Not as Good as Everyone Says.

Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2003)

When I first watched the Lion King back 8 years ago, I thought it was a pretty good movie, but not as good as everyone gives it credit for. Sure, it has a lot of action for a kids movie, and an excellent score from Elton John (this is coming from a Billy Joel fan), and even some comic relief in the form of Timon, among others. As far as the plot goes, it isnt really a very exciting plot for anyone over the age of 20, but kids will really enjoy the movie. The voiceovers were well done, especially the always dependable Matt Broderick, James Earl Jones, and Jeremy Irons.
This is a very good movie, isnt the best animated movie ever, but the kids will like it.
7/10
