Disney, please stop.

I kinda made a promise to myself after seeing the Lion King remake: I am never to pay money to watch another Disney live action remake ever again.
While it might be somewhat excusable to remake other Disney movies, you guys shouldn't have touched The Lion King. The original Lion King was like top tier Disney and one of my favorite movies. But the new one here, it has no soul, it has no energy.
I was constantly bored during the movie, as it was a shot-for-shot remake of the original, and it just seemed to me that they were trying to rush all the classic lines out. Some might argue that, classic as the original is, it might be unwise to make changes to the remake. Well, here's a simple and clear solution to that: SIMPLY DON'T MAKE REMAKES.
The graphics are amazing, and the world the animators created truly feels real with insane detail. However there is no soul in anything, and as the Lions all have realistic faces, they show little to no emotions! So you could actually hear the actors trying their best to give an effective performance, but the dullness on the lions' faces just contrasted it so much it became weird, cringey even.
They took out some of the humor in the original, and tried to make this movie overly serious and epic and big, but in reality nothing works and everything is worse! At the end of the day it is just a boring, dull, sleepy movie. Even the kids in my theater got so bored they started chatting and were paying no attention to the movie.
I shall not watch anymore of these life-action remake, they have no purpose and they are always worse than those dreamy, beautiful original cartoons. Please stop, Disney. Come up with original content, for God's sake.
