The new production, computer-animated except for a living, breathing boy at the center of the action, isn’t pretty or sweet but utterly stunning, as well as very funny; all those vaudeville antecedents haven’t been forgotten.
Conjuring up a serving of visual magic is one thing, of course; bringing Kipling’s characters and narrative to life is another.

The Jungle Book could use better lighting and less of John Debney's musical score insisting each moment be melodically underlined twice. Still, it's a movie to thrill and perhaps inspire kids to play Mowgli games again. Not outside, of course. Now there's an app for that.
While there is the odd bum note, The Jungle Book is an immersive, visually breathtaking family adventure and a welcome addition to their new spate of live-action reimaginings.
Director Jon Favreau's voice cast for the animals is tiptop.
For pure spectacle alone this film is well worth the ticket price. Its visuals are so undeniably convincing and intricate that the sheer wonder of how they achieved any of this will be enough to distract — from the story’s missteps and even the film itself.
Jon Favreau draws heavily on his film's animated predecessor for plot, characterizations, and more, but doesn't know how to fit these familiar elements into his own coherent vision.
What a well made Disney movie, Jon.F just knows his CG and animation. I watched this movie with no expectations and just loved it. It was great that they chose an unknown to play the main character. The voice overs were fantastic, great casting. He stuck to the original story but it is still magical. Must watch, I will watch it again. It’s that well done.

The incredible visuals are so arresting here it is an amazing reminder of how far CGI has progressed in feature films.... Sadly this wasnt enough to move me as the screenplay editing and pacing felt decidedly average and the weaker rehashes of the classic original songs bare necessities and jungle vip stood out from the rest of the picture. So ultimately I just didnt feel anything for mowgli or his animal friends. Scenes just played out in sequence with little for me to care for. It felt like this was a missed opportunity as the cast are superb and under utilised (with the exception of Elba!).

Decent live action film with amazing visuals that cannot get past **** plot with not much thought. A good version? Yes. Oscars and awards talk? How? When? Hmm no. It isn´t anywhere as good as to deserve such thing. Watch for the visuals and the kids will love it. But there´s no more to it. Nothing deeper or with special artistic value.

AS soon as I found out that the actor for Mowgli is so bad at acting, I couldn't focus on anything, and I don't think there is anything I enjoyed. It is true that those voices were great, but it wasn't the perfect casting. Also the ending was completely from The Lion King.
