The clips were funny but he doesn't seem happy in the photo call pics. I thought it might be because of the sun but everyone else of the team and cast is smiling. Maybe he is just tired because he has been traveling constantly, I don't know. Thanks @Santress for the lovely pic of Margot and Christoph.
Apologies if this has already been posted. I've been running around like mad last week and not online much. I like MovieFone's summary on "Here's Why Tarzan Beat Expectations at the Box Office". I've believed from the beginning, if done correctly, Tarzan could be a fun watch (if not Picture of the Year caliber), and not to immediately write it off as a flop.

I've seen it twice now. Once with husband, and another with a friend who really wanted to see it too... So why not?
Both times, many people exiting had favorable opinions of Tarzan with "good movie", "liked/loved it", "lots better than I expected", etc.
The biggest negative thing I think some critics and some viewers had in their minds going in to Tarzan, was their preconceived notions of what Tarzan should be. His appearance. His iconic yell. The feminist thing. The white savior issue. All in all, I think these issues were handled pretty darn well. If I had a complaint, it would be that I'd have liked a bit more supporting character sub plot development. I was interested in knowing more about Rom, the exploitation of the Congo, and the African tribal leader who set up the scenario to lure Tarzan back to the jungle. The plot/story was there and was understood tho.

Thanks @OHVamp for your post. I read so many reviews yesterday, I'm even more confused now. I can't believe that I have to wait until the end of July to see the movie.
I have hopes Tarzan will fair decent financially once the world box office is added. The biggest financial obstacle to overcome is the huge CGI expense imo. Quite a few CGI heavy movies fail to deliver in payback. The fact that viewers appear to be saying it's worth watching is a good sign the movie is worth seeing. Hope you enjoy it.
