It looks good but you already know how it's going to end, similar to looking at your ex, yeah sure they might look good but they're an ex for a reason you know how it's going to end.
The Jungle Book looks amazing, the visuals of this movie are some of the best I've seen, I was actually questioning myself sometimes because I couldn't tell if the animals were real or not. Now unlike my previous posts I'm going to talk about this film in a good light, I did actually like it.
The thing about The Jungle Book is that for one it looks great and that had me engrossed from the start, the second thing was as soon as I heard Idris Elba as Shere Kahn (I must admit it sounded a little weird at first but it grew on me) and Christopher Walken as King Louie (that didn't need time to grow on me it was hilarious) The third thing was that I know the story, I've seen the 1967 version and heard the story before so there were no surprises for me really. I understand that the film is directed towards a much younger audience than myself, but I still enjoyed it for the way that it looks and sounds.
I think that the way that the story had being adapted for a live action film is perfect and it works really well, the more that I think back the more that I appreciate the film that I saw, when I first come out of the cinema I felt a little disappointed but I think that is because I know the story and the ending was no surprise. Something that was added into the live action film that wasn't in the original 1967 version of the film, was that they made it so it was Mowgli's father that burned Shere Khan's face, giving more reason to the why Shere Kahn hates Mowgli rather than just humans in general. This as well as the very slow reveal added something extra to the movie for me, I guess if you have being living under a rock or are possibly a small child that has never heard of The Jungle Book before this isn't really a big deal.
So I'll conclude with; yes this is a good movie and I recommend going to see it at the cinema because the visuals are defiantly worth the price of a ticket, then there's the sound of Christopher Walken as King Louie which just sounds perfect in the cinema. Whether you have heard of The Jungle Book before or maybe you have a man cub of your own that you want to take to see it, go, do it, it's completely worth it even if you don't enjoy the story, you'll enjoy the experience.
