Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2019)

If you are going into this movie hating it then you might just, if you are going to get the exact same thing as the original you won't, only in some ways. This movie to me, was so amazing and I'm baffled as to why people are giving this a 1 like come on, that's so unfair! Anyway, I was sold! I've seen it twice back to back the night before it was officially released. Don't expect to see be prepared song, they cut it short into more of a speech. They show Nala leaving pride rock to get help, Zazu is not in a cage singing it's a small world after all, um-, Nala takes charge, Sarabi fights Scar back, Scar has more of a purpose and wants to interact with Sarabi to gain the respect for the other lions. Don't expect to see the same hyenas from the original, this time they have a fierce leader and she is Shenzi...

It was all about the Lion King so many supporters came. I can see why people are complaining about the lack of emotions, but after seeing it the second time I got the message. It's photorealism of a the actual jungle and animal Kingdom. If they made the animals emote it would've taken away the realism. This is the first movie to showcase realistic speaking animals. Yes the acting is dry, yes some of the songs were slightly weak. Timon & Pumba stole the show, Beyonce spoke well and sang great. Scar was less flamboyant too. Overall, I loved the film.
