Trivia

A mobile gym was set-up on set for the benefit of Alexander Skarsgård by his trainer Magnus Lygdback. Lygdback would always have weights on hand for Skarsgard to work with between shots. Lygdback said, "This new Tarzan is very cut, very shredded. So for the shirtless shots, we want a very pumped look so Alex always likes to pump some weights before he is on". Skarsgard also used the surrounding jungle trees and terrain to do pull-ups and push-ups any chance he got as that further enhanced his on-camera look. Director David Yates said that he was astonished by Skarsgard's dedication. He said, " I have never seen an actor work so hard to get the body right. Alex worked so hard. He was constantly working out between takes to make sure he looked like the best version of Tarzan that you can imagine." See more »

Beautiful visuals & CGI bring legend to life
30 June 2016 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I wasn't sure what to expect with Tarzan. I thought it might be cheesy or the special effects would look ridiculous, but surprisingly a majority of the time, it looked really good! Do you have to suspend disbelief sometimes? Absolutely. But it's a story about a man who controls jungle animals and swings from vines, so its going to look unbelievable at points. However, I found a good chunk (about 85% IMO) relied on realistic scenery, makeup and special effects. I mean... they're not going to use real gorillas or lions with the actors, but the CGI ones looked really good and will have you mesmerized by the detail. Personally found the movie very enjoyable, action packed and beautiful to watch. The director and actors did a phenomenal job. I found myself glued to the screen for a majority of the film.
