this movie tried to be more faithful to the Original novel.
The Tarzan animated movie managed to balance darkness and fun almost effortlessly. It's amazing how easily people get worked up around the mention of the word 'fun' and immediately think the movie becomes a chore of one-liners.
you're absolutely right. This kid is confusing George of the Jungle with Tarzan, which is supposed to be dark and serious. Even the 1984 movie was very serious. This kid clearly doesn't understand the novel.
Alia Alemadi The entire concept of Tarzan is a bit silly. That's good though, that's why he's an interesting character. He's an improbably gifted, superhuman jungle man. A Tarzan story should have a sense of fun and adventure to it. If it's taken so gravely seriously, it's just kind of missing the point.
+DoctorLazers serious doesn't always have to be associated with reality. The story they tackled here is not his origin. He's not a young boy exploring and having fun. He's a full grown man after a decade of marriage, has his wife taken and forced to once again be in an environment he let go a long a time ago. Viewers going in should expect that and it is pretty obvious in all the trailers as well. Don't u agree ? I mean they were honest from the beginning.
Tarzan is not supposed to be fun... sorry Chris... The original Edgar Rice Burroughs books are dark, bloody and violent... that is how Tarzan should be...
AramiGGs27 The novels, as others have pointed out, do have Tarzan fighting dinosaurs. They're all full of inaccuracies and while the cartoon was certainly more fun, I do agree it's not the source material and not everything has to follow in Disney's footsteps.
Two years later and I still love the movie, I wish for David Yates to make more films outside The Wizarding World, and I still thought his direction was fantastic and well made, just proves he is talented on the director's chair, and I really wish we could get a sequel
I'm a fan of Tarzan, reading the books atm but damn, there was a lot of kids at the cinema. Like they were expecting the cast to dub the Disney version or something.
most underrated comment. he probably also just watched like 5 mins of george of the jungle during lunch break or something when he was younger, and it hasnt left his brain yet
Holy fucking crap. Stop trying to defend this movie by saying the Directors Cut is better! BvS is shit, the extended cut is shit, heck I'll even say Batman & Robin is better because at least that movie is enjoyably bad... BvS doesn't even have the "enjoyable" factor going for it. It's just bad, horribly horribly bad.
+mikepuppetz9 saying that batman and robin is better and calling it shit shit shit without proof doesn't exactly help your argument especially since you probably shouldn't be watching DC if you disagree so much
Legacy was just fine. It was a thrilling adventure of a guy and a girl travelling the world in order to get a pill... Yeh, the script just wasn't as strong as it could've been. The casting though, it was really good. Renner was great.
+Chauncer renner was great in the film, but the script was just crap. at least if they use him again we won't be seeing him run around with a girl hunting a fking pill
Jason Bourne's motivation (first 3 movies): I don't know who I am, but people keep framing/chasing me so I kill them. Bourne Legacy: I don't want to die. The Bourne scripts suck in general, but at least I cared about Renner trying to survive a fucked up system he got played into rather than Jason discovering his humanity via shaky cam over three movies.
He didn't grow up with Harry Potter books. He didn't play his entire childhood with Harry Potter games. So I think it's unlikely he will do a review of the franchise
This movie is FANTASTIC I don't care what anyone says and I'm not even a Tarzan fan this is without a doubt one of the most underrated movies of the decade so far.
The Jungle Book from 2016 was Disney and The Legend of Tarzan was Warner Bros. Warner Bros did a Jungle Book movie of their own but that movie by Andy Serkis known as Mowgli ended up getting sold to Netflix. In other words Disney loves to fuck Warner Bros chances of releasing Successful movies being faithful to the original novels just for Profit and that’s one of the reasons why I’ve really Hated Present day Disney!
As a fan of the Tarzan novels since I was a kid, I've been waiting for a film version of Tarzan -- No, its never been done right -- and I hope this one is it.
Chris dude, I love yeah! But are you seriously going to say it bothered you because it had no "fun." Yet you loved Samuel Jackson because he was having "fun." His role in the film was literally too provide you with comic relief. It's like most movies now are being criticized for being "not fun." From the very original novels, Tarzan wasn't exactly a "fun" filled story. Peace man!
Does anyone else try to predict what grade the film is going to receive while watching Chris' videos? Other than trying to determine based on his face picture lol. I always start out at an A+ and if the review is great throughout, it stays at an A+. Once Chris starts to discuss things he didn't like, I start dropping grades. It's fun trying to guess lol
The historical part of the movie, was Hollywood accurate, but it did not belong in the Tarzan movie. I just watch this movie to stare as Tarzan anyway🙃🙃 ETA Loved Sam Jackson!! He brought the fun did not take himself to seriously
As a Norwegian (who automatically understands Swedish because that´s how Scandinavia works), it´s really funny when you pronounce Skarsgård as "Scar-Scar". The closest English pronunciation would be something like "Scars-gore". It´s like with Django - the D is silent.
nah but do yoi have time to talk about Jesus Christ our lord and savior he hung bled and died for our sins but rose on the third day now he sits by the right hand of the father if you put your faith in him amd give him your life Heaven is what awaits 😊
+OldSlyEyes No I think you mean our prince of darkness, the one who sacrificed his rank and leadership for freedom. All hail Lucifer, may he one day bring the one who resides before God and bring about the destruction of creation.
For those who don't know, Edgar Rice Burroughs owned a farmland on the outskirts of Los Angeles in the early 1900s. Since then, the area has become a residential community called Tarzana.
oh my god, I feel like nobody understood this movie. It's not about 'fun'. Those flashbacks were meant to show you how rough and traumatising John's childhood was. Yeah, he was 'one' with the animals and swung from vines, but he did all that (literally being beaten to a pulp on several occasions just to secure his positon plus being constantly malnourished) because he had to to survive and because that's what life as an animal is, it's rough. And like, yeah, it's serious that an entire country is being enslaved by Belgium, sorry if there are not enough slavery jokes in this for you, like, what?! I think this was a really, really touching, well made movie. I can imagine how hard it must be not to make a Tarzan movie super cheesy and they did it. Not even the war cry was cringey. His name wasn't cringey (cause they changed it to John). The fact that the one white guy saves all of the Congo wasn't super cringey because I feel like they properly showed how intertwined John is with the people of that country and how he isn't an outsider popping in and trying to change stuff. So yeah. And there were still plently of scenes that were nothing but awesome vine swinging that make you want to get on an exercise regime.
Hey Chris, yeah, I was waiting for this movie and thought it was great! :) I saw it in Imax 3D and it really helped to see the jungle surround you and the characters. I liked that it was not an orgin story and felt the seriousness of the movie was warneted with the story and plot - I actually left the theater wanted to know if any of that set up of the plot was true or even remotely historical cause it seemed really cool! I hope they do more of these, I would like to see more tales unfold.
Lots of critics hated this film because this is not appropriate for little kids. They clearly don't even know that tarzan is originally a novel that's not made for kids and this film is not a live action Disney remake.
Growing up with Tarzan it was better than I thought it would be. Sam Jackson & Christolf played the same characters as in every movie. The only problem I had with Tarzan was his yell. Are you kidding me!!! It was awful & not from the soul. Other than that Dayuum!
When I worked at Godiva, we weren't allowed to call our hollow Easter bunnies "hollow," we had to call them "semi-solid." This movie sounds very "semi solid."
14 reviews. It has been 14 reviews since you last fully enjoyed a movie. 14. I have sat through your terrible re-enactments of iconic lines and monologues, (those are the most painful as they just keep going on like a bandaid slowly being peeled off a barely healed wound), endured an entire video dedicated to reviewing your very own Indiana Jones films you made with your pals when you were younger, rolled my eyes at another video where you ranted about actual film fans giving you a hard time because you and your "years" of screenwriting experience thought it would be a fantastic idea to tweet your 3 page treatment on how you could "fix" a blockbuster that was 20+ years in the making. 14 reviews of movies you "weren't looking forward to" or weren't excited for. The last movie you completely enjoyed was the Conjuring 2. 14 reviews ago. You aren't a movie fan anymore. You don't love film as much as you claim to. You even rip apart movies you say you love. Jaws 2? hello? What's happened to you? You used to enjoy movies a lot more. You could see the fun of a silly summer movie or the fun in a cheesy buddy cop movie. But not anymore. You actually dislike more movies than ever before. You can't take criticism yourself and you don't like movies anymore. So I'm unsubscribing. With your growing popularity you've become jaded and too serious for your own good. I guess it was too good to last. Someone who genuinely loved film who actually liked the movies legitimate critics never do. Now you are just like them. So I'm bailing now, before I watch you get worse, before you start reviewing trailers as if they're the full film, before you start acting like you are the final word on the hard work of hundreds of people. I mean, I understand recognizing a bad film, man, but they are ALL bad to you lately. Enough. Good luck, Man. I'll hope you can find that love of film you used to have.
This is why I like you Chris. You say it's a decent movie but your not a fan of Tarzan and you understand that other people might be pumped for the film. so instead of just trash talking it like other reviewers, you actually review the movie and leave your emotional experience to the side so that us as Tarzan fans can know it might be gold to us. Thanks!
Put your faith in what you most believe in Two worlds, one family Trust your heart, let fate decide, to guide these lives we see A paradise untouched by man Within this world blessed with love A simple life, they live in peace Softly tread the sand below your feet now Two worlds, one family Trust your heart, let fate decide, to guide these lives we see Beneath the shelter of the trees Only love can enter here A simple life, they live in peace Raise your head up, lift high the load Take strength from those that need you Build high the walls, build strong the beams A new life is waiting, but danger's no stranger here No words describe a mother's tears No words can heal a broken heart A dream is gone, but where there's hope Somewhere, something is calling for you Two Worlds, one family Trust your heart, let fate decide, to guide these lives we see -Two Worlds, Tarzan Soundtrack, by Phil Collins
So, which is the better Tarzan movie? The Legend of Tarzan (2016) or Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan (1984)? Have you seen the latter Chris? Maybe you could do a flashback review?
Speaking of David Yates, do you believe you'll do a review of the Harry Potter films leading up to Fantastic Beasts? I'd really like to see your opinions.
Maybe I am just nostalgic but Christopher Lambert as Tarzan in Greystroke The Legend of Tarzan 1984 will always be Tarzan to me. I have always loved him as an actor since the Highlander days and thought he was awesome in Beowulf. I know he is a little cliche' and isn't oscar worthy or anything but I grew up on his movies and when I think of Tarzan that is who I think of. Will I still watch this movie? Yes but only because I grew up reading Tarzan comics and Christopher Lambert movies. lol.
Edgar Rice Burroughs took himself very seriously. Through our modern lens, his ideas may seem silly and farfetched but, in his time, he wrote serious romance, serious friendships and some seriously brutal violence. I haven't actually read any Tarzan but, having read some of his Barsoom books, I can say that this felt more loyal to the writings of Burroughs than any other adaptation I've seen of his work.
Good review, thanks for the info. Just wondering...what ever happened to your anime reviews you talked about doing? I'd love to hear your take on some of the new and classic stuff that's out there. Keep up the good work.
lol, something about the phrasing of "He gets called back to the jungle..." got me thinking -- though maybe he really, literally does, I haven't seen it yet -- like: "Hello? Yes. This is the jungle... we're calling you back." Cut to Bourne crossover movie.
Would have loved for you to compare it to Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan with Christopher Lambert. Loved that movie, and still excited about this one...
Just watched it! I liked the movie.. like u said, it was as good as live action Tarzan movie could be! And I appreciated how it was meant more for adults than children..The action looked good.. the actor really embodied tarzan.. the animals looked amazing.. and I loved his way of communicating with animals.. u didn’t mention that aspect of the movie at all which I felt was very important! I gave it 7.5/10
If there no phil collins. Me no watch.
+George Pearson a 100 actually haha
+Luigi it's a joke. Your right about me being furry trash but I am not diseny trash.
I bet it's 46726 of them.
Yeah for me, Tarzan always goes with Phil Collins
TWO WORLDS, ONE FAAMMMMILY
Is Samuel L Jackson ever not the greatest part to a movie?
Good point
Sadly the Star Wars Prequels.
jurassic park?
i don't know. being the only dude with a purple lightsaber.
lmao
Tarzan wasn't meant to be a fun flick knowing how the novel goes
Same with pretty much every European fairy tale Diesney has adapted. The original stories were dark and messed up stories that were meant as a lesson to kids. Now people think they are happy stories with happy endings and the original lessons are lost.
+Timppa 3 true, when i was little, my parents induced me into reading hans christian andersen rather than watching disney movies, because they sugar coat them and make you grow naive

Tarzan is not meant to be fun. that's george of the jungle.
That's the problem of today's young critics. They are brainwashed by Marvel theory - 'Brainless Fun with lot of one liners'. They want all movies be like Disney's Dreamland. I thought the novel of ERB was serious, not a comedy novel & this movie tried to be more faithful to the Original novel.

+BDTiger 07 Say one more time about Marvel being "brainless fun" and I'll feed you to the Punisher.
+strangerthanreality civil war was pretty much brainless fun dude, at the same level of a fast a furious film I will say
you're absolutely right. This kid is confusing George of the Jungle with Tarzan, which is supposed to be dark and serious. Even the 1984 movie was very serious. This kid clearly doesn't understand the novel.
It's not a Disney movie Chris. The novel wasn't a kids' book either. In fact I believe it's absolutely great that it's serious in tone.
Classic Tarzan fights dinosaurs at one point dude. It's a pulp era story, they're all kinda over the top.
+DoctorLazers well ya I don't care about all the sequels. Only first book matters and perhaps second.
Alia Alemadi The entire concept of Tarzan is a bit silly. That's good though, that's why he's an interesting character. He's an improbably gifted, superhuman jungle man. A Tarzan story should have a sense of fun and adventure to it. If it's taken so gravely seriously, it's just kind of missing the point.

Viewers going in should expect that and it is pretty obvious in all the trailers as well. Don't u agree ? I mean they were honest from the beginning.
+DoctorLazers so just because a movie is unrealistic can't be serious? Alien should have funny moments? You know the story is unrealistic
Tarzan is not supposed to be fun... sorry Chris... The original Edgar Rice Burroughs books are dark, bloody and violent... that is how Tarzan should be...
Tarzan is supposed to be dark, so when you say where's the ''fun''? Sounds like a rotten tomatoes critic to me...
Probably from the cartoon adaptation?
Hunter Gallagher that was a cartoon, and has loads of inaccuracies compared to the novel.
AramiGGs27 The novels, as others have pointed out, do have Tarzan fighting dinosaurs. They're all full of inaccuracies and while the cartoon was certainly more fun, I do agree it's not the source material and not everything has to follow in Disney's footsteps.
Because a movie about a man who can communicate with animals, swing from trees and more has to be depressing and moody, right?
VoyeurTheNinja depends on what you prefer, I certainly don't mind it, and as I said, the novels were like that...
Two years later and I still love the movie, I wish for David Yates to make more films outside The Wizarding World, and I still thought his direction was fantastic and well made, just proves he is talented on the director's chair, and I really wish we could get a sequel
Margot Robbie = the reason te be excited for this movie

Will you review the Ultimate Cut of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"?
Tell that to my neck!
probably not
Holy fucking crap. Stop trying to defend this movie by saying the Directors Cut is better!

+mikepuppetz9 saying that batman and robin is better and calling it shit shit shit without proof doesn't exactly help your argument especially since you probably shouldn't be watching DC if you disagree so much
Is it already out?
"I'm gonna review all 3 Bourne films" LOL, doesn't even acknowledge the Renner garbage movie
Legacy was just fine. It was a thrilling adventure of a guy and a girl travelling the world in order to get a pill... Yeh, the script just wasn't as strong as it could've been. The casting though, it was really good. Renner was great.
+Chauncer renner was great in the film, but the script was just crap. at least if they use him again we won't be seeing him run around with a girl hunting a fking pill
Loved the bourne legacy. Thought it was just as good as Supremacy if not better.
Jason Bourne's motivation (first 3 movies): I don't know who I am, but people keep framing/chasing me so I kill them. Bourne Legacy: I don't want to die. The Bourne scripts suck in general, but at least I cared about Renner trying to survive a fucked up system he got played into rather than Jason discovering his humanity via shaky cam over three movies.
John
how about the reviews of all the Harry Potter films every month leading to the premiere of Fantastic Beasts??
I think he only reviewed the last one, but he watched them in a rush and didn't really like them
How about a lobotomy? (Sorry. Couldn't resist. Not a fan.)
He didn't grow up with Harry Potter books. He didn't play his entire childhood with Harry Potter games. So I think it's unlikely he will do a review of the franchise
He didn't like the first two. He liked the ones after them
This movie is FANTASTIC I don't care what anyone says and I'm not even a Tarzan fan this is without a doubt one of the most underrated movies of the decade so far.
So close to the shit storm call the new ghostbusters.

I always start out at an A+ and if the review is great throughout, it stays at an A+. Once Chris starts to discuss things he didn't like, I start dropping grades. It's fun trying to guess lol
That's an interesting game.
I do the same, I got the ratings right most of the time. I've been watching his reviews for almost 2 years.
Tarzan is a serious movie , you guys grew up with the disney Tarzan .I grew up with live action TV series and they were serious
There was a 2013 Tarzan???
The historical part of the movie, was Hollywood accurate, but it did not belong in the Tarzan movie. I just watch this movie to stare as Tarzan anyway🙃🙃
ETA
Loved Sam Jackson!! He brought the fun did not take himself to seriously
I laughed my ass off when he brought up the other Tarzan and looked at the floor
As a Norwegian (who automatically understands Swedish because that´s how
Scandinavia works), it´s really funny when you pronounce Skarsgård as
"Scar-Scar". The closest English pronunciation would be something like
"Scars-gore". It´s like with Django - the D is silent.
Lol that's so cool. Been a fan of skarsgard since the Eric northmen days
Chris... I am never this early... Do you have a minute to talk about Lucifer, Prince of Darkness and our Lord of Darkness?
nah but do yoi have time to talk about Jesus Christ our lord and savior he hung bled and died for our sins but rose on the third day now he sits by the right hand of the father if you put your faith in him amd give him your life Heaven is what awaits 😊
You mean Hive?

I just watched it and completely agree. This movie was actually pretty good. I'm surprised at the reviews.
Basically if you're a fan of something you will eat up anything based on it

That subtle Bourne Legacy roast tho
.. i enjoyed the movie. i thought the writing, especially for jane, could have been better. too much reliance on obvious cgi as well.
What, did you think they would be able to use REAL animals in this movie? You know humans can't control wild animals to do their bidding, right?
Have you seen Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan? What do you think of it?
At the core the movie is really about King Leopoldo and the enslavement of the Congo smh
because tarzan is going to stay tarzan forever.......yaaaay
I love it when you do the skits!! They're fantastic and always so well done. Really excited to see the Bourne one you do!

Chris, what is your opinion on the Ultimate Edition of BvS - do a review of it please!!!
When I worked at Godiva, we weren't allowed to call our hollow Easter bunnies "hollow," we had to call them "semi-solid." This movie sounds very "semi solid."
The last time I was this early... I had a neck.
oh please
i prefered it when you have your hand crushed. you screamed like a little girl
I think if you made a dark gritty Tarzan film that closely followed the book it would be pretty epic.
Taco Tuesday but on a Wednesday

maybe he made the video yesterday but uploaded today
Yaaaas
"George, George, George of the Jungle. Watch out for that tree!" Oh wait, this is Tarzan, my bad.
epic live action
I enjoyed this movie a thousand times more than I thought I would and I’m not a Tarzan fan. Worth watching. 😃✌🏽
Greystoke (1984) is dramatic and serious... and a much better done movie.
I'm so hyped for the Bourne movies review and the skit. Never been this hyped in Stuckmann's channel for a while. Looking forward to them!
14 reviews. It has been 14 reviews since you last fully enjoyed a movie. 14. I have sat through your terrible re-enactments of iconic lines and monologues, (those are the most painful as they just keep going on like a bandaid slowly being peeled off a barely healed wound), endured an entire video dedicated to reviewing your very own Indiana Jones films you made with your pals when you were younger, rolled my eyes at another video where you ranted about actual film fans giving you a hard time because you and your "years" of screenwriting experience thought it would be a fantastic idea to tweet your 3 page treatment on how you could "fix" a blockbuster that was 20+ years in the making. 14 reviews of movies you "weren't looking forward to" or weren't excited for. The last movie you completely enjoyed was the Conjuring 2. 14 reviews ago. You aren't a movie fan anymore. You don't love film as much as you claim to. You even rip apart movies you say you love. Jaws 2? hello? What's happened to you? You used to enjoy movies a lot more. You could see the fun of a silly summer movie or the fun in a cheesy buddy cop movie. But not anymore. You actually dislike more movies than ever before. You can't take criticism yourself and you don't like movies anymore. So I'm unsubscribing. With your growing popularity you've become jaded and too serious for your own good. I guess it was too good to last. Someone who genuinely loved film who actually liked the movies legitimate critics never do. Now you are just like them. So I'm bailing now, before I watch you get worse, before you start reviewing trailers as if they're the full film, before you start acting like you are the final word on the hard work of hundreds of people. I mean, I understand recognizing a bad film, man, but they are ALL bad to you lately. Enough. Good luck, Man. I'll hope you can find that love of film you used to have.
And... How many actually good films have been released as of late?
bye im sure stuckmann will miss you ...
Or...or....hear me out....maybe there just haven't been good movies coming out lately.
I'm sure the loss of your one subscription will absolutely fuckin DEVASTATE Chris

The Disney's Tarzan is one of the best if not the best Disney film ever made. It will forever be in my heart. *Phil Collins voice*
When I saw that wild beasts stampede scene in the trailer, it reminded me of Ace Ventura When Nature Calls and I laughed my ass off!
This is why I like you Chris. You say it's a decent movie but your not a fan of Tarzan and you understand that other people might be pumped for the film. so instead of just trash talking it like other reviewers, you actually review the movie and leave your emotional experience to the side so that us as Tarzan fans can know it might be gold to us. Thanks!
I want those lights can I please ask where to get them!???
Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart, let fate decide, to guide these lives we see
A paradise untouched by man
Within this world blessed with love
A simple life, they live in peace
Softly tread the sand below your feet now
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart, let fate decide, to guide these lives we see
Beneath the shelter of the trees
Only love can enter here
A simple life, they live in peace
Raise your head up, lift high the load
Take strength from those that need you
Build high the walls, build strong the beams
A new life is waiting, but danger's no stranger here
No words describe a mother's tears
No words can heal a broken heart
A dream is gone, but where there's hope
Somewhere, something is calling for you
Two Worlds, one family
Trust your heart, let fate decide, to guide these lives we see
-Two Worlds, Tarzan Soundtrack, by Phil Collins
your smiling face in the thumbnail shows it is a good movie
So, which is the better Tarzan movie? The Legend of Tarzan (2016) or Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan (1984)? Have you seen the latter Chris? Maybe you could do a flashback review?
Speaking of David Yates, do you believe you'll do a review of the Harry Potter films leading up to Fantastic Beasts?
I'd really like to see your opinions.
Where's Phil Collins when you need him?
that thumbnail lol: when your mom says you can hangout with your friend only if you take your little brother with you
Maybe I am just nostalgic but Christopher Lambert as Tarzan in Greystroke The Legend of Tarzan 1984 will always be Tarzan to me. I have always loved him as an actor since the Highlander days and thought he was awesome in Beowulf. I know he is a little cliche' and isn't oscar worthy or anything but I grew up on his movies and when I think of Tarzan that is who I think of. Will I still watch this movie? Yes but only because I grew up reading Tarzan comics and Christopher Lambert movies. lol.
Christ puttin' in WORK....dropping mad content bro THANKS!
They'll never top the Bo Derek one.
How much O'Keefe will we get?
Milles O'Keefe!
Let's put a SMILLLE on Chris' face
Phil Collins breathed life into Tarzan. They should have made this film slightly more fun, and should have called onto Phil Collins.
I especially loved Tarzan, the Disney animation, because Tarzan looked so much like my Step-Father at the time.
That 2013 animated Tarzan movie looks like a hilariocity review waiting to happen
Hi Chris, please do a Batman vs Superman Ultimate Edition spoiler review because a lot of people's opinion on the movie changed after watching it!
Nice review Chris. Looking forward to seeing you review the Bourne movies!
Edgar Rice Burroughs took himself very seriously. Through our modern lens, his ideas may seem silly and farfetched but, in his time, he wrote serious romance, serious friendships and some seriously brutal violence. I haven't actually read any Tarzan but, having read some of his Barsoom books, I can say that this felt more loyal to the writings of Burroughs than any other adaptation I've seen of his work.
how about you do short review for BvS ultimate edition? im sure you would like more but not sure how much more :)
My two favorite Tarzans where the animated one from the 90's and George of the Jungle. You can't be too serious with this character.
So what movie should I watch this weekend Chris?
is it good compared to the first movie with the highlander guy?
hey Chris can you review the Purple rain movie? it would be a good time to do so fingers crossed lol
I'm not a HUGE Tarzan fan and this looks good to me. So I'm glad to hear your review. Sounds like I'd like it.
"The man who brought us some of the best Harry Potter films" how do you say that with a straight face?
Excellent video! Chris Stuckmann
Good review, thanks for the info. Just wondering...what ever happened to your anime reviews you talked about doing? I'd love to hear your take on some of the new and classic stuff that's out there. Keep up the good work.
lol, something about the phrasing of "He gets called back to the jungle..." got me thinking -- though maybe he really, literally does, I haven't seen it yet -- like: "Hello? Yes. This is the jungle... we're calling you back."
Cut to Bourne crossover movie.
I would watch a film of just Alexander Skarsgård on the toilet reading a magazine.
Hi Chris, I love your videos
question: did you see the third purge film? if so did you like it?
Hey Chris, could you please review Swiss Army Man?
It isn't playing in any theater's near me unfortunately.
"Not fun" "Too serious" is exactly what I thought of Batman vs Superman
Would have loved for you to compare it to Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan with Christopher Lambert. Loved that movie, and still excited about this one...
Just watched it! I liked the movie.. like u said, it was as good as live action Tarzan movie could be! And I appreciated how it was meant more for adults than children..The action looked good.. the actor really embodied tarzan.. the animals looked amazing.. and I loved his way of communicating with animals.. u didn’t mention that aspect of the movie at all which I felt was very important! I gave it 7.5/10
Chris! Will you be doing a review for the Ultimate Edition of BvS?
honestly Disney's Tarzan from 1999 is the best adaptation, and that Phil Collins OST was great
Just realized SLJ and Waltz are in this movie together. Could you imagine if instead of David Yates, it was "written and directed" by Tarantino.
This gets a thumbs up because of that stare at 4:08............ I tried watching that, but couldn't do it. I COULDN'T DO IT, MAN.
