A decent remake! definitely worth the watch to old fans and new

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2019)

The Lion King is an all time Disney classic, it was a movie that didn't really need a remake but with all the remakes Disney is bringing out, they wouldn't forget this movie of course, but I don't think it was a bad idea to bring this to live action.
From my perspective this remake does still capture the magic of the original but not to its full potential, the cast is great! and I have no criticisms towards them.
The CGI is a major eye catcher and it is mind blowing!
Now one reason why the movie never fully captures the originals magic is mainly due to the animals not showing much expression, the amount of emotion the characters expressed in certain scenes in the original made it more emotional and effective but the fact they don't show much expression in the remake doesn't bother me because this is supposed to be real as its live action, as if they show too much expression it could come across as weird but I will admit they could have made the characters show a bit more emotion to make some scenes really stand out but thankfully the voices are perfect so that makes up for it!
In conclusion this movie doesn't really add anything new but what do you expect its a live action CGI remake its meant to be the same movie. I highly recommend you go watch this if you have the chance.
