The new trailer for Batman V. Superman was pretty fun, I loved the Wonder Woman intro.

This definitely looks promising. Same here, I don't think there's a thing he wrote that I didn't enjoy, and promising is definitely how I'd put it as well. I think it gets points in my mind just for focusing of the "civilized" aspects of the story, which seldom make it to the screen. |

I like the trailer for TARZAN and it's a keeper and it's on my list of films to see in 2016.

And I feel he was progressively phoning it in in the later years. Probably the only one of his early books I don't like is The Eternal Savage which I finally slogged through a re-read of recently. |

Ok that was pretty amazing, much better the snowstorm on black! I kind of despair of a good modern Burroughs movie after several lame Tarzan movies and the JohnCarter disappoitment, but this, this has my hopes up. -M |

I really liked John Carter, and the last couple of Tarzan films(especially Greystoke) were pretty decent although they were three decades ago.

I thought the much-maligned Christopher Lambert was outstanding in it, and there are scenes that have stayed with me ever since - when the new-to-civilisation Greystoke finds a brief affinity with the controlled, socially approved savagery of the Highlanders' dancing and screaming (as it seems to him), for example; and of course and especially the scene where his great-ape foster-mother dies, which was considered laughably mawkish and grotesque by small-minded critics, but I found almost unbearably moving. I haven't seen it again since it came out, so these are my impressions from memory, but based on those memories, maybe the best Tarzan movie ever made, for me. |

That new Tarzan looks awesome. Been too long since Tarzan has hit the big screen.

I found both the death of his mother and the death of Kercheck at the end to be really well done, and I've always liked the opening with the apes. Intellectually you know it's people in ape suits but the puppetry was really well done that it was easy to form an emotional attachment to them. |

I had the day off, so I hit up a matinee showing of Creed. By far my favorite movie of the year (so far). Nothing else even comes close.
