20160429:
This live action movie based on Disney's The Jungle Book (1967) was a fun movie to watch.
In addition, the CGI animals looked realistic and beautiful.
However, as of 20170217, I would say that the movie was good, but wasn't memorable.
Netflix rates the movie for me at 4.8; I would want to give it a 4.2, but Netflix rating only takes whole numbers so I gave it a 4. On IMDb, I gave it an 8, which is greater than it's current rating of 7.5 across 183,524 user ratings.
Trailers: The Secret Life of Pets (2016), Ice Age: Collision Course (2016), The BFG (2016), Finding Dory (2016)
