Original > Remake

Rating: 4/10 (14 September 2019)

When I saw the trailer of the remake for the first time, I had goosebumps all over and super excited to relive my childhood. But unfortunately, the only good part of the movie was the graphics, as at some point I thought I was watching a real-life film (but only the very first scene was shot in real life while the rest was CGI). But other than that, it lacked emotions. For example, the musical scenes were all over the place, and the fact that the songs were not sung by the original singers was already disappointing. Not to forget to mention about the most critical scene in the movie that was supposed to be the saddest moment (Simba crying at Mufasa's death) it didn't touch me at all, while if you watch the original, no matter what your age is, you would at least tear.
Furthermore, as much as Bomba was funny and perfectly played by Seth Rogan, the character was badly CGI-ed, looked like a cheap quality and ugly character.
All in all, I only recommend this movie for the sake of beautiful graphics and to remember the story, other than that you'll be disappointed for the lack of emotions (even though it's the exact storyline as the original movie)
