Jon Favreau brings all the boys to the (Rud)yard, and they're like "what a rich visual feast in service of a decent adventure." some problems: - Mowgli can't act. excruciating. and his wolf parents are terribly underdeveloped - for a film that's power is so…
davidehrlichGood date film. Few corny moments here and there but great adaptation.
KarstenDec 5, 2023Best Disney Live action remake? I still think so.

RESEÑA EN ESPAÑOL AQUI JUNIMATION IV: LAND OF TOONS Arguably one of the best live-action remakes Disney has produced. The thing that separates the stronger entries in this series from the weaker ones is their willingness to do more than simply recreate the original. The…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineApr 14, 201680/100 Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book, a hybrid project of Kipling's original source material and the 1967 animated film, is a delicate story but a magnificent world. Almost entirely computer-generated, it's a wondrous dreamscape of sensations and textures - 3D is…

‘The Jungle Book (1967)’ found dead in a ditch💀 (Just kidding. That one is still great.😜) One of, if not the only, Disney remake that’s better than the original animated movie🔥. Gorgeous effects & wonderful casting. Neel Sethi made a great Mowgli💚 & Bill Murray is the…
Jade talks too much🎅🏻🎄Apr 10, 2016Good luck, Andy Serkis. I love you, but good bloody luck. For those waiting for the release of The Jungle Book, I can assure you you're in an absolute treat. The battle for what’s the better Jungle Book adaptation has already finished before it even began, with Disney…
SCHIZO BAILEY, FBIApr 12, 2016It's good, but it just didn't feel like a John Favreau film to me. It was missing the flare that made Iron Man, Elf, and Chef so much fun. Bill Murray is absolutely awesome as Ballo, definitely the highlight of the film for me besides the gorgeous CGI. I pretty much feel…

Stutter with the Fedora lovedThe Jungle Book2016’s The Jungle Book which was one of many classics Disney remade in live-action but put in the hands of director Jon Favreau and a talented cast this adaptation was a huge success and thought of as one of the best attempts the studio has made in recreating a beloved classic.

Skyy lovedThe Jungle BookSo many moments that pulled at my heart strings. Mowgli saying goodbye to his wolf mom had me tearing up. “No matter where you go, or what they call you, you’ll always be my son”, and Baloo telling Bagheera that Mowgli was special and he says “I know he is, I raised him” oh my goodness. I didn’t…

Jon Favreau has written and directed an excellent storyline. As a child i read this book many times and watch the animated versions of this story. He brought to life what i really imagined what this movie would be like in reality, if animals and humans could converse in…
BCBrandy CoughlinGreat for adults. Scary for children

scared the crap out of my 4 year old. He made it through the whole thing though. It's not for little kids.

Somehow this Jungle Book works, because Favreau has both a sense of humor and a sense of spectacle.

The vocal performances are spot-on, with Murray a standout as the slyly manipulative but ultimately courageous Baloo.
