A few awkward blips but a CGI masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2019)

I'll admit it, the star loss was because of Scar. He's just not as fun in this movie. HOWEVER, after sleeping on it, I love it. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't as good as the original, but it never would be. The original has all your childhood memories wrapped up in this. This movie kept the humor of Timon and Pumba, the emotions of the original storyline, and wrapped it up in a gorgeous CGI form. I left feeling nostalgic but also wonder at the effects. Most complaints I heard were the lack of emotions in the characters, but I didn't feel that. I cried all over again. Go in with an open mind, don't expect it to be the original, and enjoy the spectacle because it really is quite a view.
