The Jungle Book Audience Reviews

More Review
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
MJB784 Another well made, but not well written movie. Visually cool, but the story wanders sometimes and doesn't have many laughs in it. The songs weren't sung nearly as well as the cartoon.
Trey Yancy This could have been a fantastic film except for the casting. Bill Murray is barely passable in the spoken parts but his singing is atrocious. It always has been this way, going all the way back to 1976. Everybody knows he can't sing. It totally ruins what was the number one song in the original Disney film. I had to watch the original all over again to wash Murray's off-key, lousily timed groans out of my ears. Scarlett Johansson is great at speaking in a dull monotone voice without any soul or expression. For her to be cast as a seductive enchantress is utterly ridiculous. There are dozens of actresses who could have knocked this out of the park. Terrible casting. Christopher Walken did an okay job with the speaking parts but this man, like Murray, has absolutely no sense of musical time, Again, a major casting mistake. As for Gary Shandling, he is a lousy voice actor. Dozens of actors could have done a far, far better job. If Disney had hired a casting director with any talent whatsoever, this could have been one of the best films of the decade. Again, there are a ton of great casting directors out there. Disney has no excuse. The producers have no excuse. I was very disappointed.
atmankulkarni Great cinematography and visual effects (3D) but lacks heavily in story. I was impressed with the cast (English) after the trailers but in the movie they don't have the same effect. May be the Hindi version will have a soft corner for Indian viewers because of the song (I saw English version), but apart from that I don't think there is much new in the movie. With just over 100 mins of playtime, I don't see how they could have done justice to the book or the TV series. Overall worth a watch but considering the expectations, it was a disappointment.
Ruben Steernberg I was able to keep my eyes on the screen from start to end.
