In Reinhard
Klooss’ world, Tarzan (Kellan Lutz) is not adopted by apes as an infant. Instead, he is part of a happy rich
environmentalist family called the Greystokes who are in Africa to search for a
massive meteor that crashed there many moons ago. A meteor that could be a the solution to the
energy problems of the entire world and also give clues to the reason for the annihilation
of the pre-historic world.
In Reinhard
Klooss’ world, the boy JJ (Craig Garner) is the lone survivor of a helicopter
crash that should have taken away everything in a 100m radius (if not
more). Instead he is unscathed and is
then adopted by a Gorilla mother who has just lost her child. The helicopter is sucked in by an inanimate
force within the meteor.
In Reinhard
Klooss’ world, that 4 year old JJ who could speak English not only loses his
memory of the occurrence but also any command over the English language. Magically, when he meets Jane (Spencer Locke)
for the 2nd time he can speak in broken English without any help
from anyone. Rapidex English and
Speakwell Academy – are you listening? You will be soon out of business.
In Reinhard
Klooss’ world, female Gorillas have lips that are ever so slightly pinker (like
they have lipstick on them) as compared to the others. It is also perfectly normal for Tarzan to
walk into the pack with his new girl and the Gorilla mother-in-law knows
exactly what to do to make everyone feel at home.
In Reinhard
Klooss’ world, Tarzan can beat a silverback gorilla twice his size and four
times his strength and also threaten to kill him but spares his life and all is
hunky dory after. Tarzan can also single
handedly lift mother gorilla when she dies and carry her back home. Tarzan can also pick a rock that’s about 200
kgs (maybe more) and hurl it at a chopper that is getting away at over 100mph
AND HIT IT!!!
In Reinhard
Klooss’ world, it is perfectly normal for an environment activist to walk into
your office and ask for 1% of your annual profit towards conservation in
Africa. There are snow-capped regions where
Tarzan glides through the snow as if he was doing it all his life. Let me not forget the volcano that is housed
within these snow clad peaks – We are in Africa or Iceland?
In Reinhard
Klooss’ world, “You don’t find Tarzan.
Tarzan finds you”. At this point I
could not help but laugh out loud. It
was one of the most horrid versions of Tarzan that I have ever seen. No one has been really able to do justice to
the King of the Apes. But this was just
an all-time low.
Kids may like it
but I would never recommend you to waste your time on a movie that not only has
animation that is worse than a video game but is a misleading story. I am all for contemporary interpretations but
not gross violation of classics that should be narrated the way they were
written. Apologies to Edgar Rice
Burroughs. 2 on 10. Really bad.
