Visually Stunning

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2019)

I'm a 41 year old mom, and brought my 9 year old to see it. He saw the first years ago. I was 16 when the original was released. I cried just as hard this time as last time. I also laughed more at Timon and Pumba, I love Seth Rogan and Billy Eichner. I gave the original 10/10, this one 9/10 because Beyoncé is a terrible actress. All I could hear when Nala spoke was Foxy Cleopatra from Austin Powers.
I see a lot of reviews saying there was no emotion - I'll say that about Simba and Nala as adults, but Simba and Mufasa still got me. Maybe I'm just older so I wasn't as emotional as some the first time around.
Either way, minus Beyoncé, very entertaining & visually stunning.
