Bomba and the Jungle Girl is a 1952 live-action film based on the series of Bomba, The Jungle Boy novels by Roy Rockwood. It is unrated and is appropriate for all ages.
The Good
Story. This film has a lot more story than the other films with a few twists than usual. This also has more content and less aimless walking.
Characters. The characters in this film have a lot more to them and the film spends more time developing a back story and motivation.
Peril. This entry into the franchise actual has peril and times when you wonder if things will work out.
Fight Scenes. This film had more fight scenes and better fight scenes than the previous entries in the franchise.
The Bad
Dialogue. Some of the dialogue was a little stilted and unnatural.
What I Would Like To Have Seen
I wish the dialogue were a little more natural, but that is more a product of its time than a complaint against the filmmakers.
Overall
Bomba and the Jungle Girl is a 1952 live-action film based on the series of Bomba, The Jungle Boy novels by Roy Rockwood. This film had a really good story with several twists, some not completely obvious. The fighting was more intense than previous films, and the pacing was fairly quick with a decent sense of peril. The characters in this film have a lot more to them than most films from this era, and the film spends time developing a back story and motivation for all the major characters. Overall, I enjoyed the film. I give it 4.5 out of 5 Boxes of Popcorn.
