Review of The Lion King (2019) by Akuza — 07 Sep 2019

Visually it looks beautiful, the story remains intact, most of the actors do a good job. The film on its own, is decent enough for anyone without any prior knowledge of the original, I wouldn't say it holds a candle to the orginal personally though. My main issues with the film are; majority of the cast just don't seem to show any emotion in their voices at all, especially young simba, looking like he wants to play when he should be distraught. the songs had no heart in them, especially scar where he was doing it more as if it was reading a book than rallying the troops.

The only good thing to come from this film are visuals and timon and pumba which are funny as usual.
