Original remains superior.

To be honest after watching Aladdin (2019) I didn't had much expectation from this one as I figured, first of all Disney had guts to remake such a great classic and then spoiling it real bad, they won't hesitate to do it another time.
For Disney this films are just profit and loss statements. They don't worry about public emotions, the Whistles, the tears and the cheering anymore, they just want there profit.
The Lion King is another such example. It didn't had any emotional depth or intensity, it was quite hollow. I didn't fell anything when Mufasa died, I didn't fell anything when Simba returned from exile and moreover the animals didn't had any facial expression on their faces, we could only figure out their emotions through their tone. Hand written images were far better in this aspect.
But they definately used their $ 260 million budget effectively, the VFX and CGI were damn good, much better than Aladdin (2019). The film was not at all bad, its quite enjoyable with great musical score you would definately feel nostalgic, but is this point valid enough to consider a film good , no, the film even have to score well in technological aspect, cinematography was quite average and the film was rushed at some parts, especially after half time.
Just imagine if this would have been the original Lion king, it would have never even crossed a billion-dollar mark.
But If you have planned to watch it and my review is holding you from that, then don't hesitate, its surely worth a watch.
