Brilliant adaptation

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2019)

This is a great scene for scene adaptation of the 1994 classic. The photo realistic animation is great and although there are some things that lower the rating from perfect adaptation (mainly the few added songs of Beyoncé's, and Scar's greyish fur instead of brown.)
The movie is just near a perfect adaptation (and besides most of the reviews for all the live action remakes of the Disney classic's is either they decided to do scene for scene copy of the original and it's hit or miss in reviews or they add its own unique things and it's still hit or miss, this movie is a mix of both and like I said aside from the Beyoncé songs.)
Final Verdict: while I didn't like Scar's new skin color change in the trailers and it still wasn't all that great that can be forgiven because brown lions aren't all that common compared to the other lions but the Beyoncé songs should've been done better or she should've been allowed fewer songs. That said Beyoncé performance as Nala was still good despite her original songs not being the greatest.
