Disappointed....

Rating: 3/10 (22 September 2019)

I love the Disney remakes, and I love the original lion king, so naturally I was excited to see it. Unfortunately, all the reviews on here about the movie having no emotion, are 100% correct. It was very strange. This was the first remake that I left the theater without being just amazed and excited with what I had just watched (unlike Aladdin, which is OMG amazing). I always cry when Mufasa dies...but not when I watched this. It just felt empty. And I also agree that it seems like they used the movie to push Beyoncé, she's talented, but she's no Elton John. The CGI was incredible. And I'm so thankful James Earl Jones voiced Mufasa, it wouldn't be the same if someone else had done it. The two guys who voiced Simba (young and adult) did a great job. Seth Rogan was great as Pumba! I liked Timon too. Overall, I'm sad that I paid to see this at the theater. Just wait til you can rent it if you haven't seen it. In a nutshell, emotionless but visually stunning.
