Re: The Legend of Tarzan - Official Teaser Trailer
I like it. It looks like they're taking Tarzan back to his roots of a thin veneer of civilization over a savage, primal heart.
Fun fact: The trailer music is the same music from Halo: Forward Unto Dawn when Lasky acts as a decoy to allow Master Chief to get his sneak attack in.

Re: The Legend of Tarzan - Official Teaser Trailer
I'm cautiously optimistic about this movie. I've read every one of Burroughs' Tarzan novels, and can definitively say that none of the movies made to date have even come close, including Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984). I'm not expecting this one to break that pattern, but I'm hoping that it, at least, won't be as ridiculous as most of the Tarzan movies I've seen.

It looks good. Hoping they move away from the kiddy style movie and cater this one to adults.

Tarzan, Legend of the Ape Man was one of the original dark/gritty stories...

I invite you to go read Edgar Rice Burroughs' original stories. They aren't suited for kids.

Also, I have to say that I loved the Tarzan Yell in the trailer. That primal, guttural yell is more suited to someone who has lived his entire life in the jungle.

Yeah, apparently I have a good ear for music (at least according to a lot of people I know), so I recognized it immediately.

That might be a post-return to civilization Tarzan, where he returns to the jungle.

Re: The Legend of Tarzan - Official Teaser Trailer
Greystoke was one of the few movies that was reasonably faithful to Burroughs' first two Tarzan novels, so if this movie had also been based on those novels there would be some similarities. Based on the plot summary that doesn't appear to be the case, but they might have cherry-picked certain elements from the novels for this movie.

I prefer "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan":
"Ra-zor! Ra-zor!"
"Fam-I-ly!! Fam-I-ly!!"

Re: The Legend of Tarzan - Official Teaser Trailer
Yeah, it will be pretty hard to top Greystoke. For me, that's my definitive Tarzan movie.
Just from that trailor, it looks like the swinging is going to be over the top. I didn't really get a good look at the guy playing Tarzan, I hope he is not too buff. I liked that Christopher Lambert was more lithe than bulky.

Tarzan/John Clayton is played by Alexander Skarsgård. He's more muscular in this than Christopher Lambert was in Greystoke, but still fairly lean; more like a gymnast than a bodybuilder.

"John Carter of Skull Island"
I think it looks like it could be very good though...
