A lion's share of criticism

Rating: 6/10 (1 August 2019)

I wanted to love this movie because i loved the original so much. It was my favorite Disney movie as a kid (and still to this day to be honest) but it was just so bland. Maybe my expectations were too high but it was just lacking something and I'm still not quite sure what it is. Some scenes felt forced or robotic. While some songs were great others (Scar's) were a flop and though the CGI effects were good they could have been better. I thought they were going to make Mufasa more grandiose...and i won't even comment on Beyonce as Nala because I'm still upset about that. Thank God for the classics and the 90s! Bring originality back Disney!
