Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book is a brilliant
rendition of Rudyard Kipling’s original book whilst also keeping to the Disney
original. The Jungle Book is about a young human boy (Mowlgi) being raised by a
pack of wolves and a panther (Bagheera) in the jungle, but when a predatory
tiger (Shere Khan) finds out that the wolves are raising a human he demands
that they give the man-cub to him forcing Mowgli to leave the pack.
It has brilliant characters that are played superbly
by the actors. Newcomer Neel Seethi plays a very likable and relatable Mowgli
and I am sure it isn’t last we will see of this young actor. Bill Murray plays
a hilarious and lovable Baloo and Murray’s and Seethi’s rendition of “The Bare
Necessities” is as good, if not better than the original song. Idris Alba plays
a menacing and terrifying Shere Khan, he’s voice is so commanding and perfect
for the character.
The most amazing thing about this movie is the CGI
used, all the animals look perfect and the facial animations add the perfect
amount of personality to the characters whilst also making them still look like
animals. Also the entire jungle is CGI and looks so realistic and alive, it
truly is a visual masterpiece what they have done with this jungle.
Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book is a brilliant film
that everyone can enjoy and a must see at the cinema.
