The Jungle Book

My Thoughts:

-    I loved this more than I thought I would! Great film! We rented it from RedBox, and I watched it twice before returning it the next day.

-    This movie is the perfect blend of paying tribute to the original Disney classic while creating something completely new and exciting.

-    I LOVED that they used some of the original music. The opening scene was awesome, and it just gave me chills.

-    I didn't think there would be any singing in this film, but I loved it when King Louie and Baloo busted out into song.

-    The CG is AMAZING! I can't believe how awesome this movie looks.

-    The cast was spot on perfect! I loved every single character. Each actor was perfect for their role.

-    Neel Sethi's performance was awesome! He is so talented for a little boy. He practically acted the whole movie in front of a giant green screen with green screen props. That is hard for a lot of seasoned actors. I'm really impressed. 

-    My only complaint is that Bagheera made a lot of noise. A panther would never make that much noise walking around the jungle. 

-    I wish the vultures had made an appearance in the film, but I'm not sure how they would have fit in. The movie is still good without them, but it would have been fun to see them. 

-    Great movie! I'll probably buy this.

The Scorch Trials

My Thoughts:

-    I thought Dashner's books couldn't get more ridiculous, but oh was I wrong! 

-    Wow! This movie was ridiculous and awful!

-    I was so bored! I actually looked at my phone to see how long I'd been in the theater. The movie just wouldn't end!

-    The movie is a completely different story than the book. The only similarities are the character's names.

-    I love that Alan Tudyk was in this film. I always like seeing him.

-    I also liked Janson's Irish accent. 

-    The zombies were bleh. I actually laughed when a zombie got kicked down a stairwell cause it was so ridiculous. 

-    The monkey cam was TERRIBLE! I could barely tell what was going on in some parts because the camera was shaking so bad.

-    I was so disappointed. I liked the The Maze Runner, and I was hoping the movies would give me the closure and answers I never got, but it looks like the movies are going to be just as/even more frustrating than the books. 

First movie in the Maze Runner series:
