The Jungle Book (2016)

Any review not starting with the stunning and breath-taking visuals is burying the lead. They are, simply put, some of the very best ever put to the screen.

The plot is the same we all know and love, and it's mostly fine. The voice acting was great, although I found the King Louie scene to be a bit confused tonally. I didn't connect with any of the characters in particular, otherwise this would've been a near-perfect film. As is, I walked away thinking it was a gorgeous, but mostly just fine film.

8.25/10
