No magic

Rating: 1/10 (29 October 2019)

I was happy to finally have time to sit down and watch this movie. I've really enjoyed the original over the years and hoped to enrich my overall enjoyment of the franchise.
As I watch,ed I kept waiting and waiting for the movie to pull me in and get my attention. But I felt nothing. There is no magic at all, absolutely no connection between the movie and the viewer. I felt nothing when Mufasa died, no excitement or satisfaction when Scar went down. There was no passion or real connection between Simba an Nala. It's like they just turned the computer on and run it through the animation.
