Just a a soulless copy...but it's pretty

Rating: 6/10 (24 July 2019)

Pro: The CGI was amazing and super photorealistic and...that's it
Cons: film was soulless. Acting was subpar. Voices on the animals seemed off, and more than half of the scenes seemed extremely forced. Nothing flowed or made sense. None of the characters showed any emotion and all I saw during these 2 hrs were flash back of the original. You would have thought that after Aladdin they would have learned that scene by scene copies don't work! You need originality cause otherwise you try to beat a masterpiece, and that's damn hard! No wonder Mulan chose to cut the songs and mushu, they want to create something that can stand on its own. Overall I was heavily Disappointed. So I recommend you wait for Redbox on this, or if you don't want to wait, put on the National Geographic lions and play the original lion king in the background cause it's basically what your gonna get. Or better yet, make some popcorn, get some pillows, and watch the original masterpiece at home.
