Review of The Lion King (2019) by Tony1984 — 21 Jul 2019
If it was an original production in its own right then I would be more forgiving but its not. It's an exact remake of the 1994 animated classic but in live action. It pales by comparison. Live action Lion King, whilst technically excellent, doesn't have a fraction of the charisma of the original.
Talking animals need more human looking features to portray complex emotions. Animation just works better. That with some poor voice acting, especially Oliver and Eichner, leaves a rather uninspired production.
