A Decent Remake

Rating: 7/10 (23 July 2019)

It's as far as you could go with real life animals invoking animated spirits.
Had good amounts of scenes with near perfect executions especially the dark ones. The characters themselves were just fine. Everything involving Beyonce was cringe.
It just didn't seem to hit the soft spot like the original. Mufasa's death should have been profound. The original fleshed out a sigh of disbelief during the whole encounter. Plus Simba's crowning should have been more prestigious. Can't believe they wasted Hans Zimmer's soundtrack with such B grade scenes.
Really loved the Hyenas' new outlook though. Looked wonderful.
All in all, there's nothing too much to notice here. Anyone who's watched the original will not miss a thing.
