I can't drink this old wine

One sentence feeling: I
don’t like it. Mowgli’s last behavior made me think that the tiger really died unjustly. The core of the story wrapped in top technology feels terrible...
The "law" that runs through the beginning and the end is actually the highest human wisdom Is it...

and the sense of vision when King Louis went to the wrong set...

There will be spoilers below, but the film is impenetrable, in fact, there is no dividing line --- ----------------------------------------------

I hold the pole The big expectation is for "visual effects".
At this level, there is really no disappointment.

Since I haven't seen the original adaptation of the animation, I can't compare it, so I just talk about this movie.

When it comes to the likes and dislikes of a movie, the values ​​conveyed by the movie are an important measure. Of course, this thing is too different. The "Charlotte Troubles" that sparked a big discussion last year is an example.
Whether or not a movie should output positive values ​​guidance, this movie that is PG in the United States and tends to be family-friendly in publicity, I think I still need to be a little bit more demanding.

So this movie is terribly old at this level.

At the beginning of the movie, I can see the awe of nature, all things, and living beings.
Looking further back, if you hardly dig out the deeper meanings, there will be Mowgli's confusion about his own positioning of "who am I", and in the ignorant adventure, to confirm whether it is a wolf or a man, whether it is in the jungle or in the village.
Then came the finale, the ultimate battle with the villain Tiger, I was stunned.

If the "red flower" is only used as a prop to promote the narrative of the film, it is really a failure to use it.
If you forcibly adhere to it will have some deep meaning, for example, this thing represents the nature of Mowgli born as a human, brought the disaster of a prairie prairie, and also surrendered in front of nature.
And to be honest, Mowgli hasn't really come into contact with humans at all. His choice of wolf or human, forest or village has no way of talking about it. I don't think it is meaningful to discuss values ​​at this level.
Although the tiger's act of killing Mowgli is evil in the movie, the protagonist must unite with other friends to defeat him, can we not use such a separate method.
Besides, how much of Tiger's murderous heart is because of revenge, what about Mowgli?
After he started the fire inexplicably, because he threw the torch away, other animal companions came to help him?
For Mao! ! !
Besides these animals that helped him, the bear was because Mowgli’s human wisdom helped him pick honey, the elephant was because Mowgli’s human wisdom helped the baby elephant escape, and the black panther was because Mowgli was the human doll he brought back, the wolf. I won't say much about this wall.
I really can't understand it.

What does this movie show me? See their awesome special effects, look at the hair, look at the dynamics, look at the eyes.
Okay, I'm almost asleep when I see it. Really, I don't know if it is because of the lack of tension in the setting of Mowgli going to the human village. Although there are constant waves in the middle, it does not make people feel nervous at all.

To say that I was nitpicking about this movie, I admit it. The technical benchmark "Avatar", the essence of the story is ridiculed as the nail households resisting demolition, but the story of Avatar is wonderful, and it will not make people feel boring in the middle.

What's more, Disney also has a technically awesome "Zoo City" right in front. "Fantasy Forest" seems to have traveled from a certain time in the past.

Old wine in new bottles is nothing better than this.
And the old wine is so terrible.

    It's useless except CG, and Songjiang is now homeless, and it's still a national match. . . The main body of the brain supplement big bear is Uncle Benny, with the same big eyes and the same big eyes, and he will say ouch, let me go, cute!

    The special effects are really awesome, but the story is too mentally retarded, nagging, and disappointing.
