Went saw an early showing today. Gotta say, best movie of the early year so far. Quite enjoyable.

I went in with low expectations and was pleased with what I saw. Dragged a little at times, but good overall.

Don't look for a sequel, this movie bombed BAD.

It's not even going to finish #1 at the box office.

I'm just going to pretend that no one tried to make the connection between ERB and Lucas b/c you're far off if you did.
Lucas was influenced by Buck Rogers not JCfM.
That's all I'm going to say before I get into an argument and show someone up because I own alllllllllll of almost of Lucas's and ERB's works. By all means try me.
Btw I have a few 1st edition Tarzan's starting with
"of the Apes."

I thought the movie was good, not great. I have never read the Burroughs works, but the movie did a good enough job to pique my interest in reading them. I also thought the movie excelled in adapting 100 year old sci fi concepts to today.
On the surface the movie is a pretty simple literary topos of the loner resisting some higher cause, but the way the plot was presented actually gave it more depth then expected, and I wish it could have been explored further (perhaps why I want to pick up the books).
The most bothersome part of the movie was the character of Dejah, played by Lynn Collins. Either her role was written very poorly or she is an incredibly bad actress, although easy on the eyes.

You're not the first person I heard say this. Apparently it is surprising people.

Is it better than Coach Carter?

Finally watched this on Starz On Demand.
I don't get the hatred. It was not Schindler's List, but it wasn't trying to be. It was a good, entertaining movie. Too bad it got shite all over.
