Amazing visuals, pretentious acting

Rating: 5/10 (31 October 2019)

This movie visually is really well done. There are several times where you will be watching it and just be in awe of how lifelike these things are getting nowdays they did a great job.
That being said, the acting by some of the characters is some of the absolute worst. In the disney movies the songs are far superior, partly because it's a cartoon, but moreso because the actors in it are having fun. You can hear it in their voices, it just sounds genuine, while in this movie many of the songs are so over the top and pretentious you can't stand it, simba in particular.
I think some of it has to do with the script, they changed some of the dialog from the original and so it just doesn't have quite the right tone in certain places.
The voice of Scar was very well done and the dialog they gave him was fantastic. Mufasa and zazu were as well.
Timon and pumbaa was just awful, and I usually love seth rogan in almost everything he does but both of those voices and dialog was just not right, probably the most boring and annoying characters in the movie, a complete 180 from being some of the most entertaining and lovable characters in the cartoon.
