I don't reallly understand the bad reviews for this movie because I liked the serious tone and the grittiness of this movie.
Another thing I liked about this movie compared to the disney movie is that I didn't feel any safety for the characters.

Voice acting was top notch and Rohan Chand as Mowgli was great too.

But there are some flaws here and there the cgi is a bit ehhh and you need to get used to the hybrid faces for the animals which wasn't really an issue for me personally but It may be for some.

All in all I found this movie really interesting and I liked how dark it was and surprisingly it worked.

Maybe you should give it a shot.

I rate it an 8/10, can't wait to see more of Andy Serkis as director!

@panchio I totally agree. I went into this movie, expecting something horrible, and after seemingly having been validated at the beginning with the uncanny CGI, I soon got used to it and got pretty engaged in the story. Its darkness is what sets it apart from others and the movie can genuinely be beautiful. The scene where Mowgli told his friend that he is not special, but came out wrong actually brought me to tears. It isn't perfect, and I personally like Disney's 2016 live-action Jungle Book better, but this was definitely a fun, but gritty ride. It truly was a nice change to have a grittier Jungle Book.

This movie was indeed not like the 2016 or 1967 adaptation, it was darker and I loved it, easily one of my favorite movies of 2018.

I loved Mowgli. His friendship with Bhoot was amazing till the end. The moment he saw he was gone and broke down in tears was so heart breaking.
Baloo and Bagheraa are the best friends a boy can have.
I'm glad he became the leader that his family needed.

Where the heck did this come from? Can talking animals receive academy awards? Those were my initial questions after watching. So surprised that whomever, decided to put the efforts and resources necessary to make a serious, talking animal, Jungle Book movie. You could tell right away something different was going on, and it didn't disappoint. Very enjoyable, and now I need an Andy Serkis remake of Little Mermaid (so I can enjoy it as much as my daughters).

Okay, so this probably isn't The Jungle Book you know and love, with dancing bears and comical monkeys. It is a darker version of the tale, and that's a good thing, because we don't need a carbon copy of the 2016 or 1967 adaptations of the tale. While younger children should be dissuaded from watching it - the jungle is a savage place - there is still a lot to enjoy for older kids and their parents. Oh, and was I the only one to realise this is the second time that somebody has shouted KHAAAAN to a Benedict Cumberbatch character?

Despite weak cgi for some of the animals. I don’t see why critics didn’t like this version as much as the 2016 film. It’s darker but more faithful to the book.
Critics make it sound like it loses focus of the story a lot when Mowgli is in the man village. I think the film is pretty solid and under-rated though.
Mowgli learns to feel at home in the man village but has to choose between that and the jungle. So the film doesn’t lose track of the stories heart at all. Unlike what Rotten Tomatoes says.
Just don’t put it on for your kids. It has no problem being overly detailed with animal deaths. Otherwise I’d probably review it higher. One death scarred me too much though.

A dark, bloody and quite boring version of "The Jungle Book". Weak visuals.

in short. I loved it. the story was so much more interesting than previous attempts. this one completely remade the characters and showed them in New lights. it was thrilling, suspenseful, dramatic and adventurous.

Ok, not the version for children, there's plenty of violent scenes of mauling, bloodshed, and death. Lead actor Chand was formidable! CGI was decent, not superb. Felt ending was rushed. Overall nice take on the classic Kipling story , staying more true to its more sinister tones.
