My childhood feels betrayed

Rating: 2/10 (19 July 2019)

First of I really did try to give this movie a chance. I have seen the original film hundreds of times and seen the Broadway musical as well. Being that the Lion King was my favorite childhood movie I really wanted it's remake to be amazing, unfortunately for me it was a big disappointment. The visuals were stunning and in many cases were the closest this movie got to the original. The cast seemed to lack the chemistry of the original cast and the performance came out feeling flat. Couple that with changing dialogue, missing important dialogue and even changing the fundamental nature of the hyenas this remake missed the mark and didn't come close to the greatness of it's source material.
