The
Jungle Book 7/10
I got
around to watching the live action version of The Jungle Book
expecting to not enjoy it for some reason. I had it sitting in my
Netflix queue just wondering if I would ever get around to watching
it. I did and really liked it. It took me a little bit to get used to
the way some of the animals looked but once I did I was all in. This
is about a kid named Mowgli...I am not going to tell you what The
Jungle Book is about, you weirdos. Kid raised by wolves, begins to
act a bit too human for animals taste, and is led towards a place
where he can be left.
Mowgli
is raised by some nice wolves and keeps using trees and running on
legs unlike most of the other animals and his wolf mama Raksha played
by Lupita Nyong'o has Bagheera played by Ben Kingsley take him away.
He gets split up when Shere Khan voiced by Idris Elba chases him
away. Now, Khan knows that Mowgli is a “man cub” now but will one
day become a man and hunt them. I agree with him. Mowgli is already
making ropes and spears. One day he is gonna get sick of eating fruit
and want some animal meat.
This
movie did use some of the songs from the cartoon from back in the day
and also included some things left out but were in the book. I liked
the way that they showed there were consequences to actions like when
Mowgli, in an attempt to challenge Shere Khan, grabs a flaming stick
and runs through the forest like an asshole and sets everything on
fire scaring the shit out of all the animals. If you get a chance to
check this out you should.
