3/10
Better watch Wolfgang Reitherman's 1967 animated Jungle Book or wait for Jon Favreau's sequel.

Some may complain that it is a very different take from the Disney version. Fine. Some may complain about the famous song missing. Fine. Some may complain about the ending being a bit violent. Fine. Some may complain about the humour missing. Fine. But at least make it entertaining n not preachy. The boy who played Mowgli was terrible. His facial expressions n dialogue delivery were horrendous. Freido Pinto looked too sultry n shapely for a village girl during the colonial period. The hunter's character was totally unnecessary. This version looked as if it was made in a hurry. This version will be forgotten.

Wolfgang Reitherman's 1967 animated Jungle Book will always be a classic. It was full on entertainment and the character development was awesome in that. Jon Favreau's Jungle Book will be remembered for amazing visual effects, solid vocal performances, impeccable direction n nice musical score.
