People who hated this version of The Jungle Book are looking forward to Andy Serkis version. A really surprising situation if you ask me.

Surprising? Those people were disappointed by one version and are hoping that the other one will be better. How is that surprising?

I think the only thing I didn't like in the entire film was the Shere Khan vs Mowgli scene. We spent so much time seeing him use his "tricks" to make an elaborate plan to have Shere Khan fall into the fire, I was bored. I did love that they didn't have Mowgli go to the human village or meet that girl like in the 1967 version. That was the part I hated the most of the original.

Speak for yourself, when i re-watched the animated version a few years back, i couldn't help but laugh, because that scene seemed so out of place, and yet you have Baloo acting like your friend trying to save you from marriage. "Don't do it! it's nothin but trouble" lol

A sequel has apparently already been greenlit at Disney

Come on Disney...
Do we really need sequel right away?
I loved the Live Action adaption of the original but I don't know how i would like a sequel.

I much rather see them work on Hyper Realistic Version of their other animated films.

I mean, the sequel kind of has to be done right away since Mowgli is still a kid in the sequels, I believe.

Disney has multitudes of film teams, crews, etc. JB2 isn't taking away manpower/production on them doing films for other properties. It's like if they decided to do one Percy Jackson film and then decided that, instead of doing the next four books + sequel series, they'd do something else entirely.

Frankly, I'm excited to see Disney tackle the entire JB series rather than just one movie based off one book.

Because I figured that they'd just stick to the animated version (especially considering that Pan bombed critically and financially). I suppose Andy Serkis is the sole selling point for this iteration. Regardless, I'm satisfied with what I got out of this movie: it exceeded by high expectations.

It was good. The technology used generated very impressive results and I had to keep reminding myself that it was all fake. And I absolutely adored the end credits. Very creative and fun.

The people who're disappointed with this version dislike it because they wanted something more dark, gritty, "realistic," etc. Animated version is anything but.

I'll be honest, o had my doubts going into the film, but thought it was fantastic. I dig the way they included the original's classic songs.

Re: Jungle Book (2016) - Not another live action film!

Just saw it. It was really good, especially with fleshing out the animal characters, whose voice acting was all excellent. There a a few small flaws/nitpicks, but it was overall really well done. 4/5

Seeing this I'm really curious what differences in approach the Warner Bros version will make and how they will compare against each other.
I don't know how the next could possibly top this Disney version in making Shere Khan absolutely terrifying. Benedict Cumberbatch will probably do a really good performance with the role, but man does this set the bar for Shere Khan's portrayal.

This movie is amazing! Visually stunning, storyline is fantastic, and the cast voice acting was all around delivered very well, as well as the Mogli actor. Bless you Jon Favreau!
