Deja vu

Rating: 5/10 (12 July 2019)

Honestly whatever you rated the first movie rate this one the same minus one. So much so in the opening sequence, I was worried we were going to Gus Van Sant remake.
The film is not really worth seeing in theatres. I would wait until it comes out on Netflix or Disney's streaming service, which I imagine is what all these live-action remakes that came out in 2019 were for. Ultimately it is bland and boring with a lot of the humour taken out of it, still no acknowledgement as far as I noticed to Hamlet or Kimba. The American actors, save for Jones who is Mufasa and Glover who did well with what was there, were the weakest part, Eichner especially. The non-Americans outshined their counterparts and gave their characters depth even though they had so few lines.
Ultimately the movie is underwhelming, and I would have liked to have seen more African born actors playing roles rather than singers with limited range.
