I thought it was fine. I mean, Lion King is one of the greatest stories of all time. It’s hard to fukk it up.
I think the pacing felt off at times, like for instance Mufasa’s death scene, it was sad but still didn’t have that emotional pacing the animated movie had.
I thought the voice acting from some was great at times, then bad. It was weird. Timon and Pumba were the only consistents. Beyoncé actually wasn’t bad to me. The only time I felt her voice acting was bad was when she had to sound ferocious (ie. Her “lions...attack!” declaration). I thought she was just as good if not better than young Nyla. Young Nyla (the girl from Us) sounded like she was reading off a script. They shoulda had her and young simba read they lines together cuz their dialogue sounded uneven. She can sing tho. She was killing young simba in “Can’t Wait To Be King” lol.
I thought it was beautiful CGI. Yes the animals faces lacked emotion at time but it wasn’t as bad as I feared.
Overall, enjoyable film. Again, it’s one of the greatest stories of all time so it’s hard to F up The Lion King.
Also,
at Scar trying to get in Sarabi guts. Homie was on some “we all grieve in different ways 
come get yourself a real king and right your past mistake of choosing him over me
”

NOPE
Not sure if this movie needed to happen. If it was a rehash of the story with a modern twist, it would have been better.
Biggest complaint was that there was no emotion in the voice acting. The screenplay seem constricted and reeks of rapid fire takes to match the original dialogue.

It was good but I guess I realized I just don't like the songs as much as Aladdin.

Yea, my kid checked out before Timon and Pumba even showed.
Jack Skellington
yes indeed family
This is why I see her casting as a horrible choice
My kids enjoyed this movie just like they did for Aladdin. My wife and I enjoyed the movie. I know everyone is entitled to their opinions and I have no problem with that. I can't judge kid movies like it's some Oscar worthy movie. Since having kids I see kid movies in a different light now. It was not made for my grown 31 year old ass it was made for them. Just my 2 cents on the matter.
Speaking of Lion King, this is the most violent and saddest documentary on lions I have ever seen.
I had no idea the violence involved when lions take over territory.
