Bagheera Vs Venom : What Role Does Sir Ben Kingsley Play?

The animals are all played well by a-list performers. sir ben kingsley plays bagheera with genuine authority and conviction, bill murray plays the old lethargic slacker to perfection, lupita n'yongo plays the motherly role of raksha like any real mother should, and idris elba makes shere khan really feel like a genuine threat when you detect every ounce of vengeance and malice in his voice. i'm really grateful they included the two most memorable songs from the cartoon as well and hard to believe that bill murray would actually sing "the bear necessities".

Ben kingsley as bagheera and idris elba were fantastic and were only ones who held their weight. walken did great too but he had far too little screen time. despite these three good performances i can't help but feel terribly letdown by the glaring weakness of mowgli's character acting as well as that of baloo, who is arguably the movie's second lead.

His venom is less evil and threatening than his that 70's show character eric foreman. as much as i hate to say it arnold schwarzenegger's infamous portrayal of mr.freeze in batman & robin is oscar worthy in comparison. the pinnacle of this mistake is shown when we see topher enact a classic scene from the comics in which venom's article ego eddie brock lie in a church contemplating his shattered life, grace's portrayal makes this well written scene from the comics laughable.

I still feel venom is the strongest of the two characters. carnage is definitely the more evil. the person carnage takes control, cletus kasady, is a psychopath.
