Enjoyable, does not deserve all the hate

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2019)

Beautiful to watch, great cgi, cute animals, several funny moments and good voice acting. What more can you ask for?
I even think most of the re-written scenes works better than they did in the original 1994 version, especially Scar's villain song. The hyenas are also scarier, but Ted is still a weirdo, so the main hyenas has really kept a lot of their personalities from the original movie. Wich is nice.
Favourite part has always been, and still is, the part og the movie where Simba is together with Timon and Pumbaa in that "bachelor jungle". This was AMAZING in the new movie, I even got surprized when Nala appeared, even though I knew she would show up at some point.
I can kinda see what people mean when they complain about emotions and facial ecpressions, but I do really think that if you are a person that is compassionate about animals you'll still see a lot of emotions in this movie even though the animals doesen't have human eyebrows and such. I felt kinda weird about it for the first few minutes, but when I got used to how their faces and bodylanguage worked I really didn't think much about it.
An enjoyable film. It really is worth a watch, or maybe three.
