Pseudo Live action remake (or should that be re-telling?) of the 1967 Jazz-tastic Disney original, with a star studded voice cast that includes Bill Murray (as Baloo), Ben Kingsley (Bagheera), Idris Elba (Shere Khan), Scarlett Johansson (Ka) and Christoper Walken (King Louis).

It's rather weird, however, seeing/hearing these voices come out the impressive-CGI'd creatures: for me, a disassociation that the film never really gets over.

But, yes, the "Bear Necessities" and "I want to be like you" both do get a reprise in this movie, but neither version can hold a candle to the original.

What goes around comes around
A sequel rarely stacks up against the original but in this case, it does.
A plot almost identical to its predecessor which quickly changes saving the movie from a copy paste review.
This better take on inception (because inception sucks) adds players to its life and death game starting off at day 1.

Includes original cast and new members, with a faster pace than the 1st, happy death day 2U is a rollercoaster of fun.
If you enjoyed the 1st, you'd be outta your freaking mind to miss this.

Dark humorous tone throughout.

This series has managed to keep the elements that made the original film such a cult classic. (0 more)
Such epicness
I went into this wondering if I would enjoy this. The film was one of my favourites growing up even though I'm sure it scared the bejeebus out of me. The series managed to hold on to all the elements I loved from the original movies whilst stepping up and became something new. They would not have achieved this if they had used any other medium. The puppets were brilliantly made, used and just a joy to watch.

2002 follow-up to the 1997 original, again starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, that initially starts as an inversion of the dynamic from that earlier film: here, it's Will Smith's Agent J that tis the experienced one, and Tommy Lee Jones Agent K (who had his memory wiped at end of previous film) that is the newly-on-board member.

For some reason, it also seems to miss quite a bit of the charm of that earlier movie - I'm not sure why, unless it's the somewhat-dodgy early noughties effects, but it just doesn't land as well as the original.
