I think a lot of the title confusion, at least for me anyway, comes from the fact that they were only released a few months between each other.

grim22 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 #17 Spoiler The Jungle Book One of 2016’s surprise hits for sure. Everyone expected it to be big, no one thought it would challenge the 1B mark. A complete breakthrough in terms of 3D, VFX and Motion Capture, Jungle Book also told a story everyone knows in a completely new way while keeping the appeal of the story intact. It was anchored by a great performance and some really good vocal performances as well. Pretty much a lock for Best Visual Effects Oscar as well. User reviews: Finally got around to see The Jungle Book. It's very apparent that Disney is in the middle of another renaissance. The film hits all the right nostalgic notes while appealing to modern sensibilities. The FX were top-notch, the writing sharp (especially for Shere-Khan) and there was a healthy balance of humor and drama. The Jungle Book is a keeper! A -Lilmac Incredibly moving film. This is right up there with ET as the best live action (so to speak) kids film I've ever seen. The voice acting was incredible. Idris Elba is one scary dude and Bill Murry, Ben Kingsley and Nyong'o were outstanding. Walken must of had a blast doing this as well. It had serious moments of tension and some shocking moments like when Shere Khan kills the wolf. I was horrified at that part. Basically from start to finish, I was hooked. The water truce was incredibly well done and the elephants were awesome and the kid is outstanding. I absolutely adore the film. 10/10 -Baumer 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User Reviews: Moonlight has been drawing comparisons to Richard Linklater's Boyhood, and it's not difficult to see why. Both films follow the journey of a young boy as he goes on to discover himself as he's grows up. This is a marvelous film that neither shies away from the ugliness that the protagonist, a black LBGT male, faces as he grows up (but neither does it wallow in the misery like most films of its ilk do) but never feels exploitative, and all of it feels true to life. We've encountered someone like Chiron at some point in our lives even if it was by passing a stranger on the streets. Especially phenomenal is the acting. The three of the actors who play Chiron, all relative newcomers, are magnificent discoveries, while Mahershala Ali and Naomie Harris deserve the Oscar nominations they will receive. Andre Holland and Janelle Monae are also superb. This is what the SAG Awards were made for, people. In addition, the film is impeccably-directed by Barry Jenkins (also the screenwriter); there are many, many shots here that are terrifically put together. I look forward to seeing anything Jenkins does going forward. Year after year (and especially this year), movies are released that hardly register in the brain after they're over. This is not one of those movies. This is a film that will stay with everyone long after the end credits conclude. See it as soon as you can. A - Filmlover It's been a long time since I've watched a movie that spoon-feeds nothing to its audience. The dreamlike mise-en-scene supports the emotional immediacy well. That's not to say that the spell never breaks. The Kevin in part II is a poor performance compared to the other leads. That's part of the reason I was so incredulous at one emotional crescendo and its rather hackneyed cuts. (Clenching fingers on the sand?) But overall, this movie is an A. - Cannastop TRIGGERED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a lot of them well made for what they are, but it's not something I actively seek out or excited about. For me, horror just always have that feel to them that's...cheap (which most of them are budget-wise, but that's not the only aspect I refer to) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 jungle book i've seen three times so more than any other 2016 release i think. it's the best possible version of what it could be. wasn't here at all for it from the idea but it's delightful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trifle Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Given where Moonlight and Jungle Book are, I suspect any dreams of Passengers making the list are in vain.... Well, at least it wasn't in the very bottom group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
