Meh for most

Rating: 4/10 (26 July 2019)

I DID love the opening scene. I'll admit it. It brought me right back to being 14 and being at the theater seeing the original. I also LOVED the fact that they played the original score throughout. THATS the music I loved. Sigh, as to the rest...
The ONLY reason I chose to see this in theaters rather than wait for dvd release was James Earl Jones. I thought the casting seemed weak for the shoes they had to fill. I thought Seth Rogan did well though with the script he was given.
The fact that they left SO many crucial lines out though. IE; Follow old Rafiki, he knows de way, the entire in the past scene, OMG the soft it is time line at the end!!!!! I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts fiddly dee, I know I'm missing a bunch, but u get my point. And scar's long live the king line was AWFUL!!!!!!!!!
Can you feel the love tonight was flippin terrible. Period.
The scenery and cinematography was beautiful but the heart wasn't there.
