Looks good to me.

[VinMan]

Looks cool. I had no idea about this....

[torgospizza]

Looks like they didn't read any of the novels.

^that could be said about most of the Tarzan films ever made.

I dunno--I'm excited to see Tarzan again and possible merchandising, but the character designs have a creepy "Gelfling" look to me.

Still can't watch Polar Express and all those dead, dead eyes,

Wow...I have mixed feelings about this movie...

First, I thought Tarzan was found as a baby. Second, I'm confused as to the target audience of this movie, is it for kids, or adults? If it is for adults, is this the future of movies? No paying actors, just animators and computer techs? If it's for kids, it seems a little intense.

Didn't know about this but think I'll pass.

..., is this the future of movies?

Yes. Not just movies... it's the future of *everything*.... I mean, it's "progressive technology". Making things that we'd *like* to see: *actually* possible.

And if you live long enough, you'll have to be prepared for more extreme scenarios than "amazing visual art" with the only limitations being "our imaginations".... Indeed, the "agenda-filled" robots with Austrian accents who turn on humanity (or something else of that "extreme" nature that is bound to actually happen with our incredibly advancing "powerful/intelligent" tech) and those killer intelligent machines (or what-have-you) will trump a fully animated ROCKY XXXVI movie in the context of "grabbing our undivided attention" every time

No paying actors, just animators and computer techs?

Well, even if the animation becomes "the majority/the norm" a couple decades from now, I still think not paying voice actors is a much longer time off.

Personally? I look forward to ROCKY XXXVI with an animated take on a young Sly Stallone that is hard to tell apart from the real one. If I don't live to see that kind of tech, then I guess I can take from that, that it'll be that much more likely that I didn't live long enough to see my PC strangle me while I'm posting on the Net

^that could be said about most of the Tarzan films ever made.

That's very, very true. The closest to Burroughs was probably Greystoke, and they still didn't get his look right. Mike Henry kind of looked right, but they made the character essentially Lazenby's Bond in a loincloth.

[knight errant00]

I still want to see the Tarzan of the books on film, someday.

[Hedji]

If those bad guys think they can just waltz into Pandora and steal their Unobtanium from Tarzan, they got another think coming.

Still, it looks entertaining enough, but I am so tired of modern film trailers. That music that kicks in at 0:40 is going to sound as dated one day as the bom-chicka-wa-wa funk from the 70s.

the first 50 seconds looked good. nothing new, but I'd watch it with my kids. then Jane -blech. then it really gets dumb. i will not be seeing this movie.
