One time watch only

Rating: 6/10 (19 July 2019)

This movie was overall good. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I don't know why they have to take movies that are already so great and remake them. I think that Disney should start doing new things instead. I grew up obsessively watching the lion king and I didn't get a very emotional feel to it like I did with the cartoon version and that's the problem when you recreate animals into live action. I did enjoy the circle of life, I think that they did that exactly to the T which brought me goosebumps but the rest of the film, not so much. Which was a shame because they could've done so much but didn't. I thought I was going to see more colors and dramatic angles just to give some more emotion to the movie. The music didn't have a fun feel to it like the original does. It was a good...I can watch the original 100 times over but this movie I wouldn't watch again. I also didn't think it was worth the money to see it in theatres.
Also tiny thing that I wanted to add, did we really have to see that beetle rolling the giraffe? I get it, it's live action but I mean... I didn't feel that was necessary at all. That fluff could've just flown in the wind and we would've got the message...... Odd....
