The photorealistic approach is a double-edged sword because while it is often technically outstanding, a couple things are problematic: 1) In striving for photorealism, there's little in the way of charm or stylistic flair; and 2) It often veers into uncanny valley territory, seeing how the technology is close, but not quite close enough. Another gripe: It lacks the sweetness and lollygagging that made the 1967 adaptation so enjoyable. This is dark, intense, and serious. Not bad, but not great.

Yes, casting is perfect, visauls are awesome, but I don't like the inherent message. Man's tricks will always and only benefit mankind, he can't defeat the tiger, which I believe is the true protagonist of the story, without burning down the forest. What? The cat was right from the get go.

The musical references mostly don't work at all. The "I Wanna Be Like You" number feels totally out of place in an otherwise intimidating scene, and Christopher Walken's hooting and mooing performance of the song is horrifying. The token use of "Bear Necessities" is more naturally implemented, but the similarly terrible "singing" by Bill Murray and child lead Neel Sethi ruin the moment.

Sure this movie was fine, but I want to tell a story. I saw this in the middle of a day during something called "Stars and Strollers". Basically, my local theater plays a kid's movie specially for mothers and nannies who are taking care of babies. As expected, the kids were pretty noisy, but that didn't affect me. Except for one kid. He was maybe 18 months and he would scream into a water bottle every so often &, I shit you not, it sounded like a tiger growling EVERY time he did. Terrifying.

Eerily synthetic and detached despite all the charismatic voice talents (I'm guessing the soundfiles will be put to work at Disneyland eventually). By making Mowgli the only 'real' on-screen character it demanded far too much of the child actor and you can just sense the emptiness around him. I did enjoy the absurd King Louis scene for having the most out of place "I feel a song coming on" moment I've ever seen.

Disappointingly boring and unoriginal. The acting is all good but feels disjointed and unconnected. The visual effects are strong, but the talking falls into some area of the uncanny valley I can't put my finger on. Neel Sethi is a bottomless pit of bad acting. The best song in the movie is in the credits. My immediate reaction after it ended was "I wish I watched the animated film instead." Sorry guys, Cinderella worked; this failed.

The film would have been far better without Mowgli, as he showed no growth or development beyond being the catalyst for the movement of the simple plot and I hurt every time he opened his mouth to whine through his lines. The film looked lovely and the voice cast was mostly excellent: qualities that made it worth watching. Side note: the film bears almost essentially no resemblance to the source material.

The Jungle Book is an enjoyable live action re-telling of the much loved Disney animated classic. I have long been skeptical about this adaption but credit to John Favreau for bringing this story to life with impressive and seamlessly believable special effects. The pacing on occasion can fall into feeling episodic and certain characters didn't necessarily serve the story. But Neel Sethi is absolutely wonderful as Mowgli and Bill Murray, Idriss Elba & Ben Kingsley all add stellar voice work.

The special effects are undeniably spectacular, and the voice cast is pretty great, too. In fact, the movie looks and sounds so good that it almost makes up for some seriously slack pacing--and, of course, that whole story about the happy little jungle boy who causes a bunch of animals to get killed and almost burns a whole forest down.

The algorithm that auto-generated my movie must have been glitching: it looked like Jungle Book but felt like Lion King (among other notables, a shot-for-shot climax), and sounded like King of New York. Needed at least 150 more people error-correcting the code.

This is good. The Jungle Book is carried with it's characters and good CGI. The young child was great. I did find him to be annoying in a couple of spots though. Loved the voice acting choices. They also did a great job of making Sheer-Khan look terrifying. I give this whole movie credit. Good story and directing. Only complaint I have is that there should have been more music. Other than that, it's probably the most solid way to do a remake. Worth watching.

So much talent is wasted, it's only Christopher Walken who stands out at all. This version tries to have it both ways with the jaunty sing-song side of things and the darker serious tone, but doesn't come down on either memorably (besides the aforementioned giant orang-utan slash Colonel Kurtz).

Certainly the original is a wonderful and nostalgic film in its own right, but Favreau's remake is just as nice. Jungle Book takes you down a nostalgic path with all the great characters (and the best songs as well), while introducing great voice talent and fabulous effects to his production. The story is simple, but that's not a bad thing for this type of film. It won't win any awards, but I think I'll be remembering Jungle Book for a while.

As timeless as the animated classic is, this is better. Mainly because the changes to a number of strange characters in the original, such as the flamboyantly gay Kaa, the immediately-dated Beatles reference vultures, or the Mowgli-seducing 10-year-old Indian girl. Actually, it's where this relies heavily on the previous version that it struggles. While it's enjoyable to hear Walken and Murray bleating out the original's show-stoppers, it feels pretty out of place in this photorealistic remake.

Nothing more than an uninspired retread that exists purely to feed on people's nostalgia. It's not terrible, but it is pretty boring and the celebrity stunt casting is distracting as all hell.

The special effects are fantastic, the villain is satisfyingly formidable and the darker elements of this version are well-measured. However, the story progression is episodic and stunted, with some characters (namely Kaa and King Louie) relegated to having no real bearing on the narrative, included only to remain in keeping with the Disney original. Unfortunately the songs don't really work at all either. Most importantly though, it's engaging and fun, so it does its job.

I saw this movie in theaters simply because all the other movies seemed like worse options, but was pleasantly surprised by it. Obviously the story is still idiotic, because - as Herzog so eloquently put it - nature is vile and base and thus: no, animals do not form peace treaties. Also, they have no interest whatsoever in helping out a boy that is moronic enough to put their habitat on fire. However, I was impressed by the CGI and the film as a whole felt very lively.

This is not only a good film in its own right, but one that holds a candle to, complements and in some ways surpasses the original. The visuals in this are incredible - the biggest leap since Avatar - but in this case has a story to match that will stand the test of time. It follows the original tale somewhat closely with enough differences that there is genuine tension in everything that happens. It's perfectly cast as well. Must see.

I was really happy to see how much I didn't hate this movie. I thought the kid was near perfect for the role. I expected more as I kept hearing how good it was, but something in the back of my mind kept telling me that it was going to be shit. Billoo Murray was great though. The movie was fun, the 3d was good, the environments were great to look at and the tiger was imposing. Thank you for making this movie not suck Jon Favreau.

Disney may be accounting for half of the film industry's profits these days, but it's difficult to fault them when they keep giving talented directors their own multimillion dollar playgrounds to create in. Favreau's jungle is a character itself: expansive and teeming with life. Perhaps the biggest area this film pales in comparison to the animated version is with Shere Khan. Where he was once calculating sophistication hiding terrifying brutality, now he's just a simple monster.

It's hard to fault a film that borrows so heavily from the beloved animated classic that it was sourced from. The CGI is undeniably great. Kingsley, Murray and Elba's voice performances are perfect for their characters, and Sethi does a fine job as Mowgli. Johansson's Kaa was underwhelming. I admire the darker tone used for the King Louis scene, but it felt out of place given that the film was heavily mirroring the original up to this point. The climax is a bit of a let down as well.

I suppose it is only natural to compare a follow-up / remake with the original, particularly when the original is so well loved, but this was amazing in just about all aspects. It must have been extremely hard to decide whether to have songs, and how much it should mirror the original, and hats off to Favreau for a simply marvellous film. I loved the mix of real dark threat and humour, and the story kept me guessing which well loved character was going to appear next. Elba & Sethi were terrific.

But just as the Mouse House did with the live-action reboot of Cinderella in 2015, this 2016 iteration of The Jungle Book delivers a rollicking, breathtaking update to a beloved story about a boy and his remarkable--unlikely--companions. (They're brought to life with computer animation.) And their adventure reinforces important themes about what it means to be family, love one another, resist temptation and sacrifice our own desires when necessary for the good of others.

More like The Uncanny Valley Book, amirite? The narrative changes introduce thematic missteps -- the tension between Shere Khan and Mowgli is transformed into dueling revenges -- and it's padded by a lot of dull CGI chases/fights. Man, having Mowgli remain in the jungle is such a crass and disrespectful departure from the original text, made worse due to the transparently commercial intentions at work: Disney just wanted to leave the door open for a sequel.

Gotta admit I'm baffled by this film's 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. I mean, it's not BAD. The CGI jungle is gorgeous, on par with Avatar, and the core voice cast (Kingsley, Murray, Elba) is perfect. But it's a weirdly lumpy, episodic and nostalgia-reliant narrative, with characters like Kaa and Louie showing up to put in their five minutes and promptly vanishing again. The actioned-up climax fails to impress, and the ending scene lacks any of the thought-provoking mystery of the original.

I really can't say what justifies remaking this. The classic is a million times better, and this doesn't do anything new other than impressive visual effects which on their own are worth nothing. I don't particularly like criticizing child actors but Neel Sethi is so unconvincing that it very nearly ruined the film for me on its own. Left me with nothing other than a desire to watch the original.

This movie taught me the true meaning of the Uncanny Valley. Whenever one of the animals was talking, I felt physically repulsed in my stomach and a voice in my head started shouting "Kill it with fire!". Trying to go for a photorealistic look seems extremely wrong and misguided to me. On top of that, the main kid can't act to save his life and looks like he filmed all of his scenes on an over-lit soundstage (which he probably did). Great voice cast though.

The adventures of Mowgli (Neel Sethi), Bagheera (Ben Kingsley), Baloo (Bill Murray), and the brutal Shere Khan (Idris Elba). Aside from the superior CGI and live-action protagonist, it's not much more than an updating of the 1967 animated version. On that level, it's generally entertaining, although the story seems a touch under-developed and the humor occasionally borders on the intrusive. Sethi does well enough, but the voice-work around him is decidedly more impressive.

The Positives: The CGI is actually really good-looking, the voices are perfect, and the film as a whole balances adventure with thrills surprisingly well. The Negatives: Very lacking in the plot and story areas, and thematically there isn't much going for it beyond "Be who you are", where they tease a lot more like overcoming fear and prejudice. But overall, this is a fun and harmless adventure story with more than just the bare necessities.

The Jungle Book is a very strong update of both the 1967 animated film and the original stories. It's almost entirely done with computers, save for the protagonist, but the result is one of the best CGI worlds ever made. The lead actor is good, the vocal performances are great, and the film looks amazing. Its plot isn't anything special, but it's elevated by a couple of themes that will resonate with the audience. It's fun, and it's another successful "live-action" Disney remake.

Certainly good for what it is, but it had some baffling issues for me. It's also far too scary for a kids film, making this hard to pinpoint who the target audience was and didn't really justify the point of making into a live-action film. The kid Mowgli and the voice actors are fine (though ScarJo as Kaa is wasted), and one song worked well and the other was one of the previously mentioned issues.

Wonderful adventure film is an exhilarating throw-back to the kind of light-hearted, good natured entertainment of yesteryear - while still packing a considerable emotional punch throughout. Sethi is a perfect, unselfconscious Mowgli, and engaging, convincing CGI along with a stellar voice cast bring the animal characters to vivid life - perhaps expectedly, Murray is a standout as Baloo, but Elba's villain, and a hilarious cameo by Walken as King Louis, are definite highlights.

I can't deny this is a gorgeous looking movie. It's got the technical bits perfected. But, at the end of the day, I felt there was something missing here. It's missing that Disney magic. Yes, there was some song and dance in there, and a couple of the characters are charming and hilarious (lol Chris Walken), but I think it was maybe too dark for its own good. And the kid wasn't all that great either; he never demonstrates any growth or development even after the trials. An ok movie overall.

It replaces the whimsical light-hearted charm of the original with an epic action-adventure film, and surprisingly, this was the better of the two. Who would've thought the Jungle Book had enough lore and thematic depth to make a good drama? Well, besides those who read the novel I guess.

As I wade through the jungle of live-action remakes from Disney I come to a conclusion. This was a money-grab all the way. The film is hardly different at all compared to the 1967 animated version. One difference is notable, there is a single live-action person in the movie played by a young boy named Neel Sethi. He's quite young, so I shouldn't be too hard on him, but honestly I wish Mowgli would have just been animated...

It looks really nice but something is missing that I can't place. Songs don't really feel like they fit in also.

Loses 10 points for Christopher Walken as King Louie, Shere Khan's motives are a little fuzzier at parts- but I liked a lot of the rest of it- I thought Baloo especially was much more fleshed out for motive.

Nice youth sentiment, although I would still prefer the original Jungle Book. As I would for all the 'old' animated movies; they somehow feel a lot better. 58/100.

I liked this a hell of a lot more than I thought I would. The effects were really good for the most part and I liked that they made it darker. The humor was alright and didn't distract too much but the musical numbers just didn't fit in this story and really hampered the whole thing. The boy who played Mowgli wasn't very good and you could tell he was stiff and it was even more obvious when he was blankly acting against a green screen.

A visually good representation of Kipling's story. I was a bit afraid of what this would become, a movie with only one real actor, a kid, but it soon won me over and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Can be viewed as an allegory of this new global society, trying to accept a dangerous specie (or predator culture) with a politically correct agenda. But everything fails miserably. The discurse can be seeing everywhere:The mancub adopted por liberal leftists (wolf-to-pack pack-to-wolf mantra) wolves, or the stone of peace so "important" to the prey species. Shere Khan was right, his only fault was not to be able to convince others about the danger of trying to tame a potencial hazard.

A bit more edge than the classic Disney animation, but the songs are sort of ruined. No one wants to hear Walken sing. It's bad. However, still enjoyable, and very well put together.

Much better than anticipated. I had not seen the cartoon version so the story line beyond the basic premise was new to me. The CGI was quite impressive as was the majority of the voice acting. I didn't enjoy the kid at first but he grew on me by the end.

True to it's nature. Some things were actually a lot darker than the original.. like King Louie.. holy moly he was scary :o. Very well put together and even the credits were worth the watch :). They even kept some of the songs in!

It's a well made family movie that brings back a beloved cast of characters that are able to create nostalgic moments among many, visually very strong with remarkable CGI-animation but unfortunately the story doesn't match the visuals.

Director Jon Favreau conjures up a magical place to get lost in. And that's just one of the dazzling delights in The Jungle Book, a visual marvel that cuts a direct path to the heart. Favreau, the director of films as diverse as Elf, Iron Man and Chef, has managed to blend what's best in the jungle stories of Rudyard Kipling and the 1967 animated Disney version into something unique and unforgettable.

I didn't expect much from this movie as it was little talked about, there was no advertising hype, no toys, no kids singing songs from the movie 24/7, etc. However, it turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable film. I should have guessed it would be good. I mean, there's no such thing as a bad Bill Murray movie, is there? The CGI jungle was very well done as well.

Although technically superb and mostly fun, it just doesnt pass a certain mehness. Too much for children, and not too much for adults in their. Enjoyable but not great.

A nice change in tone but it still keeps bare necessities and character of the original. I would have liked a bit more of some characters and when surrounded by such great talent, they do sort of show Sethi up to be a little under par unfortunately but it's still pretty solid and the CGI is top notch.
