No emotion

Rating: 4/10 (19 July 2019)

I was thrilled when I heard about this movie. I love the original and I was curious how they will deliver the same athmosphere and emotional scenes with realistic animals. Well they don't.
Every scene feels a bit rushed, I cried when I saw the original animated "remember who you are" scene and I was waiting for it to be even more powerful. It was lame. Simba seemed to be like "meh.. shut up dad" and then the scene was over. The potential was there, before mufasa's death scene I was like "oh boy im gonna cry" but same thing happened, it fell flat.
The movie would probably be good for someone who has never seen the original, but as a remake this is just disappointing. Music was good and the cgi is great though.
