Felt like it was a good stab at the Kipling original (though haven't read it), why then include 'Bare Necessities'? And why make the orangutan so big? Crazy lapses of judgment. Otherwise, fabulous effects, photography (Bill Pope). Screenplay by Justin Marks. Kind of 'Jungle Book - Revenant version', not, I would have thought, for kids. Crazy - a kids' film that's unsuitable for kids. Had to laugh, though, at the Apocalypse Now reference.
Neel Sethi plays Mowgli; plus Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong'o (Twelve Years a Slave, Star Wars), Scarlett Johansson, Christopher Walken.
