Movie Review: THE JUNGLE BOOK (Review #2)

One thing about me is the fact that I never, ever watch trailers, I believe in going in every movie totally blind and that was the same case here. Given that, I must admit I might have been one of the few people that was totally indifferent about the new Jungle Book, not even Jon Favreau’s involvement managed to get me really excited about this film, and I am a huge fan of his. I simply could not care less for one reason or another, now after having seen it I must admit I was pleasantly warmed up by the film which won me over in less than a minute, yet I still contend a little indifference about this story and I might have figured out why.

Movie Review: THE JUNGLE BOOK

Good luck, Andy Serkis.
I love you, but good 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 once again stepping up to the plate to show us what's what. Their version is an awesome adventure story, with some brief sparks of musical and comedy, and Jon Favreau directs the hell out of all of it. With last year's Cinderella and now this, The Jungle Book is easily Disney’s best animation to ‘live action” film to date.
