Movie Review Homework

Disney’s new take on The Jungle Book is gorgeous but under-conceived

3. I'd rate the movie review an 8/10.

4. The review really stresses how good the filming and screenplay is, from the realism of the animals to the talent of the scenes.

5. Although this movie is very good, the review criticizes how the film doesn't contain any of its own elements. The movie is simply a remake of the old film, making it less original.

6. "...there are no moments of weightless perspective; perhaps what makes The Jungle Book so convincing—so effective as simulation—is that the camera never defies an audience’s expectations of how a real camera moves, even though it’s not always a real camera, or how real animals look, and even though there are no real animals."

The Huntsman: Winter’s War is more fun than its wan predecessor

3. I'd say the movie was rated a 6 or 7 out of 10.

4. The author of this article claims, as I haven't personally seen the movie, that it had better pacing, livelier characters, and special effects than its previous films.

5. Some low points that the author expresses are that the movie feels old-fashioned, and that the actors could have been better.

6. "It’s inarguably a waste of time; both its stars and its audience probably deserve better. But sometimes wasting time can be fun in the right company."
