7/10
Entertaining movie but doesn't feel necessary
19 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Overall: This movie is a fun little heartwarming tale which will suffice you for it's shockingly short run time but feels pointless in the long run.

Good: The great characters from the original resurface with their signature personalities each equipped with great voice acting. The visuals have been drastically upgraded which I feel makes the movie lose the charm it's predecessor had. Some of the jokes made me laugh this time around and, in my opinion, the music is better. Don't hate me for saying that; The Jungle Book franchise is notorious for having great music, I just feel this movie has better music.

Bad: It feels pointless and vastly unnecessary. It is a sequel to a film fine on its own and that ended perfectly. As stated above, I believe this movie loses some of the charm from its predecessor. The human characters also don't have that much depth or many interesting characteristics. It also sadly suffers from the original's disease of 'poor climax' with this movie having slight improvements but failing overall.

Best Part: The song with Baloo in the monkey's ruins.
