The wife wanted to see this and since it's $3.25 movie day I figured what the heck. I could use a nap. I vaguely remember the animated movie and expected this to have the same gravitas. It didn't.
Holy Schneikes What a surprise! It was AWESOME!
Jon Favreau might be one of the best directors in the business. The CGI was excellent, the plot line had some dark turns, along with some cuteness and humor. The vice talent was excellent. The music, well...
There are some pretty violent animal fight scenes that might be upsetting to some kids so you might want to check it out before letting young 'uns watch it. .
I can't recall being so drawn into any movie lately like this one did. I was almost hypnotized.
It's better than you think. Go see it.
