If this version is your first time watching The Lion King, you will not understand the ones who love the first Lion King from 94.

Rating: 2/10 (9 September 2019)

This was a great opportunity for the movie makers to capture the magic from the original Lion King from 94 in CGI quality and better overall screen technology. Instead, they had a need to make so many unnecessary changes which completely destroyed this version. Why so many changes? Because they wanted to make something new? Because they wanted to create something original? What a waste. Nothing compares to the original, nothing new was needed!
Many times I got disappointed, when I thought a scene would be exactly as I remember from the original. They took out the best parts. There is only 20% of Rafiki's personality left in this movie. Rafiki is supposed to be a naughty, funny monkey who slaps Simba on the head with a stick when he is teaching Simba a lesson. Even the part where Mufasa is talking to Simba from the clouds, they have taken out the most important sentences he said in the original. Scar's singing is laughable, overacting trying to be the villain. And for Zazu....only Rowan Atkinson can do Zazu!
And why Beyonce? This definitely had to be someone else. Beyonce's well known voice is completely changing the vibe over this movie. The best role and voice go to Mufasa, yes from the original, they got 1 thing right.
