Feels Soulless. It removes everything that made the original special.

Rating: Null/10 (5 August 2019)

This movie basically ruined every aspect of the original that i loved...
It ruined the Hyenas, it ruined Scar, it Ruined the comedy, it ruined Timon and Pumba.
Yes, this movie is basically a "scene for scene" remake of the original, it copies everything directly from the cartoon.
But they took out all the charm and all the humor that the original had, while not adding anything good.
All of the comedic elements of the first one are gone, the hyenas are not fun anymore, they are just cliche genetic villains with no personality.
Same goes for Scar, hes not intimidating or interesting anymore. He sounds tired and old. All of the wit the character had is gone.
The entire movie is like this. They removed all the little fun parts and all the humor and the little details that makes the original so iconic.
Even when timon and pumba try to do humor, it comes as soulless. They end up being annoying instead of charming. Specially pumba. He was very annoying.
Sure the cgi might look great, but at what cost? They focused so much in making the animals look so realistic, that they forgot to add a soul to the characters. They forgot to add any of the humor of the original.
This is just a soulless cgi clone.
