I just came back from seeing this movie recently. I remember watching the animated version as a child, as well as reading the book. This movie was phenomenal and I urge everyone to go see this movie. After being disillusioned by Disney's past live-action attempts such as Maleficent and the Cinderella remake- this movie single-handily restored my faith in Disney and the live-action phenomenon. The cast is star-studded and everyone puts in a great effort. Idris Elba, Scarlett Johannson, Ben Kingsley, Bill Murray, and Chris Walken. Mowgli was phenomenal. The kid killed it. It was probably one of the best child-actor performances I've seen in quite some time. Given the fact that every character besides him is CGI - I was thoroughly impressed. He captured the child-like essence perfectly, and never felt as though he was simply reading off lines. Awesome film. Probably my favorite Disney movie in the past 10-15 years.
Tell me what you guys think of it.

Looked pretty good just by judging the trailers. I'll probably go watch it later in the week.

It was an ok movie, it seemed very short to me. Scarlett Johansson only had about 5 minutes of screen time, it's been along time since I've seen the cartoon but I recall "Kaa" being a bigger character in the film. Either way I enjoyed it, the visual effects where done great and like you said the kid that played Mowgli did a great job.

Was incredible. The animals even though they were speaking, looked and felt horrifyingly realistic. I loved Christopher Walken as King Louie! I'm a Disney fanatic but I am skeptical about live action stuff (i.e. Maleficient) but this was about the best they have put out in a while.

Saw it Saturday night and I absolutely loved it.. Other than King Louie breaking out into song, I thought it was almost perfect.

I don't know how I feel about Disney remaking their classic animated movies into Live Action films

I don't know how I feel about Disney remaking their classic animated movies into Live Action films Considering how well Jungle Book and Cinderella were I cannot wait for more. I really wish they would greenlight a live action Aladdin

I absolutely loved it. I went in with high expectations, given the reviews, and it still completely blew me away.
