So, was it good?
>>81945841
RT tells me it's good so it must be. I'm unable to form my own opinions on things.
Yes, if only for this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15rUJuKCM90
>>81945841
it's alright kid's not that great but the rest of the cast make up for him
>>81945841
Quite good. Excellent CGI, very nice voice acting, silly musical numbers without being obtrusive, edge of your seat tension, and what may be one of the greatest animal fight scenes in all of cinema.Holy fuck I thought Khan was going to kill Bagheera. Good thing Raksha is fucking savage.
>>81945841
Very good indeed.
CGI shitstorm, trying to profit off nostalgia, Mowgli mumbles fucking everything
Actually fun, Walken Johansson and Murray all do great jobs, it's not even 2 hours long
>>81946096
>one of the greatest animal fight scenes in all of cinema
Better than polar bears?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTjs5eo4BfI
>>81947812
I said one of, butI'd probably say it was better than Polar Bears. Shere Khan going from bear to wolves to panther to wolves again is a sure fire way to keep an audience on the edge if their seat.
Here's the real question:
Is it built on the Disney movie, or the book?
>>81948961
Very loose adoption of the Disney animated movie.
>>81946271
>Johansson
Everyone was great except her as Kaa, she sounded so uninterested in her lines. Luckily, she was only there for one scene before getting mauled by Baloo.
>>81945841
It's fantastic. Sheer-Khan is the best villain this year.
>>81945894
Fuck. Gunna have to see this now.
I thought it was the little things that really stood for me.
Mowgli is scarred during his adventure, as expected from fighting off a fucking tiger.
Sheer Khan's ferocity is downright impressive as others said.
Honestly i thought Bagheera was a bit plain and then he starts fighting with little regard for his life to protect Mowgli.
Cool movie. Needed more monkey mayhem though. And more Elephants.
>>81949790
Well she's not a very good actress so that's not surprising.
>>81945894
I thought they weren't gonna do it.
This is amazing.
>>81945894
>>81950798
The original song coming out of nowhere during the new Disneyland fireworks show should have been a clue.
Pretty dang good. Louie was great, and while her scene was short, Kaa made a pretty good impact as well. Murray did well as Baloo, Shere Kahn was scary.
8/10 movie.
>>81945841
Is this /shota/?
>>81945841
This is a literary adaptation, not a comic or cartoon adaptation. It is off-topic on /co/.
>>81951458
It's both. The fact that they used characters and songs that derive solely from the animated movie prove that.
>>81949669
Neato.
>>81951458
No, it's a live-action remake of the Animated Cartoon.
The characterization of the characters is take directly from the cartoon. In the book Kaa was Mowgli's mentor, Baloo was the wolf cub's teacher. Both characters in the movie are taken directly from the cartoon.
>>81949790
>Everyone was great except her as Kaa, she sounded so uninterested in her lines.
Heard this sentiment exactly one other time a few hours ago in another thread.
Let me just throw out a guess that suddenly it's gonna be the thing everyone mentions as a negative toward the film from this point forward. It shall strangely become the most obvious thing.
>>81951458
anything related to comics & cartoons is /co/ topic even if comics or cartoons weren't the original art material
thats why we discuss transformers here and not in /toy/
>>81945841
Some of the visuals were nice, and walken was good, but the rest was quite bad
>>81951811
What are you trying to get at, my new friend?
>>81952078
That people on /co/ love to repeat others criticisms ad nauseum because despite being incapable of producing well thought out criticism of their own they are entirely capable of reading something someone else wrote and posting a version of that.
>>81945894
my god
Why is a kid living in the fucking jungle wearing bike shorts that look like they came from Wal-Mart.
>>81949790
>>81951811
Why was she even cast in that role?
>>81952143
>more than one person can't point out a glaring fault.
I don't think you actually understand what you're saying.
>>81952202
They're his little baby trousers from when he was a toddler. There's a flash back where he's wearing them and they go down to his feet, but I guess he just kept wearing them as he got bigger.
>>81952202
Why do bushmen who have never seen a white man wear Mickey Mouse tshirts? Merch has reach.
>>81945841
I loved it but that's just my shitty opinion
>>81952351
No I understand what i'm saying entirely. I'm not saying every repeated statement is bullshit parroting. but I heard this sentiment exactly one another time a very short time ago, in a thread bitching about that very thing. Before that nothing. I'm just saying I guarantee were going to see that coming up with more and more frequency in every future thread about this movie from this point on.
Not saying it wasn't a glaring flaw. I don't give a shit about that one way or the other. I'm just saying I think its a flaw (whether accurate or not) that'll be the go to for hating in Jungle book threads here on out.
Seems fairly cut and dry. Not sure whats confusing about it.
>>81948961
More of a blend of both. Puts a lot more of "Mowgli's Brothers" into the narrative.
there a decent rip of this movie out yet?
>>81951458
The humans are the only thing that isn't CG in the movie
>>81945894
>Christopher Walken wants to be human
This might be worth the ticket price alone.
>>81945841
It's pretty good, the kid is bleh but everyone else and the action provide enough distraction from the kid to keep it interesting.
>>81952012
Walken was the worst part of the entire movie
>>81952202
fucking pleb
>>81945894
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, how the fuck is Walken nailing this? He's literally the last person on Earth I'd think that could nail the song. The dude's voice doesn't naturally lend to music.
I'll eat my dick if this didn't take like 200 different recording sessions and it's all the best bits spliced together, or if this isn't just someone else singing it.
It's an art film for 10 year old boys
I watched it in French Candian dub, it was great, except that I found Mowgli was a tad annoying. Laurent Paquin, who is a humorist, dubbed Baloo.
>>81945841
yes. Mowgli kid would actually make a good Aang if they tried to make another Last Airbender
>>81951458
Is this comic any good? It looks good.
>>81956090
It is, but due to a quirk in the rules, it can only be posted on /b/ and /trash/, despite being completely innocent and a classic.
>>81945878
Did you like BvS?
>>81956183
Sweet, found it.
https://www.scribd.com/doc/65988731/Pyrenee
Apparently there's no "official" English translation, so hopefully whoever translated this knew what they were doing.
>>81949790
>she sounded so uninterested in her lines.
So every movie she's ever been in.
>>81956183
It's fun to see people's round butts regardless the age and I think people should be able to say this without massive qualifiers.
>>81945841
Ask /tv/.
>>81956527
Agreed. It's a shame that people jump to such harsh conclusions so easily.
>>81949817
I thought Snyder was the best villain this year, next to Guggenheim?
>>81955185
What's next, Boucar Diouf as King Louie?
>>81954968
Walken is a song and dance man. Look it up.
>>81956418
She sounded calm and relaxing, as one should who is trying to hypnotize prey. Honestly, I feel kind of bad for her. They had her record the Trust In Me song, and played it in the credits, but in the movie she just kind of showed up to be exposition snake and then was gone. Why not put the song in the film proper?
>>81952351
>Why was she even cast in that role?
Because thanks to the MCU she is now the hot stuff and everyone wants her for their Movies.
At least the Serkis version will have a proper actor, Cate Blanchett as Kaa.
>>81956584
I wonder if we'll ever gain back the grounds of rationality that we've lost recently.
Catch a predator was NO HELP AT ALL in making life in the world less awkward. Like jesus christ.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSRZaCSk-B8
It was pretty bad tbqh
Never liked the original Jungle Book so this one is probably shitty as well.
>>81945841
Is there porn of Scarlett Johanson Kaa yet?
King Louie reminded me of a Dark Souls or Resident Evil boss.
>>81957935
>Resident Evil boss
You mean how he chases you a bit while not being at all scary?
>>81952459
well I mean that's what happened with the Martha thing in BvS. A bunch of retards acting like they didnt know there was more than just "our mothers have the same name so we're friends now". Perfectly good piece of cinema, critics gave it shit ratings because Robert Downey Jr. wasn't making a quip every 5 seconds and every one else wanted to feel like a critic so they came out saying how they hated it so much. Sorry to rant about bvs in a jungle book thread. But yeah I agree
Should've made bagheera female too desu
>>81945841
I liked it, no real complaints. Kingsley, Murray and Walken were top-tier voice work. The kid was pretty endearing too, a lot of child actors tend to be grating but he was nice
>>81958018
someone watched the russian animated jungle book and saw their super smug female bagheera
>>81956290
I liked Papi malo vs Little boi.
>>81945841
It was OK kinda like a family movie that kids love.
>>81956290
I find it decent and not as bad as many claimed it to be.
>>81958047
>smug female bagheera
you can't just say things like this to my dick and casually walk off screen afterwards.
>>81959329
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAkyKttnKaM
Have watching the best animated version of the jungle book. There's the full dubbed version on youtube too if subs aren't your thing.
I can't be the only who thought that Mowgli was gonna build a spear and somehow PG kill Khan with it right?
>>81949790
>at least she didn't try to sing Tom Waits songs
>>81959329
>He doesn't know about smug, catty Bagheera trolling cripples all day every day
Best fucking character in the russkie version.
>>81951458
Its an adaptation of the cartoon technically
>>81959642
So is Bagheera a black leopard, or a black jaguar? One would assume she's a melanistic leopard since there are elephants and such, but I've never read the book, so I have no idea.
>>81945841
I WANT TO FUCK FEM KAA
>>81959774
panthers are black leopards and are found in India too
>>81959774
He's a leopard. Jaguars don't even live in that hemisphere.
>>81945894
It didn't fit at all, they made Louie a menacing giant for this movie and then he starts singing this out of nowhere.
Porn when?
>>81949669
so it's shit then, gotcha
>>81945841
I want a Bagheera.
He seems so fluffy.
Plus imagine if your pet had the voice of a refined Oscar winner!
Life would be swell.
>>81954968
Walken is a noted singer and dancer.
I like Shere Khan went full /pol/ and began lecturing on cuckoldry and raising others kids.
>>81960939
He's the weapon of choice.
Did anyone else feel like the dialogue was too modern?
How can WB and Serkis compete with this? The other Jungle Book movie is dead in the water.
Serkis instead of Murry
Christian Bale instead of Ben Kingsley
Cummberbumber instead of Idris Elba
No King Louie at all instead of Walken singing.
And it is coming out as a movie that audiences just saw.
>>81945841
Bagheera a cute! Cute!
>>81956183
...What quirk?
>>81945894
They found a rhyme for gigantopithicus, those absolute mad men
>>81945841
Yes, it was like a Who Framed Roger Rabbit thing.
>>81956842
Disney is trying to lock down Faverau for a sequel. Gotta save some material for that, since I doubt he's interested in taking much from the animated sequel.
>>81961094
They'd be wise to delay it indefinitely. It's a guaranteed bomb at this point. Too bad for Andy though, he deserves a win.
>>81962629
In these sort of situations whichever movie comes out first will succeed.
That's basically a given.
Same with Olympus has fallen and White House Down.
The later was clearly the better movie, but the former came out first, grabbed all the boxoffice and got an even shittier sequel this year.
Even if Andy's adaptation is closer to the book and considered a masterpiece, it's bound to flop.
we're you hard?
I'm curious why so many of you watched it. It's almost everything /co/ claims to hate: a needless live-action/CGI adaptation of /co/ material made literally just to bank on nostalgia, featuring a bunch of non-voice big name actors who are only in it for the paycheck and for you to recognize their very distinctive speech patterns.
Even if it's a good movie it's not something I want to encourage with my wallet.
>>81962934
Ingredients are just ingredients, they aren't inherently bad.
Cakes made using the same formula but treat the ingredients wrong lead to disasterous recipes that gives a bad reputation for the cake type.
>>81945894
I can't not crack up listening to this.
>>81962934
Jungle Book hasn't been tapped for like 50 years aside from some unremarkable live action attempts in the 90's.
Sometimes a remake like 3:10 to Yuma doesn't bother anyone because the original had in fact slipped into memory for a lot of people.
>>81962934
>Even if it's a good movie it's not something I want to encourage with my wallet.
>Not wanting to encourage good things with your wallet
Listen buddy, if this was Maleficent or Alice I would totally get you. But this is actually pretty good.
Besides this is the movie I watched the most as a toddler and they didn't destroy it? I'm amazed.
>>81949790
>>81950725
does anyone else find it hilarious that her being cast as the major in the ghost in the shell movie is probably the most fitting role she'll ever get, entirely because the major is supposed to be a jaded, stone faced robot
>>81964563
I want to encourage original ideas, not cynical cashgrabs that happen to be decent.
>Besides this is the movie I watched the most as a toddler
That's exactly what I'm talking about though.
>>81945894
It was oddly done though. He had a stone face singing it.
>>81962681
Kaa had no reason to be in the movie desu.
>>81961421
Probably "no child porn", even though this is not porn.
>>81965098
Actually, more like ScarJo had no reason to be in the movie.
>>81965098
Gotta get those voreaphiles on board sempai
Besideswhy else would you pay to see a live action jungle book other than to feed your sick fetishes?
>>81948961
It's closer to the book.
>>81965193
I heard it was good so I went to see it. I was gonna avoid it before hand. Ended up liking it alot. Great Shere Khan
>>81954968
>>>81945894
>whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, how the fuck is Walken nailing this?
Because he's CHRISTOPHER FUCKING WALKEN.
Duh.
>>81949790

>>81951811
>>81952351
>>81956418
>>81959601
>>81964742
So, it's safe to say then that none of you got the fact that her delivery was deliberate, because that was her hypnotizing Mowgli?
>>81965326
>So, it's safe to say then that none of you got the fact that her delivery was deliberate, because that was her hypnotizing Mowgli?
Oh...
OHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
>>81960106
>make Louie an Italian mobster
It's perfect
>>81958016
Are you seriously defending BvS
>>81965326
are you really defending scarlet johannson's terrible acting ability?
>>81945894
that is fucking awful.
>>81945878
>>81965421
I'm saying that for that role, she was the perfect choice.
My only problem with the movie was the climax. The animals forgave Mowgli too quickly for having burnt the jungle even if he got the animals to save it.
>>81945894
Weird. I was expecting some kind of gritty approach with this movie, something like this would be totally out of placeand it's fucking amazing for this reason
>>81965724
Well, that Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie had that really dumb breakdance with Johnny Depp and it was one of the worst thing ever.
>>81945841
In terms of being faithful to the original it had all thebare necessities.
>>81965664
You have to keep in mind that jungle fires aren't exactly uncommon. In fact, it's a part of nature that parts of the jungle/forest will regularly burn down and grow back from the ashes. Mowgli accidentally starting a fire is more of an inconvenience than anything long term damaging.
Do you think Shere Khan fathered any cubs?
Did anyone else notice Louie had a cowbell in his treasure pile? Made me cringe desu senpai.
>>81958016
Christ alive, we're going to be dealing with you faggots for a while, aren't we?
>>81945841
Not /co/
>>81957979
Kaa was pretty scaly tho.
better than BvS
>>81965489
Jesus christ, he's not even singing anything. "A man like you-ou-ou-ouw".
Fucking slow and aweful lol. If you want to hear it covered right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdCslA8xs98
>>81966553
agreed. wish mods would banish all movie related threads.
>>81965550
Like Keanu Reeves in The Day The Earth Stood Still and John Wick
Is it OK for Mowgli to fuck the animals once he hits puberty? I mean, they are clearly sentient and have the ability to tall him yes or no, and they consider him part of their pack so it's bound to happen sooner or later!
And who wouldn't want to get it on with this hottie!
>>81960652
>https://www.scribd.com/doc/65988731/Pyrenee
never you sick fuck. jesus christ, what the hell is your problem, do you have brain cancer or something? why would you want to look at something like that?
>>81965755
Christopher Walken is better than Johnny Depp
>>81967622
jesus christ, you furfags sicken me. is there nothing you won't besmirch with your touch? fuck off!
Vore fag here. Would I get a boner watching kaa's scene in the movies?
>>81967115
>Like Keanu Reeves in The Day The Earth Stood Still
They changed the entire point of the fucking movie and it was a horrible remake. You can't blame it on Keanu
>and John Wick
He was perfect as John Wick though.
>>81967923
Nah, the scene is too short for that. Hopefully we'll see more of her later!
If giant noble wolves give you a boner boy howdy is this the movie for you though
>>81965098
Kaa never had a reason to be in the story outside of the book senpai
