An orphan boy is raised in the Jungle with the help of a pack of wolves, a bear and a black panther.
Don't throw tomatoes at me, I haven't seen the Disney animated version (just clips here and there). Haven't read the book either. Can I just say I've been living under a rock? That said, this review is strictly about this film with no influence from book or previous animated version. Anyway, I enjoyed the ride. Quite an adventure that kept me on my toes. Shere Khan the tiger is a terror! So glad Baloo's comedic antics buffed him out ..Bill Murray is simply incredible. The young boy actor needs a little more acting pizzazz (for lack of a better term) but overall he got me rooting for him so he got the job done considering he was the only non-cgi character. Haha, when King Louie the orangutan started to sing I was taken aback. I didn't see this as a musical so I found that part funny. Now I have a hankering to read the book and see the animated version.

I must admit I was worried when I heard this was coming out. Having seen the original, I thought it would be unbeatable. So it's worth watching then. Maybe I will. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the original so I don't have that to go by. My kids (7,9,13) enjoyed it and it didn't scare them. Haha, that tiger was a beast, he scared me a bit! :)
DeleteIn this manner my associate Wesley Virgin's biography starts in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get anything they want.
THESE are the EXACT same SECRETS tons of famous people (notably those who "come out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You probably know that you only use 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because most of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps this conversation has even taken place IN YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years ago, while driving an unregistered, garbage bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and on his banking card.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life payroll to payroll! When will I become successful?"
You took part in those questions, ain't it so?
Your success story is going to start. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
