Spectacular visual effects, amazing performances of the voice cast (and Sethi, of course), good direction of Favreau and magic fidelity to the animated film. It's a wonderful movie.

The animals do not look artificial and express emotion like humans. The performances are great, specially Lupita Nyong'o who express so strong maternity in her speech. The only problem in The Jungle Book is the musical elements that are inserted in a forced way, and makes the movie lose its propose of being a serious or a musical movie.… Expand

The Jungle Book, directed by Jon Favreau and written by Justin Marks was an outstanding film with it's compelling storyline to it's marvelous use of CGI. This is probably one of the best looking films I've ever seen -- below The recent PlanetThe Jungle Book, directed by Jon Favreau and written by Justin Marks was an outstanding film with it's compelling storyline to it's marvelous use of CGI. This is probably one of the best looking films I've ever seen -- below The recent Planet of the Aps films and the Star Wars films. I read recently that they've used the entire set in one location and that no actaully forests were used during the procces of development. This -- to me -- is brilliant because it'll show inspiring directors that you don't always have to travel much to find that perfect location for that perfect scene. Speaking of directing, Jon Favreau made a humungous turn-around from Iron Man 2 and Cowboys & Aliens. He basically did the impossible as he is a CGI maniac with his films.

The only problem I have with this film is the lead actor: Neel Sethi. His acting was kind-of stale; which is understandable since this is his first time on the job. He didn't seem to know what he was doing since the entire duration of the movie was a big bowl of CGI.

I do recommend you guys watching The Jungle Book. Maybe take your kids on a nice sunny day, they'll defiantly enjoy it and so will you!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm just gonna start by saying I grew up with the original animated feature, which did have it's flaws and definitely wasn't faithful to Rudyard Kipling's original story, but I still liked it a lot. As for this movie though, I'll start with the positives. The film does look amazing and surprisingly realistic! Even though it is obviously CGI and at moments can look kind of fake, but on the whole you could swear the movie was shot in a real jungle. And I also like most of the actors they got to portray the cast, most notably John Goodman as Baloo, Ben Kingsley as Bagheera, and especially Christopher Walken as King Louie. The only one I didn't really feel was Scarlet Johansson as Kaa, but aside from her I feel like they all bring their own unique charm to these classic characters. With that said, the movie as a whole I thought was just okay as there are some problems that hold me back from considering it great. For one, there are just some things that don't make sense, like how come the elephants can't speak when every other animal can? Mowgli brings up briefly how every animal has a "language", but then apparently that means wolves, panthers, AND bears can all speak the same language? And also I thought the ending was kind of a cop-out. The original movie ended with Mowgli and the animals going their separate ways, as that was what was best. Here, Mowgli just ends up staying in the jungle and all the animals are cool with it now. Plus, the scene where Baloo is intentionally mean to Mowgli to convince him to leave felt kind of forced. On the whole though, it's not the worst movie ever or anything like that, and I won't hold it against anyone if they think it's a masterpiece. For me personally, I simply thought it was okay, and I definitely prefer the original movie that was fully animated... But maybe that's just my nostalgia talking.… Expand

While on the outside it looks impressive with lush dense environments and believable animals it is rooted inconsistency. One minute it is happy loving tribute to the 1967 classic and then next it is a dark and realistic story based on Kipling’s film. The two elements never mesh well and cause inconsistencies as characters act one way one minute and another the next without it every feeling seemless. Over the two sides the playful homage is preferred with familiar songs, a familiar soundtrack, and voices that capture the spirit of the original characters. Unfortunately, all that is lost as likeable characters are made unlikeable, the threatening made unthreating, and a cobbled messed. With the new film having little to offer outside of visual spectacle, you are better off just sticking to the 1967 bear neccessities.… Expand

The Jungle Book is a live action version of Disney's fondly remembered animated movie that follows "man-cub" Mowgli as he is hunted by the tiger Shere Khan.

Despite a slightly darker tone, particularly in its depiction of characters such as King Louie and Kaa, the movie sticks relatively close to the plot of the animated version from the 60's. The CGI is, for the most part, very impressive and along with the excellent voice cast that includes Idris Elba, Bill Murray and Ben Kingsley it really helps bring the much loved characters to life. Neel Seethi, essentially the only "real" person in the entire movie, is also very good as Mowgli and I'd expect to see him on our screens again very soon. In sticking so close to the plot of the animated version the movie does lack any real surprises and it never quite packs the emotional punch it perhaps could have but overall this is a well-made, and pretty entertaining, modern update of the classic tale.… Expand

Cons:

Forced nostalgia. The movie would have been better served by omitting some of the nostalgia and keeping the themes/feel of the movie more consistent.
Disappointing final fight scene. Can't explain more without including spoilers.
Illogical resolution. The ending seemed forced, and the characters did not seem consistent at the end of the film.… Expand

6.5/10 but rounded it up since Metacritic doesn't allow half points.

This movie surprised me, I'll admit it. I was definitely ready to hate this movie as it's trailer made it seem like it was just another heartless Disney cash in on6.5/10 but rounded it up since Metacritic doesn't allow half points.

This movie surprised me, I'll admit it. I was definitely ready to hate this movie as it's trailer made it seem like it was just another heartless Disney cash in on another timeless animated classic like some OTHER remakes they made. I was excited to see how they used Scarlett Jo as Kaa and how the movie would potentially mess up my childhood. I got the invert of what I was expecting. The movie lends itself to a rather enjoyable flick that I would watch again, but it's not exactly what I would define as good per se.

STORY:The story for the most part holds itself faithful to the original animated classic, but in some areas a little TOO faithful, certain parts of the movie feel very forced and jammed in there, and take away from the overall experience a little. In the other parts where it isn't exactly faithful it expounds upon, giving just a wee bit more depth to the original. Then there are some rather disappointing parts (MINOR SPOILER) such as the complete under utilization of Kaa, not to mention the unoriginal use of Kaa against what Kaa actually was yet again as opposed to the book that the movie was based off of(END SPOILER) Other than that and some boring and illogical parts and a somewhat anticlimactic ending, it holds its own.

VISUALS: Eh, I'm still waiting for the movie that manages to have CGI that doesn't look like it came from 2002 You'd think CGI would have improved more than this. Lackluster animals look, well, lackluster, but such is the world of CGI at least in this one they manage to be expressive, which is more than I can say for the lone human character, Mowgli, but I'll give him a break seeing he's a kid. The rest of the visuals manage to be decent, with a nice jungle aesthetic that looks okay, but nothing mind blowing.

Music: The music does its job, but the only part of it that really sticks for me is the Scarlett Johansson rendition of Kaa's "trust in me" song that only appears at the credits (if I remember correctly) the other renditions of the originals songs are either forced or just adequate.

You wont be wasting your money if you go see it, but if there is a better movie available, you might want to consider if you should watch that one.… Expand

The red flower adventure!

The Rudyard Kipling's famous children's book was adapted numerous times for stage shows, television series, live-shot and animation films, and now here's the modern version and also the first digital 3D version. The Disney done it again bring all the classics to a new life, but it is a great team work, especially the post-production was terrific.

It is one of those stories never gets boring for repeat reading/listening/viewing. Of course, there were plenty of changes to the original source, but I would say it was upgraded so well. Jon Favreau did an awesome job as the director, definitely it is his one of the best films and will be remembered for very long. All the above he got the best screenplay with supportive production and crew.

Neel Sethi was obviously a perfect choice for the man-cub, he had given his best and no one could doubt it was his first film. The entire film was shot in the studio settings and the whole time he had to act alone, because the remaining characters in the film are CGI. So in that viewpoint he actually did a breathtaking job being a very young.

The CGI characters were really excellent, but the non-fur animals like elephant looked a bit fake. I mean anatomically and character performances were perfect, only visually the 3D models were out of the blend in the screen with others. These are very small things to notice, but for the todays technology, it was not bad, especially thinking the film is primarily targeted children.

The story was simple, like half of the film was an introduction and almost all the important characters from the book were launched at a high profile. It was actually the story with a backdrop of red flower. So the narration moves different part of the jungle, lot like the levels in a game. Various adventures take place and well composed stunt sequences.

I mentioned stunts right, but there were no violences, I mean nothing seriously to concern about as expected for a Disney film. Yet because of those actions, the film is very much suitable for adult viewing. So apart from the children and families, it can be watched by anyone. One of the top Disney films to do best at the box office worldwide by grabbing almost $1b.

So aggressive, furious Shere Khan ever to portray. I think the little children may get scared for his unpleasant face look and the strong roar. By the way all the songs were amazing and the end credit was very interesting. Finally, I saw it after a long wait and anticipation, most importantly, I'm very happy how beautifully it was made.

The film was not shot in India, but the locations were so resembling and gives the perfect Indian feel. Climbing a cliff by Baloo and fighting the monkeys, like that there were numerous jokes. Surely one of the grandly made children's film at the recent time. I've heard the sequel is already on the progress, so bring it on, at least a trilogy before Neel turn to a big boy.

-Un beau film qui prend pour représentation le livre de la jungle, mais qui se propose comme un film seul, comme si rien n’avait été fait avant lui. J'ai cherché les clins d’œil à l'oeuvre originale de 1967 et je n'est pas trouvé même la voit du serpent à changer de sexe et c'est transformé en femme psychopathe (peux être une vision de la femme manipulatrice qui est peux être la femme du réalisateur ou autre, si telle est le clin d’œil il n'est pas bien venu... enfin je divague un peut). Surtout à destination des enfants cette scène reste quand mémé sans humour. Les blagues ne sont pas très nombreuses, j'ai moins ri que dans les souvenirs que j'ai du moment ou j'ai vu Mowgli à la Télévision cathodique sur cassette. Heureusement que Balou est présent . Peux être que ce n'est seulement qu'un film plus mature après tout, mais alors quelle est le public.... Enfant, adulte ... ? Ou peux être moi qui n'ai pas compris.
-Les acteurs et doubleurs sont convaincants même le petit. Encore petit pour être parfait. Par contre la voix d'Eddy Mitchell est sublime et fait passé les autres doubleurs pour des feuilles si fines qu'on ne souhaite plus les entendre.
Pour les musiques mises à part les 3 principales qui ne sont pas si folles... le reste n'est que peux convaincant; basé sur du déjà entendu. Il est sûr que j'oublierai cette BO comparée à celle de 1967.
-Les paysage sont beaux les animaux très bien réalisé ;)
-Je tiens quand même à signaler que la 3D n'est pas inutile, mais que le Dolby Atmos on aurait pu s'en passer vu le temps qu'il est utilisé et mis en avant ;)
-Si vous aimé foret et animaux alors oui le cinéma est la bonne destination!… Expand

Hopefully the inevitable storm of live-action Disney remakes that follow it will have the same grace and inspired storytelling that makes Favreau's Jungle Book better than the original.

The Jungle Book is a completely average movie yet, because this is made by the "gods" known as Disney it gets spammed with 10/10 Reviews on this website. As for the film I'd certainly give it a point for some of the creature design. HoweverThe Jungle Book is a completely average movie yet, because this is made by the "gods" known as Disney it gets spammed with 10/10 Reviews on this website. As for the film I'd certainly give it a point for some of the creature design. However whenever Baghreea specifically talks it freaks me out because of how uncanny his movements are. People are also praising Mowgli's actor for some reason even though he sucked. As for the sequence of events it's completely predictable. As soon as they would introduce a scene you could tell how it would end. As for the Music it was okay. The problem was it appeared 2 times in the film. I must admit I liked both songs even without seeing the original. As per usual with these types of movies the cast is a cast of all celebrities and, one new guy isn't that surprising. The problem is they aren't playing human characters and, whenever these animals talk they just sound like the actors. Who wants to talk about the scene with Scarlett Johansen? I know I do! This scene is really creepy because Scarlett often uses certain elements of her body (her **** to enhance her performances. After seeing movies like Under the Skin where this works it really ruins the experience to know this actress normally does "sexy" performances. It seems very creepy that she is doing this to a Young Boy. That's more of a personal preference but, I feel it's still worth mentioning. Anyways, that's about all I have to say about this movie and, how average it is.… Expand

It is an absolute jewel when it comes to CGI, loved it ... the musicals where bad. And it ends too abruptly.

This movie has a mostly great cast, that it completely wastes. The film somewhat mercifully, considering the quality of the ones still in there, sheds most musical portions morphing into a poorly done adventure film.

I was one of those kids. The plot is the same: Mogli, an orphan boy, found in the Indian jungle by a panther and raised by wolves, has to flee from the threats of Shere Khan, a Bengal tiger who hates humans and vowed to kill him. The great difference of this film, however, is the use of a lot of CGI features, first quality, that give it an enormous realism and visual beauty. Its a visual spectacle, with excellent cinematography, beautiful and vibrant colors, good contrast, pleasant light and depth. We could even believe that those animals could exist. Some are beautiful (the wolf mother, the panther), others are funny (the bear, the porcupine), others are cute (wolf cubs), the snake mixes well seduction and fear, the king of Monkeys impress us by his size and the tiger is truly terrifying. Much of the film reproduces famous scenes of its worthy predecessor, in what we consider to be a worthy homage. The most iconic songs have also been kept here ("Bare Necessities" or "I Want to Be Like You"). Voice actors are well known to the public (Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley and Scarlett Johansson, just to name three of them) and do an unblemished job. So, I believe I can say that this film is one of the most interesting creations that this studio created during this decade. Truly worthy of the Walt Disney legacy.… Expand

With sweeping visual effects and a very believable adaptation of the 1967 film version, the film delivers a splendid and fantastic result, from young Neel Sathi's acting to Ben Kingsley's impeccable voice acting, Christopher Walken, Scarlett Johansson (whose character might have appeared more), Giancarlo Esposito (oddly unreleased in the trailers as other members of the cast), Idris Elba (in the voice of one of the best villains of the 2016 films), Bill Murray (a great Baloo), among others. The only thing to regret is the fact that the film is still far from the original work of Rudyard Kipling. But at least the film alone is great and worthy of the success it has made.… Expand

All the proof I needed to just how excruciating live remakes can be. The cgi is good but how it decides to tell it's story isn't.

Un asqueroso remake que no tiene nada que ver con la original. Mejor se hubieran traído a los cuervos que en esta no están.

Начну с хорошего. Графика и анимация в фильме на высоте. Сюжет, ну для 12 летнего ребенка, даже ничего.
Теперь о страшном. В фильме, пантера Багира это мужик-трансвестит, который может рожать котят!!! А Каа, это женщина......!!!

An All-star cast reprise the roles made famous in the original animated motion picture. An endearing story of bravery amidst a world full of danger at every turn. Segregation and isolation leads young Mowgli on path of discovery after being forced to fend for himself. Fantastic visuals and an unbridled charm make The Jungle Book a joyful experience to be had.… Expand

Of all the live action remakes, this arguably the pick of the lot. You could even make a case this better than the original animated movie.
Clever CGI, entertaining action scenes and a touching story makes for a good movie.
