Very good and enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2020)

First off, Will Smith is Not Robin Williams! He did very well not to try to be be. If you watch this movie without trying to compare it to the animated classic, you will enjoy it. Some of the songs are the same and well done, many scenes are the same as well. There is enough original material to catch the audience by surprise as well.
Unlike the Lion King, this was a good live action recreation of the animated movie. It does, however, fall short of being a new "classic".
