Lion King - Review

Rating: 6/10 (19 July 2019)

If you love The Lion King, then you will most likely love this movie... well, because it's The Lion King. It's not necessarily a shot-for-shot remake, but it is very close. There isn't really anything in this movie that sets it apart from the original animated movie and a lot of people are going to be totally fine with that. As for someone who never was super connected to this movie as a kid, I needed this remake to add in some new stuff... something to give it its own identity. I didn't really get that with this movie like I did with the Aladdin, Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast remakes. Of course, the VFX are amazing and game-changing. The voice acting is great. Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner and John Oliver are total standouts.
I like this movie... 7/10.
