Everything that Jungle Book could have been if it hadn't just been a remake of the animated feature. Really enjoyed this!

I gave a ten it was refreshing. I hated both of Disney’s versions. The young man was an excellent actor. It may have seemed short but it held my interest. I am pleased there were no corny songs, thank God!

Despite weak cgi for some of the animals. I don’t see why critics didn’t like this version as much as the 2016 film. It’s darker but more faithful to the book.

Critics make it sound like it loses focus of the story a lot when Mowgli is in the man village. I think the film is pretty solid and under-rated though. Mowgli learns to feel at home in the man village but has to choose between that and the jungle. So the film doesn’t lose track of the stories heart at all. Unlike what Rotten Tomatoes says. Just don’t put it on for your kids. It has no problem being overly detailed with animal deaths. Otherwise I’d probably review it higher. One death scarred me too much though.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never a dull moment in this film. Action packed with amazing visuals and an interesting storyline. The actor who played Mowgli deserves an 'Oscar' for his performance. Family-friendly whilst being a bit more gorey than the Disney version but deserves good reviews. 9/10, brilliant/… Expand

Welcome to the jungle, for a version more sharp and dark than Disney. Actually, Kipling´s book was not conceived as fairy tale. The dillema of main characters of what is his right place in the world has it´s appeal. Kids U8 requires guardian.
