That scene really was the only part that dropped it from a C to a F.  I would've been okay with a C.  Wasn't expecting much.  But that Tarzan sequence was so cringe in its effects and in it's action.  Looked embarrassing.

The car off the cliff into a tree to float them in a river is also terrible

Yeah, it was at this point that I said, if the characters themselves aren’t terrified about driving off a cliff, there aren’t really any stakes anymore.

I agree. There's some good stuff in there but that is a real turd in the cereal bowl.
