Review of The Jungle Book

Ah The Jungle Book another new take on a classic. Well I figured I would check this out this month as well since I already watched the new Tarzan. Jon Favreau is quite the director. I also hear nothing but positive things about this one. Oddly enough this is written by Justin Marks who also wrote the terrible Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li film. So I guess he has redeemed himself after all this time. I knew that's where that was going to go. It was still a fun opening. Aww aren't they all so adorable. That has to be a rather amazing thing to see up close. I can already tell you Idris Elba's Shere Khan is one awesome villain! Aww those bittersweet moments. I almost crapped myself lol. Holy crap this is intense! This scene kind of reminds me of The Lion King. Well that's interesting. Oh my lord! This kid just can't catch a break. You know what that means! There she is. That's definitely a soothing voice. Is she the evil version or good version though? Okay that was a pretty cool transition. Well that was interesting. Nice way to use that line too! Lol the animal extras are kind of hilarious. That's too funny. Now it got dark again. That look is putting the fear in me. Oh nice a classic moment there! Ah that was beautiful. Go away monkey! That is a hell of a lot of monkeys. Yay another one of the fun classics! Lord he is scarier than a gorilla! Haha that backfired. Geez that was intense. That was neat and different. He is probably the most brutal and terrifying Shere Khan ever. I love him! Good lord this has me on the edge of my freaking seat. Okay that was a pretty cool turn of events. That was a cute ending. Ah now we get a few of the full songs during the credits. Oh my Scarlett Johansson singing yes! I do wonder if Kaa and King Louie are dead or just injured. I mean they weren't afraid to kill off a few other characters. I think this kid held his own with the powerhouse cast he was with. I honestly think this is the best adaptation of the story only being better than the original animated version. It's just so well done. Sure it has a few tweaks to be different, but they are actually pretty tolerable. The CGI was amazing. I wasn't at all surprised that I liked this. I am surprised by the fact that it was so much better than I was expecting. I definitely recommend seeing this one asap.
