Superb....

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2019)

First of all, I am not a fan of the original and never seen the musical on stage but this movie is an easy 10/10 within his genre.
Overall, fantastic CGI, some terrific voice over like Seth Rogen (should take a few more singing lessons), Billy Eichner, the kids for the young Simba and Nala and most others. But most of all James Earl Jones and even more so Chiwetel Ejiofor was spot on as the baddie. Scar is easily one of the greatest written villian of all time and boy did he bring him to life.
I agree there certainly would have been better choices as beyonce.
I will not spoil the additions the movie included to the original and musical, but all were extremely funny or enjoyable.
10/10 within the blockbuster genre does not mean it is perfect, but it is fantastic in my mind.
