Great remake, nothing is perfect!

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2019)

Really looked forward to this movie because I have so many great childhood memories and I think this film really performed. If you go to this movie you really need to keep an open mind, don't expect The Lion King from 1993 because then you will be disappointed. It's photo-realistic so it loses some of it's character, but makes up for it with beautiful shots.
Personally I the voice-acting was decent and I liked the voices themselves, they fitted the character very well. With Beyonce's sound the songs really came alive and found them even better than the original songs.
I see a lot of 1-star reviews who say it's the exactly the same, other reviews say it's nothing like the original. I found the updated film very different from the original with some scenes longer than the original, others shorter. All in all they captured the important scenes very well.
The only critic that I would have to agree on is that the death of Mufasa didn't really have much emotion in it and the zoom out with Simba felt weird.
