6/10

Rating: 6/10 (12 October 2019)

Pros -
1. The cgi is incredible, it looks gorgeous.
2. Kept to the storyline and didn't really change it much other than a few little scenes and voice lines
3. For those saying it didn't keep to the emotional level.. yeah, agreed but it's still a heart ripping scene when simba lies under his dads chin! (Gonna be a con too)
4. I was shocked that it was better than I thought it was gonna be.. lion king is my favourite Disney film and didn't agree that this film should be touched but they didn't do a half bad job!
5. Kept to the original songs (this is gonna be a con too though!)
Cons -
1. They got James to re-play mufasa! Awesome!! But why not get Jeremy Irons back to play scar?!! No one has that sly sinister voice quite like Mr Irons has!
2. BeyoncÃ©.. now I like BeyoncÃ© but she killed her part.. her voice didn't suit nala at all! Her voice in the songs were to over powering like she was trying to "stand in the spot light"
3. Aaaand here's the con for the emotional one... I found the voice lines wasn't as passionate as they were in the original and I found Mufasa's voice had more umf/power in the original like it was deeper and a lot more king/dominant lion like.
4. I loved scar having his black Maine in the original.. it made him look the part.. yet they didn't give it him in the re-make? Wtaf..
5. Aaaand here's the con about keeping to the same songs... they got different people to re-do them and they killed them compared to the original, yeah I get that they're gonna change things up but man, the songs just wasn't no where near as good as they were.
In all, it was better than I thought.. so ima give it a 5.5/10 (had to put 6/10 to round it) but the original is a solid 100/10. The best Disney film ever made.
