I MISS the TOTAL hysterical comedy writing of Season1 and 2. I've seen all 1-4 seasons twice. Season 3 was not nearly as fun or funny - the attempts were not CLEVER nor was the writing as engaging as the writing in the first 2 seasons. I had high hopes for Season 4 on Netflix. But NO -Season 4 was even worse - everything was VERY dark and serious and the fun was just not there . REALLY - RE-HIRE the original writers from Season 1 and 2 - for Season 5. It would be wonderful to end on that same comedic lightness that was always so hysterical and fun from Season 1 and 2. I looked up the writers on Wikipedia - and sadly - it seems those who put the fun in the scripts - the original writers - now seem to be gone. Seasons 3 and 4 were not nearly as good. PLEASE - for Season 5 - re-hire the REALLY GREAT original writers from first 2 seasons! The best of those writers were SO good for a fun story line and always made us laugh within the story line - usually in expected ways! Make Season 5 as fun as the first 2 seasons. That would be a GREAT way to end Lucifer- on a high note. I never thought Jerry Bruckheimer would let something that was so good and different slip into banality.

This film is TERRIFIC! The screenplay is cleverly well done and complicated enough to make you want to see it again - to figure out what you might have missed. The action is almost non-stop - but not overdone (to me). We felt all the actors were well cast and did a fine job - grumblers must just have to nit about SOMETHING. We ended up seeing this movie twice on our own. We thought it was so good, we saw it a third time with friends (to entice them to watch it) - and enjoyed it once again (this from someone who only wants to repeat watching a movie after at least 7 years - if ever). I haven't heard of anyone who enjoys having a movie that makes you think about it and discuss it a bit afterward who didn't find it a thoroughly entertaining and WELL SCRIPTED movie.

I had no expectations of this movie - don't even recall seeing a trailer. My husband wanted to see it - so we did (not in 3D). I was mesmerized! I thought it was incredible how real every animal scene was - will have to find out how they did this. The story was just fantastic. The scenery was spectacular - to me a must-see on the big screen. This Tarzan version was the best one I've ever seen (think I've seen them all) and apparently very true to the original story (nope - never read it - will now). It was captivating. The actors were excellent. I was completely enthralled and at the end - I didn't want it to be over. It reminded me of the thrill of the good old days of going to the Saturday afternoon movies growing up (I know - most of you will never know the fun of the simpler times :-). I was easily impressed then - not so much so today - with so MANY incredible movies. Tarzan is action-packed and REALLY entertaining. I had to go right home and tell family and friends to go see it before it is out of theaters! I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed.
