    Product Description
    In 1886 following a ship wreck off the west coast of africa an infant child became part of a family of apes who raised and protected him. As he grew he learned the laws of the jungle and eventually claimed the title lord of the apes. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Christopher Lambert Ralph Richardson Run time: 143 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Hugh Hudson

    Amazon.com
    One of those legendary missed opportunities, Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes is a movie that should have been great but wound up the victim of conflicting egos and wrong-headed choices. Based on a screenplay by Robert Towne (who took his name off it when he wasn't allowed to direct) and directed by Hugh Hudson (riding high on the basis of Chariots of Fire), the film tried to rethink the Tarzan legend of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and boy, did it have to: By casting French-accented Christopher Lambert as Tarzan, the filmmakers had to transform his white-hunter mentor Ian Holm into a Frenchman to explain those inflections in Tarzan's monosyllabic speech. The film has some amazing jungle footage and a truly touching relationship between Tarzan and the apes--but it gets pretty silly when Tarzan gets to London and hooks up with Sir Ralph Richardson, as his grandfather. --Marshall Fine

    4 out of 5 stars Razor...mirror...   June 17, 2009
    Chad Taylor (El Cajon, CA United States)
    These are the first two words that John Clayton (Lambert) learns from the severely injured Capitaine D'Arnot (Holm) and both echo the worlds he finds himself; first in the jungle and then in England, each of these two worlds reflecting a merciless and dangerous nature. His loss of family: his ape mother and the banishment of his ape father, then coming to grips with his humanness, his life in England, society's inhumanity and again experiencing loss of family at the death of his grandfather gradually shapes his understanding. For me what is most telling is Tarzan's encounter of the slaughtered and stuffed apes at the Darwinism museum along with finding imprisoned there his Ape father who cared for him and then in releasing him to see how "Civilization" treats this creature he knew and loved. I wish here Lambert would have been given more English lines than resorting to animal mimicry to express his anger to Sir Evelyn (Wells) as it would seem more logical to express his frustration in a tongue that society would have understood and how that society is not much different and perhaps even more jungle-like than the real jungle. I would have loved to have seen a sequel with Lambert and MacDowell living part of the time at their jungle estate and part of the time at Greystoke Manor, along with son Jack who would eventually call himself Korak, but perhaps the film was better left as a single entry into the Tarzan saga.

    I saw this movie when I was in junior high and thought I would share it with my children. I thought it was going to be difficult to find it. I found the movie so quick at Amazon. I am also very satisfied with the quality of the movie. THANK YOU, AMAZON.COM

    Enjoyed every rendition of the story of Tarzan. Greystoke is beautifully filmed and very well acted, most enjoyable. Have seen it many times, still fresh as the first time. Excellent for every audience.

    this item was another Christmas gift for my husband. It was also one of the many movies he had on his need list. This movie isn't really my type of movie but other people would probably enjoy it. Working with amazon was easy and simple and the item arrived in plenty of time.
