The Jungle Book (2016)

I watched this movie in theaters and was blown away. I don't remember too much of the original animated film, but this was a nice refresher. We get CGI animals and CGI backgrounds, and one human boy (who is real). The animals were all well-done and their voices were superb. If this is what the CGI Lion King will be like in 2019, then I'm all for it, even without humans. The wolves were the best of the CGI animals, especially the pups. The pups sounded just like human children! I'm not too sure about the Oscar winnings but this gets a standing ovation, Oscar or no Oscar. It's a good Disney remake.

I remember going to the theater for the first time in my life. It was to see The Jungle Book from 1967 with my grandfather. I guess every kid saw that movie at least once in their lifetime. I was pretty impressed by the cartoon on a big screen. Now so many years later you get a decent adaptation of that cartoon with real looking animals. For the visual effects this movie is worth a watch, maybe not an Oscar worth movie, but still it is enjoyable. Certainly with the whole family, because it's more a kid movie than anything else. But adults can enjoy this movie as well. Seeing critics on here giving this movie the lowest rating possible is just ridiculous. You really never saw a worse movie? You must not watch alot of movies then. The Jungle Book is exactly what I expected it to be in 2016, a good adaptation of Rudyard Kiplings' book on big screen. And that with big names as narrating voices.

This is what a good remake should look like. Not just that it has a new look with astonishing realistic CG but it also has an adapted storyline that varies from the original one but still very interesting.Really funny, music always at the right moment and fights very good composed.Definitely on my Top 7 of favorite movies

Every time I got fascinated about this movie like everyone because of two reasons. The first one my jealousy of those people who experienced this film in theaters (especially in iMax) because I'm not able to watch this film on the silver screen. The second reason is the reason of everybody, that's the powerful use of visual treatment. Hollywood movies, as we knew are the great treasures of visual beauty and colorful treatment. But Jungle Book is far apart from those kind colorful productions from the early masterpieces like Matrix, Avatar and many more. It is something a vivid way of representation of the new technique collectively known as vfx or Visual Effects. I'm stunned with the maximum utilization of that technique to the utmost and I just went into the forest along with Mowgli (like another man-cab). It's been something a film not about the new technique which is used (as far as concern it is an old technique according to Hollywood movies) it sustain here, in my mind cause of the apt and correct use of visual effects and make the movie live to the audience. Apart from my applause to the Animation films ( because this is something closely connected to Animation films) it is a great and enormous visual treatment to any kind of film lovers (People who love any kind of films not concerning which genre it is).
