Pointless remake, strange average review score

Rating: 2/10 (23 July 2019)

This really was not worth making. The first one was a masterpiece, so the thinking behind a carbon copy with different performers and visuals is baffling.
I might be in the minority, but the stage show did little for me - a lame remake. Somehow this film gives me the same feeling.
when I flicked through hundreds of reviews on IMBD, I see that other reviewers are panning it beyond belief. How it is achieving an average score about 7 can only be explained by the number of people giving it an undeserving "10".
Awaiting more original content rather than remakes. Some classics should simply be left untouched. They could do a bonanza remake of Mary Poppins with unbelievable effects, but redoing a historical masterpiece is unnecessary - as is the case with the Lion King.
