Review of The Lion King (2019) by Jluis_001 — 23 Jul 2019

Ironically one of the greatest classics of Disney and one that will be a massive blockbuster is the film that comes to show the great failures of their live action remakes.

Undoubtedly this is the Lion King. We're watching the same film we saw animated, just now with real animals. - Obviously you know what I mean by real - The CGI work is incredible, I cannot say anything negative about it, but let it be clear that the conversion to live action doesn't work in everything and it will not work in everything.

I say this because there are more remakes of animated Disney classics coming and lately they haven't made anything memorable.

I can't say this film is that failure that many critics say it is because the story is good. We know it, because many of us like the original film, but exactly there lies the point: We already have the original film and the original works great. This remake brings nothing, absolutely nothing and that's where its defeat lies.
