A good movie

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2019)

I think we can all agree that the movie is visually stunning and some of the scenes were just absolutely magical. No more needed to say about the visuals.
I don't understand why people keep saying they "forgot to animate the emotions", I did see the emotions. You don't expect a lion to cry do you? Maybe they were a bit more subtle than in the original but they definitely were there.
I think a lot of these negative reviews are driven by the "the original is my childhood favorite and the best so this remake MUST be crap" mindset.
There were also negative things about the movie of course. One of the things that bothered me were the voiceactors. Honestly casting Beyonce as Nala was a mistake in my opinion. Other voiceactors were mediocre/good and the singing sings weren't bad either. Maybe except for the "can you feel the love tonight" song, just sounded a bit weird in my ears.
I'm not sure why but I cried through out the whole movie and it really hit me in the feels. All in all, a good movie and I recommend going to watch in the cinema so you get to see the CGI in all it's glory.
