Beautiful, kind of lacking something

Rating: 7/10 (24 October 2019)

I finally got to watch this movie and after seeing the reviews I wanted to share mine. First, it's beautiful. I love seeing the animals like this, but I absolutely love the landscape more. Second, I love Donald Glover and I think he did a great job as Simba. Same for Seth Rogen, John Oliver and Billy Eisner. Okay, I did not care for Beyonce. She just doesn't have a great acting range. She lacks emotion, but she doesn't carry this movie so I don't mind. I needed a little more sass from Scar too! The songs weren't exactly the same but I didn't mind. Disney has been repackaging their movies to make money and you can bet your rear they'll do it again with Lion King in another 25 years. They play on out nostalgia and we're suckers because the "original" was so good.
