Worth the watch if you enjoyed the original but it is a live action, my wife and I loved it, but agree Aladdin was better.

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 2019)

The battle sequences were very cinematically driven and promising. Altho it is an almost exact copy of the original, I felt this one stood pretty well. I loved the remake also went and saw Aladdin which was fantastic as well. Is it perfect of course not, but the acting was not as bad as people are saying. If you are only basing your response on the fact that it was gonna be as legendary as the original, then you will be disappointed. Overall I found it very enjoyable and loved the subtle humor throughout.

Possible spoiler ahead
The simba Cubs little tiny roar at the end was adorable.
