Review of Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (2018) by Robert P — 10 Dec 2018

With enough differences in its tone and style to justify its existence, along a great cast selection offering appealing voice performances, but while the film is, at times, visually gorgeous to admire, and its gruesome and darker tone matches some of Kipling's original book material, this new take on The Jungle Book lacks the heart and wanderlust most of its previous adaptation offered, and while Andy Serkis direction is neat, it cannot help but to feel heavily inferior to Jon Favreau's previous achievement.
