Awful.

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2019)

I went in with an open mind, but as soon as I saw Scar with the mouse and he said his first line I knew I was going to hate it. One of Scar's best lines "Long live the king" was absolutely butchered, the delivery felt rushed, and emotionless. The voice acting for almost the entire cast sucked a lot. I liked Donald Glover as Simba a lot actually, and Seth Rogan as Pumbaa wasn't really here nor there, didn't hate it but didn't love it either. Even James Earl Jones didnt perform very well, and he was the orginal Mufasa. A lot of the lines from the original felt like they were thrown in there in a spot that made them sound forced and just not right to me. I ended up leaving when I saw they took out Simba and Rafiki's talk...you know, the one that makes him go back to pride rock while simultaneously teaching him he shouldn't run from his past but learn from it instead. I was also really dissapointed with the music, I couldnt sing along how I ised to. While it looked stunning, literally everything else was lacking, there was none of that Disney Magic in this remake.
