Few reasons I don't give it a 10, millions of reasons why I give it an 8. Absolute delight, go watch it!!

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2019)

I don't understand why people have absolutely hated this movie. The only reason I'm giving it an 8 is because, as a lot of people have said, it lacks the character expressions that were present in the original movie. If you're familiar with the original movie you probably remember Simba laughing and crying. That's obviously missing here, which does regress the experience a little bit. But overall, it's the same beautiful story, CGI is second to none, Timon & Pumba are an absolute delight. Bit disappointed with Nala, it just feels like Beyonce talking. I'd still recommend just about everyone to watch this movie, the Circle of Life intro is an exact recreation of the original, which is an absolute delight!! Don't bother listening to people who've given it a 1-star because they think "the story is exactly the same as the original" or "the characters lack expressions like in the hand-drawn animation movie" or because "Disney has become a cash cow'". There's a few reasons why I won't give it a 10-star, but there's a million reasons I'll give it an 8!
