Heard from a couple of people that it was underwhelming. I’m confused tho, what was underwhelming about it? We all know the story, were they expecting something different to happen?

For me, it was the voice performances and the way they did or didn’t animate the CG. When you’re doing a cartoon, you can get the characters to emote. Eyes can move and be expressive and their faces can do a lot. But with the photorealistic CG they used here, there’s no emoting at all. So when mustafa is about to meet his end, he looks kinda cool about the whole thing rather than scared and seeing the horror in the cartoon. So the movie comes off as flat and all the emotion it produces is based on the emotion the other movie produced 20 years ago.
Ahh makes perfect sense. Thank you.
No prob, man. If you still want to see it, I say go for it. That’s just my opinion. Just tough to get into what’s happening on screen when the characters look bored

This was one spectacular misfire, goddamn...
One thing that stood out to me that added to the cold, lifeless atmosphere of the movie were the completely absent sound effects. I swear most scenes are dead silent outside of characters talking and a background soundtrack, like they didn't even bother to give sound effects to animals walking, wind blowing against trees, flowing water, etc. It doesn't help that the editing is a complete mess, probably a result of copying so many scenes without being able to capture the liveliness and flow.
Also, it is a tight contest between Donald Glover's singing and Beyoncé's acting as the absolute worst part of the movie. Glover's singing voice is so flat and weak that you can barely hear him on Can You Feel The Love Tonight and on top of that is also wildly out of tune with Beyoncé.
The crazy thing is that in the OG they decided to not let Timon and Pumbaa sing the song because they felt the characters were too goofy for the song, yet here Billy Eichner (Timon) sets in the song so strongly that you desperately wish they had let him sing it all once you hear the first notes Glover hits.
Beyoncé meanwhile has never been a good actress, but her line reading here sounds like she is trying way too hard to pronounce words clearly, putting weird emphasis on all the wrong words.
I don't know how they got all this stuff so terribly wrong, especially because Favreau seemed to get things right with The Jungle Book, but this is an embarrassing failure that only has any positive things to it because of the simple fact that the source material is just so unfukkwithably strong.

I love you, you know.
I thought it was great.
I mean... It's The Lion King.
I really don't see how someone could like the original and dislike this.
It did admittedly take me about three minutes to get used to seeing such lifelike animals talk. Speaking of lifelike... Damn this shyt looked real. Amazing just how far CG has come
But yeah, it was an almost literally shot-for-shot, word--for-word remake.
5/5 for me.

this is exactly what it looks like from all the clips I've seen. to a T.
I wonder if all the people criticizing Glovers singing even remember the original grown up simbas singing, he never sounded good lol. It’s like people want perfect vocals for something that originally wasn’t that great. Not only that but the original simba never sung the bridge or chorus on the original “can you feel the love”, neither did Nala, after their short verses someone else’s vocals took over, so Glover shouldn’t be catching heat for that either.

This can personally guarantee you if people watch the live action one and then go watch the animated version right now a lot of the complains will die down. People are making nostalgia get in their way of this movie. The only "real" complaint that's legit is the lack of emotion on their faces.
The movie wasn't bad at all
Seeing this later tonight. My cousin who is in her 30s posted on FB "MAN YALL BETTER NOT SPOIL THIS MOVIE"
