This could have been amazing, but Beyonce happened.

Rating: 6/10 (21 July 2019)

In all fairness, the movie looks amazing, and purely on the looks the only thing that bothers me is that there is no emotions at all visible. Not the fear in Mufasa's eyes, or a smile when he's playing with the little cub.
I under stand that animals don't have the possibility to use that much expression.. but a lot more could have been done. A WHOLE lot more.
My other problem is Beyonce, I'm for sure not a fan of her except for a couple of songs that do show how talented she is.. but she is one of the biggest misses in this film.. her ad-libs and her annoying signature way of singing can you feel the love tonight would have made me walk out the theatre is I would have been alone...
The last part which has changed a bit is the moment that Simba see's Mufasa inside him and when he returns home.. all I can say is that the original did it better.. and there is no need EVER to make Beyonce sing any song in a movie unless it's crazy in love with Jay-Z.
I can't decide if this movie should be 5 or 6 stars.. the Hate i have towards beyonce's perfomance in this movie makes me want to give it a 5 or even a 4 star rating.
But in the theater, I have to say... I enjoyed the movie most of the parts.. There's countless of times where the expressions don't matter and where beyonce is not singing or doing her weird voice thingy..
So 6 stars, it's worth a watch for sure.. but people in Hollywood should really let Beyonce go.. she's not that talented on screen and I can name countless of people who would perform better, but Tessa Thompson, Zendaya or Leona Lewis, Rihanna, Alicia Keys and Kelly Rowland would have been better if you want a famous singer.
