Absolutely flabbergasted, but lacks emotion.

Rating: 7/10 (2 December 2019)

I think the title says it all. Don't get me wrong, I was completely blown away by the visuals of this movie. But somehow, it lacks emotion, not necessarily in the fight scenes, but very definitely in the sad ones. I could not feel the sadness and despair of little Simba as he looses his father, for example. And why is "can you feel the love tonight" during the day? And why 1:1 copy the story of the original? A different twist and turn would have been welcome, as done in Cinderella. I have to watch this movie again, but as for now, this is how I feel about it.
