The CGI effects today are amazing, but they're so overdone (most of the time). For the first time in a long time, I was actually on the edge of my seat during a movie.
There are certain techniques that obviously stem from the silent movie days. Yes, the special effects and interweaving of the stock footage looks a bit dated, but remember that this film was only made three years after the first "talkie" (i.e. This first installment in the MGM Tarzan movies delivers big time. This movie made me feel like a young boy, craving excitement and adventure.
I just recently checked out the DVD from my local library, and I was amazed to discover what I had been missing all these years.
I'm sure I saw bits and pieces of "Tarzan, the Ape Man" on television when I was a kid, but I never really paid much attention to it.
