Synopsis:
Raised by a family of wolves since birth, Mowgli (Neel Sethi) must leave the only home he's ever known when the fearsome tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba) unleashes his mighty roar. Guided by a no-nonsense panther (Ben Kingsley) and a free-spirited bear (Bill Murray), the young boy meets an array of jungle animals, including a slithery python and a smooth-talking ape. Along the way, Mowgli learns valuable life lessons as his epic journey of self-discovery leads to fun and adventure.
My Review:
The live-action remake from the beloved animated classic back in 1967 delivers on a level that could very well be better than the original. The Jungle Book is the first to implement the musical element that made the hand-drawn versions shine. It still includes its own version of “The Bear Necessities,” and King Louie’s “I Wanna Be Like You” which is nice specially when you have read the book or watched the animated version. I personally like the film because I grew up knowing its characters and story which was shot beautifully with fantastic sense of wonder.
Overall The Jungle Book is a fun, brilliant and beautiful film. It is worth the extra price for IMAX 3D. My rating for this film is 8 out 10 stars ********
