Great movie that only missed on a few things

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2019)

First and foremost this movie is great..anything lower than a 7 wanted an exact replica of the original. The only real misses were the intro song, which they should've left for a legend like Elton John, and the lackluster first 15 slow minutes of the movie. Timon and Pumbaa, believe it or not, were somehow much funnier than the original, and the best part of the live action version. The Elephant Graveyard scene was unbelievable, and the Gorge scene, as expected, was earth shattering. Beyoncé was a strange pick for Nala, and they should've kept Jeremy Irons as Scar (although his replacement did a great job), otherwise I think the casting was fantastic. Great adaptation of the original
