A little slow and boring

Rating: 3/10 (28 November 2019)

Watching the film it is hard to not compare it to the original. All of the iconic scenes are present, but overall, its not spectacular. The film spends more time showing scenery shots and ignoring the plot.
The best, new, part of the film was the casting of Timone and Pumbaa, Seth Rogan was great! But the best was Seth Rogan recording his lines, as seen in the bluray extras, he cracked up the director with his improv. That was better than the film itself. John Oliver, from Lion King 2, and Lion King 1 1/2, gives a great performance. James Earl Jones did a great job of reprising his role as well.
The animation was pretty good too, but overall its not the best movie ever made, it is worth the experience of seeing it, but the original animated movies are much more entertaining.
