Never have I heard so much misplaced Whingeing - The LIon King is a triumph from beginning to end

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2019)

I am not one to be easily pleased, I am very particular, but generally if I really don't like something, rather than wasting more of my life discussing it.. I just won't watch/talk about it again, and I'll let others decide for themselves.
However on this occasion(and this is my first review), I felt genuinely compelled to comment, because I am so confused as to where any negative feedback is coming from. I simply cannot relate on any level.
This film was absolutely sensational. It's not an opinion. It's fact. If you don't like it, then you shouldn't have gone to watch a modern adaptation of the Lion Ling. It is everything anyone could have hoped for. If you think there was no emotion, then you must literally have a heart of stone. If anything it built on top of the foundations of the original, encompassing all of its achievements and so so much more.
Casting - the casting was obviously superb. If you think the acting was bad, thank god you aren't a casting director who actually has to make such decisions. Superbly executed dialogue throughout. The vocals were inspiring from beginning to end. This modern adaptation catered to the contemporary, making adjustments only where necessary to cater to today. The comedic writing and delivery was genius. Eichner and Rogen were flawless in achieving as much as anyone could hope in light of their iconic characters. If you thought there was too much spotlight on Beyoncé, then you are under appreciative of her talent. Perhaps consider that whilst she had no more dialogue than needed, as the viewer she remains in your mind because she really is just that sensational. In summary she just did more with what she had that others.
Cinematography - some of the finest work ever created. Powerful and emotionally charged through out.
It was gritty, real, raw, passionate, emotive and cathartic in all the best ways. I believe truly that any bad review is solely down to individuals insisting on having a controversial view.
Fortunately, no one cares. Well done to the production team.
Thank you - and go and enjoy it viewers!
