The Technodrome Forums - The Jungle Book 2016 Discussion

Just came back from watching the new Jungle Book remake, and it completely blew me away. There is so much about the film that I absolutely adore:

1. The CG in my opinion is groundbreaking
2. The sheer scale of the movie's plot, with so many locations and animals
3. The voice acting, I especially liked Bill Murray as Baloo and Scarlett Johanson as Kaa
4. I liked the many nods to the original novel as well as the cartoon film while still being its own thing.
5. A handful of funny moments
6. Intense chase/action scenes with those jumpscares that caught me off guard.
7. New interpretations of characters like Louie, Kaa and the Elephants.

My only two nitpicks were that they could've used a little bit more comedy while cutting down a little on the action scenes. Also, Kaa got only one scene which i thought is a shame coz she could've appeared a scene or two more.

Minor complaints pushed aside, I thought this was a fantastic film and I give it a 9/10. What are your thoughts?
