If you like films which animals talk in: Lion king; Finding Dory; and Ice age, there’s a film called Jungle Book in 3D, this film has live action. Do your kids annoy you every single day, your family to? If so get straight off your bottom and leave your children with your husband (if you don’t have a family, just rush to the cinema) and watch this film in 3D.

The genre is a fantasy story, because you know that there are no talking animals in life. This 106 minute film is about an endangered man cub in the jungle called Mowgli (Neel Sethi) and who is attacked by a desperate tiger trying to kill him, called Shere khan (Idris Elba). Mowgli’s father died when Mowgli, who was a young man cub, was found by a black panther called Bagheera (Ben Kingsley) and was taken safely into the jungle where he was protected by Bagheera. He said, “If you can’t learn to run with the pack these days you will be someone’s dinner.

Then when Mowgli was getting older Bagheera gave him to the wolf pack and later after months at night Mowgli said he was going to leave the jungle, Raksha said “No matter where you go, or what they may call you, you will always be my son”.

The part that I didn’t like is Shere khan’s jump-scares and when he through Akeala (Giancarlo Esposito) off the mountain..

This film is going to stay 3D but if you have a TV which you can change the mode of 2D And 3D. I would expect it in 3D because everything looks so realistic. The camera shots are close ups, bird’s eye view, over shoulder and up of view.

The Jungle Book: I would give it a 9 out of 10 because of too much violence and this is a pg+7. I would recommend people who are over 7 to watch this film. Shere khan becomes really lugubrious because he’s finding it really hard hard to kill Mowgli.
