The Lion King...6/10
Genre: Animation, Adventure, Drama


The movie was clearly devoid of emotions. I really tried to have those feelings i had for the original, but i couldn't. No offense to Beyonces' fans, but the fact is that her performance as regards the songs she sang were below average, IMO, hers were no where near the performance of those who did the music in the 1994 animated flick of the same name. CGI was ok though but not great, the voice act wasn't all that bad, at least the voice cast behind Mufasa, Scar, Pumbaa, Timon really did good.

I don't know why people keep going on and on about 'emotions'. This movie is supposed to be 'live action' and I have tried to imagine my dog smiling, but can't. The fact is animals have a very limited range of facial expressions and I'm pretty sure that's what the producers were trying to convey. Their emotions can be conveyed through their posture and body movement, nuances in the sounds they make and slight alterations in their facial expressions, so expecting live action animals to look like and behave like their hand drawn cartoon counterparts is very unrealistic.

The movie is a depiction of the intrigues and power struggle in the animal kingdom using puppetry and hyperrealistic CGI and they did a very good job. I watched the movie with a very open mind and was thoroughly entertained.

Dear, that's the main reason why not all movies (cartoon/ animation) deserves a live action adaptation . Because making a live action of such movies coupled with the hyperrealistic features(all thanks to the CGI) strikes out the emotions & causes a type of cognitive dissonance that removes the viewers further away from the story. I slept of twice while seeing the movie because I knew the story & secondly, nothing about the live action held my attention. Simply put, it lacked creativity & had nothing new to offer.They should have at least expanded the story, for instance, they should have told us more about some of the characters, take Beauty & the Beast for instance, the story was expanded, at least we got a backstory to one of the main characters(Beast)
The technology behind the movie was jaw dropping, it's a fact. But having something as real as this, takes away the emotions in the original characters.
My sis to be frank, I didn't see any emotions conveyed through their posture and body movement, even the voice act of some of the characters were horrible & finally, the characters were just too shallow, one doesn't really learn much about them to care. You're a dog lover right?, Do see Homeward Bond: The Incredible Journey 1 & 2 . Now based on the emotions exhibited by these animals( facial expressions excluded), compare the movie to The Lion King live action & tell me what you think. Funny enough, Disney don't really know when to quit as regards making live action movie adaptation, i wouldn't be thunderstruck if they woke up one morning only to decide to make a live action adaptation of TOY STORY.

It's more than a humble opinion.

Most people felt that the live action CGI was just cringeworthy.

The cartoon was definitely better than the live action and it's expected. I mean, Lion King is a classic, and no ingenuity inserted into the live action would topple the original as long as it's the same storyline. Same applies to Aladdin, the animation is still better than the live action.

I don't subscribe to the lack of emotion criticisms it received, it would've been weird seeing a smiling or giddy lion. Those things can only be achieved in an animation. Bringing it to live is a recipe for disaster.

Well said.

I honestly believe that it was a huge mistake on Disney's part.

7.8 / 10


Started drab, and I was barely managing to keep watching... But ultimately the story ended up being pretty amazing ✔️

Actually Thought Gabby was psychotic, like the bear they met in the last movie.. Surprisingly that was not the case.. They decided to go a different direction with the Story in this installment, and it was pretty great in my opinion... Worthy of ending the franchise, if they decide to make this the last movie...


I highly recommend this, if you can sit through the early babble and bore fest, it is a very beautiful story

They should stop bringing all these Animations to live action...Aladdin was still okay for live action ...compared to the rest
