Pretty Good Disney Live Action Film

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2019)

I don't know what all the hate is about? I personally enjoyed this live action very much. It stayed true to the story of the original the whole way through, making only very little changes, which I thought was good because The Lion King is such a classic that's loved by many and doesn't need to be changed at all.
Some minor criticisms I have with it are some of the voice casting. For example, Beyoncé's voice irritated me - especially her singing voice. It was hard for me to enjoy Can You Feel the Love Tonight because her voice was way too overpowering and the way she sings it just doesn't sit right with me. That's not to say she isn't a great singer, but just that I don't feel her voice really fit the song.
Otherwise, it is an enjoyable movie and sure it isn't perfect, but I don't think it deserves all the negative reviews it's been getting.
