Review of The Lion King (2019) by Franzhcritic — 09 Aug 2019

This remake is, "a rather uninspiring thing." The visual effects team on this film deserves all credit given to them, but everything else stops short. I won't deny my bias at reviewing 'Lion King', growing up on the original.

I can never fully appreciate this new CGI film, but that doesn't change the fact that it's bland, soulless, and completely unnecessary to make. I like the traditional animation of the original, and the original voice cast.

I mean, come on. No Jeremy Irons?. The saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" comes to mind perfectly when describing the new 'Lion King'.
