If you really want to see this, wait until it's out on DVD or streaming services. Lion King is one of my favorite movies, and I was really excited about it. As soon as "Circle of Life" ended, I was like... oh no, this is not going to be good. And it was NOT good.
The CGI was great, i guess... the animals were very life like, but you are creating talking animals, so why not just give them expressions? I dodnt understand that.
Every climactic in the movie just fell flat... Mufasa's death, Simba and Nala reuniting, Scar's musical number... it was all flat and almost boring.
And why, for the love of everything that is holy, WHY DID THEY SING CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT, IN THE DAYTIME???? Terrible!
The actors they chose were horrible, especially Nala and Simba. Horrible musical numbers! None of the musical hits even came close to competing with the originals. Beyonce's voice was so weak..
The only kind of upside was that Timon and Pumba were adorable and funny at times. But they cut out so many good taglines.
Anyway to sum up.. it was not. I left feeling very angry and unsatisfied. Disney really needs to just let the classics be classics and not try to redo movies that we already love. COME UP WITH NEW MATERIAL!!!
