I didn't find it boring at all.  Admittedly it wasn't an "action-packed,
fun-filled" film, but I found it interesting and even somewhat entertaining.
I was particularly intrigued by how realistic the apes behaved -- just like in
those documentaries you see by the people who live out in the jungle studying
the apes in their "natural habitats."  "Touching" is how I would characterize
the movie in one word, if I had to.  (The unintended pun is, however, fairly
accurate in both of its meanings.)

I can't comment on how true the film was to the books, but I will say that
it has more "content" than the old Tarzan movies (incl. the latest).  But I
would definitely agree it's not an "adventure film."
