I watched it and I thought it was just at least worth seeing since I accidentally saw the end of it or the part where Kaa the huge snake came in and had a brief part in the movie. I was wanting to watch it because Scarlett Johansson was in…

Just awful and very cheesy, neither close to the book nor to the original Disney animation.

Really enjoyed this! Stars the voices of Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Edris Elba, Scarlett Johansson and Christopher Walken. A story all ages can enjoy.

I'm not much for Disney movies. But I watched this when it first came out, and surprisingly loved it! And I was stoked when I found out that they were redoing The Lion King in the same way... Aaaand then it came out. I saw it. It sucked.…

A longer, more serious, realistic, and in depth version of the older cartoon movie made by Disney.

A very solid movie. Mowgli's acting is about as good as could be expected, but the best performances are from the animals of course. Murray, Johansson, Elba, Kingsley, Walken, Nyong'o all do fantastic jobs in their roles. It's not the…

I thought over all this is a good movie but the actor who played mowgli his acting was ok but not that good if they had chosen a better actor the movie would have been better but over all I give it 3 and a half stars.

It was so different and great to see a real movie (with animated real animals) made out of the jungle book. The interpretation of the great soundtrack was very good but a bit more music would have been better.

Love this version of the Jungle Book! Well done!

Great family movie with stunning visuals and graphics. Disney seems to be continuing the tradition of capturing audiences' interest. It was a thrill to watch from start to end with fantastic CGI. The actor, Neel Sethi, did a good job being…

Wonderful movie for children and adults who love the beauties of nature and animals. Bill Murray's voice was easy to recognize in the bear friend, who has his same attitudes.

This is an entertaining and polished live-action version of the '60s classic. Ultimately though, the more serious tone and mere homage to the wonderful music of the original film, fail to bring this out of its predecessor's shadow.

Growing up in Orlando created a love/hate Disney relationship for me; TH refused to believe I'd never watch a version of this movie. I'm happy to say I enjoyed it and would watch it again. The voice actors (as the animals) were wonderfully…

The film is excellently done, lavish in places. Unfortunately, the dialogue is lackluster. There is nothing that shines or is memorable in anything these characters have to say. Very disappointing that.

A lively retelling of The Jungle Book that sticks pretty close to Disney's original animated version, but still manages to breathe some fresh life into the classic story of the boy raised in the jungle. The wolf puppies had to be some of…

Visually stunning, though I didn't like the ending as much as the animated one. The little boy is a great actor, though!

You're better off watching the original. It's quite a bit shorter and shows the same exact movie. I was really disappointed and the lack of originality. I mean they didn't even decide to change much of anything. This has to be one of…

The CGI was fantastic and I really liked how they decided to tell the story. Every character brought a different emotion to the big screen and I loved, along with other adults in the theatre, hearing the soundtrack and score of a beloved…

I agree with many of you: It's not as good as the original, but still impressive. And I LOVE Scarlett Johansson's rendition of "Trust in Me". (Am I the only one thinking James Bond here?)

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was! Neel Sethi was remarkable in not only his acting chops, but the fact that he pretty much carried this film alone due to all the CGI. Inclusion of the songs from the original cartoon was fun…

Overall, not a bad movie. However, I prefer the animated Disney movie over this version. While there were differences in the story, making it a semi-new movie, it just felt like a rehashing of the animated classic. While I enjoyed that…

My wife & I really enjoyed this movie. We were surprised. I didn't think a live action version of a classic Disney movie would be as good, but it was.

This may not be the exact interpretation that Rudyard Kipling would have intended for his work, but I loved it. Sure, it's been done over and over in many different forms, but Disney seemed to capture the story in a light way, but still…
