[@Jarsia]

Watching a movie on the big screen will always be an experience you cant recreate at home. I was born in 88. Star wars was 11 years old when I was born. Now I watched and was blown away by that trilogy as a kid, sure, but I know that watching a vhs at home on a little CRT tv will never compare to the experience of people of a previous generation who saw it at the cinema. It's not just about seeing it on a bigger screen, it's about getting caught up in the excitement at the time. I havent seen the remake, so I cant speak to the criticism, but lets face it, kids arent going to think as deeply on the movie as we will from an adult perspective. And in all likelihood even if parents feel it wont live up to the original they saw as a kid, they're still gonna take their kids to see it, because it's a movie they can take their kids to, and most will at least want to check it out. In short it'll make a lot of money because a lot of parents will take their kids, and since kids dont like to feel left out theyll ask their parents to take them so theyre not the only one in their social circle missing out on the experience. Yes theres nothing stopping kids from watching the original, but theres nothing stopping them from doing both. I remember seeing the original when I was 6. It was amazing. If I had kids I would take them to see this, and I would like to see it myself to see how it compares. Whatever doubts I have going in and whatever criticism I had going out wouldnt matter, because it wouldnt be about my feelings toward the movie, it would be about providing my kids with an experience they can remember. Popping a dvd of a movie that came out 15 years before they were born would never provide the same level of excitement.

The characters felt so flat and unenthusiastic. No charisma whatsoever. It honestly felt like watching some weird narration the whole time because the CGI is just too realistic. Childish Gambino and Beyoncé were plain awful in this movie. Absolutely horrible voice acting. Timone and Pumba were the only likable characters from this remake. The pacing felt super rushed and awkward. I find it weird too that none of the trailers really showed Simba talking prior to the movie coming out.. maybe they figured they made a mistake. This movie was a total let down.

Jordan Vallejo but they CAN motion capture the actors/actresses 😉 they’ve successfully done this in MANY live action CGI movies - remember Avatar? You don’t have to capture fake animals talking - because the animation has the capacity to capture the subtle face movements of humans to then translate into animals ...

They didn’t capture the true essence of each character I understand adaptation is someone else’s interpretation and their own spin off at the very least capture what made the character like able to everyone and stick to the main core what made the character who they are the look was beautiful magnificent but the story telling is half ass

[@julz3tt3]

Agreed with this review. The personality is lacking. There is no soul in this film atall. The 1994 animation was pure soul, passion and joy mixed with epic sadness and evil that gets crushed by the epic Destiny of Simba. Rafiki barely talks atall. He didn't get his stick until the end of the film and there was no humor in him. He was awesome in the original but the remake ruined him.

And don't forget they cut out the weight of the movie by cutting out the main dialogue almost as if they should have just made it a silent movie with a narrator to explain what was going on like a discovery channel with real animals.. lol If they would have just added some dialogue to give it some more meaning and meat it would have been better.

The lack of emotion with this style should've been obvious from the start. And since seeing the first teaser, I knew the lack of emotion would be very evident. And here's how anyone could tell from the start... Simply imagine Aslan from Narnia doing anything from Lion King. That's it. That's all I was thinking from the first teaser.

Translation: The 2019 version of The Lion King is pretty much Disney's version of the '98 "remake" of Psycho. Both shot for shot remakes of a classic devoid of pretty much any originality. Also, can someone please tell me why Scar wasn't voiced by either Jeremy Irons or Benedict Cumberbatch?

It's quite obvious Chris Struckmann and fans don't seem to understand that the aspects of the lion king wasn't all in the characters, it was in the transformations they went through, a heroes journey, reaching the Abyss as articulated by Nietzsche, the wisdom and benevolance in the idea of king and its collapse into the tryannical state, none of which would benefit from a director having their "own take" on the show which would decimate the most important parts of the movie.

Well, the thing is, if you ignore the fact that it’s a remake, then you can find lots to love about it. For example, Mufassa’s death (did i spell that right?). The camerawork, the music, and the dialogue, make it an intense, then sad scene and we can see why Simba is so traumatized, because he couldn’t see Scar. He thought it was his fault, leading him to run away, like Scar tells him to. It’s definitely a great moment in the movie, even the 2019 version. Another part is when Simba sings the song about how he cannot wait to be king. Simba and Nala are having fun, singing and playing with the other animals, and having Zazu be worried about them and losing them makes it even more funny. When they finally reach the elephant graveyard, it seems to build up to something sinister, that being the hyenas. An intense chase sequence happens, before Mufassa comes in and fights them off. What happens next is a heartfelt moment between Simba and his father. Mufassa makes it very clear that he is not happy with what Simba did, and that he was scared for the safety of his son, but at the end of the day, he still loves Simba, and they’ll still play around and this is great character building. I got all of that from the 2019 version. I haven’t watched the 1994 version yet, but I am planning to. EDIT AFTER WATCHING THE ORIGINAL: Wow. No you’re right, the remake sucks compared to this masterpiece. The original is a timeless classic. The remake just doesn’t understand that this story is meant to be animated, it needs good voice acting, and “Be Prepared” is a song, not a speech/chant/whatever the remake’s version is meant to be.
