Movie is only good because it is a shot for shot remake of an already good film

Rating: 6/10 (28 July 2019)

This is Lion King with nice HD graphics. There is maybe one or two new scenes that help flesh out the story, but if you have seen Lion King, you have seen Lion King (2019).
The music is still pretty epic, but there is a very weird out of place pop song towards the final 20 minutes that just did not mesh well. Another issue is that "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" was performed in this movie during the daytime, so the lyrics made no sense at all. People already talked about the facial emotions of the animals and and angry lion, sad lion, or happy lion look the same. I would just prefer them to make it a little bit "fantasy-like" and just have these lions emote better with eyes or mouths.
This movie kinda ruins some of the classic scenes, like the final battle was cool and a lot longer, but Simba and Scar's final showdown was better in the original. The remake didn't have the awesome slow motion slap that the original had.
Lastly they ruined the most classic scene in the Lion King, the "cloud" scene. In the original you saw Mufasa's face in the cloud cleary, but in this remake all you see are clouds and lightning, with a very very brief glimpse of Mufasa. It kinda loss the emotional impact.
Anyways it is a 6/10 because it is pretty much Lion King with god graphics.
