Greystoke - The Legend of Tarzan

[ravenus]

I saw this movie recently and though I have misgivings with the latter half of the film, it does have quite a bit of attraction to it.

My own thoughts of it in detail I have put in a review here

It'd be good to hear other people's opinions

 

[Highlander II]

I have this movie b/c I'm a big Christopher Lambert fan, and it's an enjoyable film. Parts are a little dull, but overall, it's not bad.

It's been a while since I've seen it though.

I remember it following the novel much more completely than any other version. It was a reasonably good film.

Thought it was a pretty decent film. Am also keen on Christopher Lambert's work and this movie takes the trouble to follow the book quite well. A better effort than many others.

Gosh it has been quite awhile since I saw this movie. I did enjoy it though. I have always liked Christopher Lambert (although I wish he would speak up a bit more, his voice is very soft, even when he is angry) Probably preferred him in Highlander!

 

[Highlander II]

I'm not sure Chris knew much English in this movie. I've heard that "Highlander" was his first fully English speaking role, b/c me only spoke French before that. I know that when the directors / PTB for "Highlander" met Chris for the first time, they didn't realize he only spoke French, so he had to learn English for their film. I figure "Greystoke" was mostly him 'mimicking' words.

But yes, he does have a quiet voice. At least he doesn't mutter the whole time like Heath Ledger in "Brokeback Mountain" - ugh that was annoying.

I'd also heard that in "Greystoke" they dubbed Glen Close's voice over Andie MacDowell's... which is kind of odd.
