Amazing graphics not supported by voice acting

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2019)

Okay, the movie looked incredible. I didn't mind the different look for scar either. Thought he actually looked remarkable in the end. BUT this movie almost sticks to the same script... ALMOST. Except when it comes to the most touching, memorable scenes, they change the dialogue for the worst.
When Mufasa shows Simba the pridelands, it doesn't need to be beefed out by nonsense. The original was perfectly fine, but they've made that scene too verbose.
When Scar is talking Simba about the elephant graveyard, and Simba talks about becoming King.
Be Prepared song is destroyed
Mufasa death scene dialogue from Simba, changed for the worst.
I did like the addition of the Nala escape scene.
Oh man, when Nala finds Simba.... She pins him, he reckognises her, and then she reckognises him! How, why, what the even??? She's been told Simba is dead... and the second a male lion says her name she knows that it is Simba? Come on.
When Simba yells to his dad after he talks about the stars. 'you said you'd always be there for me!' - gone. He now doesn't say anything.
Rafiki , he knows Simba is alive because he looked at a tuft of hair. That's it. He knows it is from Simba and he is alive... because he looked at it. At least in the original he used witchy poo magic to study it to find out Simba was alive.
The meeting between Rafiki and Simba, far less poignant. It was lackluster. Just let Rafiki hit him over the head with a stick... Or I guess they don't want that in there because kids will be watching?? There was no point to dulling down the profound meeting between the two.
I kind of liked when Simba declared he was the son of Mufasa. That was one little nice change Ididn't mind.
The song playing over Simba running back. Lame. Change it.
Someone please, for the love of god... tell the damn writers that the pack of lionesses ARE NOT LIONS. They're not lions. Stop calling them lions. They're lionesses. I literally face palmed. I couldn't take it. THEY'RE NOT LIONS.
Scar tells Simba that he killed mufasa, how the hell did Sirabi hear what Scar said. Seriously... .how the hell did she hear what he said. Just don't add it. Keep to the original. The new version is ridiculous! Sirabi couldn't have heard.
The random beef between Nala and the head hyena (can't remember her name) Where did that come from? There was nothing between those two. The hyena wanted to eat Simba once. There was nothing personal between Nala and hyena face. Interesting addition, they could have developed that rivalry more... but they didn't. So it was random.
Scar pleading for his life. BORING. I faded out and stopped listening. Something about how ugly the hyenas were. Just call them enemies. Just do it. But no. The hyenas killed scar because he said they were ugly. Whatever.
The voice acting was sub par. It was like they were on their hundreth take and they'd gotten bored.
Best voice acting was from Seth Rogan. Loved the new pumba. Only improvement.
