Stop hating just because it's trendy

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2019)

It was a good flick. Don't compare it so hard to the original. As far as remakes go I was happy. Most of the complaints here are the animals didn't show enough emotion or feeling. This is a "live action" style remake, I don't want to see true to life looking animals showing emotions they aren't capable of doing. I enjoyed the realism. I think they did well.
Only major complaint was I wasn't feeling nala's adult voice actor. Scar, Simba, Timon, pumba, all did a great job. Everyone's just being extra harsh because they hyped it too hard and let childhood memories skew their opinion. There is no way this should ever deserve any 1 star reviews. If you are that grumpy about it the movie gets a 5 alone if I watched it with the audio off.
