Enjoyed the movie. Suitable for children and adults. The CGI animals and jungle were very good. I especially liked the plans to get the honey from the cliff tops. Very clever.

Visually impeccable, the 3D adds to the movie and the animal designs are great. Animal sounds are also great, but the songs are okay at best. The movie is a bit too linear and with some scenes are too short for my liking. Neel Sethi did a good job as Mowgli.
Overall, a good movie for the whole family, but there are scenes that could be quite scary for some young children. Still, there are enough light-hearted and funny moments in the movie for them too. It will give older Jungle Book fans an urge to read Kipling's novel again (or for the first time) or watch the older Jungle Book cartoons and movies once more.
On another subject: for Tribute.ca staff, adding the half-star to the rating system would be much appreciated. I would actually rate it *** 1/2 star out of five.

This film was a really lovely update of the older animated Disney feature. I loved the empowering ending (won't say too much more - no spoilers!). My five year old found it a bit scary at parts, and not as entertaining for her age group as the Disney animated films - but I think older kids will absolutely love it.

The one cute little boy was raised in the jungle & went through such an adventure to make his point stand throughout: living with nature where he felt safe with love & protection of the jungle law...
I walked out of the theatre feeling in awe of how brave Mowgli did with all his survival skills..
Beautifully done in 3D attracts me from the start to the end of movie.
