Poor cast

Rating: 5/10 (7 August 2019)

I remember The Lion King as one of the most famous animation movie there was. I watched the first movie a long time ago but I remember my country's dub for The Lion King being recognized internationally, as it was appointed as one of the best.
To be completely honest I thought that this new remake was crap. It had its major, strong points and I am not going to deny that but when it comes to the final result it simply couldn't reach the public, generally. The voice acting, the most problematic topic in this movie, was a disaster. I don't think the directors behind it (or whoever chose these people to act on this) were trying to select the best cast for it. I think the whole decision was somehow rushed, or worse... They simply casted the "voice actors"/singers simply because they were mad famous.
Due to the terrible voice acting I think that the emotions of the characters were poorly developed and that hit me hard when Mufasa died. There was simply no emotion present in that scene coming out from the characters. Therefore, I think that people need to understand that voice acting really matters or otherwise we, the audience, will never be truly immersed while watching a movie or a series.
The music wasn't memorable, yet it doesn't mean that it's bad. It just wasn't outstanding or close to its original form. However, I thought some tracks were rather annoying and should have been put out, taking into account that some of them were sang by non-singers.
At long last, in terms of the final product, it simply seemed somehow rushed (specially on the important parts). To contrast with the rushed story, though, the CGI looked very good making this film way more appraised than it should be. Anyway, if you take out the bad dub this movie isn't as bad as I'm seeing it right now. I think it simply needed a bit more work. Also, make stories matter, not CGI.
