The Lion King reboot was a fantastical looking spectacle, but at the same time felt like a predictable rerun of the original!

If you grew up watching the original the reboot does a good job hitting the right nostalgia point at times, but also kinda lets down your excitement and nostalgia with some awkward altered scenes and unnecessary padding and extended scenes. And due to the movie trying to be too realistic some scenes just don't pack the same emotional charm and magic as the original. It's a great watch but you just can't beat the original!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thanks Universal. That atrocious Cats trailer automatically gave a bonus point to this movie.
And yes,little Simba is a precious boi...whatever that means. Oh,and Spoilers.

The Lion King 2019! Uhh…you can see it now. In theaters,IMAX and Dolby Cinema. There's really nothing noteworthy about it...Seriously.
Ok,but before we start getting mad about it,let's say a few positives,since it does have some.
The Effects make this movie basically look like a Tech Demo you'd see from E3,from the animals to the landscapes to the tiniest bit of details,to the point to where some of it is shot like a National Geographic documentary. This Art Department is to be blessed for the magic they crafted on screen. Of course you should see it in IMAX. Didn't you get it from the caption? It also shares a spot with Godzilla King Of The Monsters in terms of Artistic Achievements. You make monsters wrecking buildings feel as real as a Da Vinci painting,and NOW you make talking animals feel realistic as ****
Hans Zimmer's score may be the greatest part of this movie. He did understand that it's the remake of a movie he already scored,so he fully embraces the Broadway-style musical numbers and gives it his all with the orchestral compositions,which really were the one thing that kept me smiling (and give me some form of emotion) during the movie,especially with the fan favourite moments (I Was Just Trying To Be Brave Like You,The Stampede etc),which really kick into high gear when 'that' scene is playing. Seriously,there's a part (that we'll also talk about later) that has one of the more swelling moments in the Score. Some of the new content is worthwhile for a laugh or two,but still doesn't really make up for the 2hr Runtime,and the cast is fabulous. Throw in Jeremy Irons and it would've been perfect.
Although it's also one of the main problems.
While the actors portray any form of emotion on-screen,they do feel a bit uncanny,since the CG Animals never embrace any emotion in their faces. Even the Death of Mufasa. While touching (thanks,Zimmer),it kinda feels awkward,since,again,CG Animals with emotionless faces. Another thing that bugged me (don't take it with the other Disney remakes) is that...You know Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary for the Xbox 360,where you can switch between the first Xbox's graphics and the new 360 graphics while playing the game? Yeah? Well,cut the new parts of this new Lion King rendition,couple it with the Animated movie (in an eventual DVD) and you have a version of The Lion King where you can change between animated and live-action (?) with the push of a button. For those who don't get it,it's almost a shot-for-shot remake of the Animated one. No flair of its own,no real value of reason to exist (unlike the last Disney movie that we didn't need)...Just a good ole' safe Disney cash machine.
Ok,so...That swelling sequence. When Simba falls to the ground,sleeping (after a talk with Timon and Pumbaa),there's a droplet of hair (of his) flying away from him,and we follow it just fine (alongside the best musical part of the score),but it just goes on and on after a point. It's that long. Oh,and it makes up for a poop joke. HA HA movie.
I really hated how they began the 3rd Act. No offense to Beyonce's new song "Spirit" ,which sounds lovely and all,but enough with these badass sequences set to a hip song.
Also...Just STOP PUTTING JUMPSCARES IN FRANCHISE MOVIES. Especially when it's "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" playing. PLEASE. JUST STOP. And why is Mufasa portrayed as Superman everything he pops up on screen?
Look. This new version of The Lion King feels like a cash machine,but a disappointing one at that. Even if I say that it's good and/or great (as a 7/10) feels like a disappointment. It was supposed to be the end of a dark tunnel of 2019 Disney remakes,why is it just another fine Disney remake and not a really good one?!? I guess you could say because executives. Those who don't want to risk something really beloved and expand it to new horizons… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So my biggest problem is that there wasn’t hardly any facial expressions. I also feel like some of the crucial parts were missing. For example, when rufiki is fighting the hyenas when pride rock was being taken back, rufiki was in the middle in the animated film but in this current film it he didn’t. I felt like that was a crucial. Other then that I feel like it hit nearly every point it needed to.… Expand

I would advise everyone to go and relax, laugh and enjoy the movie as if it was never told before.

The movie looks so amazing and photo-realistic. The background in particular is really impressive, I'm surprised this film had only one real setting shot. You really can't tell the difference between this landscape and the real world. Director John Favreau (Iron Man; Jungle Book) has some interesting shots in this. At times, the movie feels like a nature documentary.

Plotwise, this is probably the least ambitious of the recent Disney remakes. Unlike Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin, which clung to the plot structure of the originals but also added new elements, this one just retells the basic story. Still, I'm not hating it. This isn't the 90's Psycho. It's not word-by-word. What works for me here is that the jokes are almost all new and they work really well.

Cast is decent. All the funny characters jive. Donald Glover as adult Simba and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar do a good job as the hero and villain. However, Beyonce as adult Nala sometimes really comes across as reading off the page without a whole lot of effort.

The background music really sells the scenes, but admittedly Hans Zimmer basically just rehashes the music from the first film.

This contains all the classic songs from the original. However, "Be Prepared" has been changed to a half-it's-length spoken word song with reworked lyrics. I know at one point the news was that they were cutting this song. (Either for time or Ejiofor just didn't have the pipes.) I'm guessing this was added back due to the backlash but modified to accomodate either or both of the potential issues just mentioned. I actually would've preferred if they left the song out rather than going with this neutered version, which doesn't quite work.

If you feel that the recent Disney remakes are soulless cashgrabs, this really won't be the one to change your mind. Despite coasting with the story, I personally found this to be engaging.… Expand

And while as expected, it was visually amazing and detailed, storywise, it was pretty much a near shot-for-shot and dialogue-for-dialogue remake of the original. It all felt a little too rehashed, which isn't quite what I was hoping for. Granted, it did make a handful of minor tweaks and adjustments in spots and moments, but none of them felt quite as fresh or as funny as in the original. One other big pro, however, was the voice cast! Donald 'Childish Gambino' Glover felt like a good choice for adult Simba, while Beyonce voiced Nala perfectly. James Earl Jones (Mufasa) notably is the only original voice actor from the original to return, but hey, no one else can voice that character! Overall, it's visually entertaining, and the voice cast keeps it relatively fun, but it's just the same old story with little to no changes to any original scenes or dialogue, so hopefully that doesn't detract from how much others might enjoy it.… Expand

the movie wasn't amazing, but if you remember the original from so many years ago then this will stir up all the right kinds of emotions just as the original did.

I was even more impressed seeing the Broadway musical version 3 times including just this past May 9, 2019, in Miami and each time my jaw dropped to the floor with the opening number. Now we have a live action/CGI version. I admit I haven't the slightest idea what that means except the talking animals really seem to move and talk just as human actors do!

I very seldom have good things to say about a remake but in this case a remake of a remake of an original held my attention from beginning to end even knowing the story forward and backwards.

The cast voices fit perfectly and Billy Echner as Timon the meerkat almost, almost, makes me forget Nathan Lane's voice in the original animation and Seth Rogen gets all the laughs he can as Rumbaa the warthog. It is good to hear James Earl Jones reprise his roll as King Mufasa while the new voices of Chitwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Donald Glover as grown-up Simba and Beyonce Knowles as Nala are equal to the best. By the way the cubs playing Simba and Nala will make anyone a cat person!

The direction, (how do you direct a live/CGI animal?) by Jon Favreau, the photography by Caleb Deschanel with the visual effects by Robert Legato and Adam Valdez all combine to make this version of "The Lion King" a clear winner!… Expand

Filme excelente! Visuais impecáveis e de molhar os olhos. Chorei do início ao fim. Atuação muito boa das vozes originais. O diretor entrega exatamente o que prometeu, sem deixar a desejar em nenhum aspecto! Nota 10.

Never seen the original. Was amazed by the Shakespearean story, characterizations, songs and next generation CGI. The craft is nearly at photorealistic level. This is a brilliant movie. Makes me want to watch the cell drawn 90s version.

I'd honestly say this is the best live-action Disney remake released so far (or "live-action").

Yes, it's way too similar to the animated movie but if the Mulan trailer told me anything is that, to please the biggest amount of people, you need to be extremely faithful, especially adaptations of beloved movies like Beauty and the Beast and... The Lion King. I thought they did an incredible job with the casting, Chiwetel Ejiofor did a different interpretation of Scar and I thought it was brilliant, the visuals are jaw-dropping and the technology used here is definitely a game-changer in this industry, It'll easily win an Oscar for its CGI. I thought they did a good job with the musical numbers, although I really didn't like how comitted they were to make a movie about talking and singing animals in a Hamlet play extremely realistic. It could use some ol' Disney magic, you know? But fine, for what they were trying to achieve, they did it succesfully. It didn't bother me how the animals were facially expressing, firstly because my memory is not short so I remember watching movies like Babe and The Jungle Book, which it's literally directed by the same guy and used the same idea in the animals' design. The voice actors did an amazing job in bringing these characters to life and they have enough personality to make them relatable. If this is possible to happen with ScarJo's role as an operating system in Her, it's definitely not hard to happen with realistic animals. Soundtrack and score are incredible, you can do no wrong with the original songs and bringing back Elton John to work on new ones was the right call, add that to Beyoncé, who's an amazing artist, and you have pure perfection. As for the writing, honestly, they did exactly what I was expecting which is revisit an iconic story in different format, every little change they made worked for me (Scar, Hyenas, Nala) and Timon and Pumbaa are show-stealers. If you take in consideration it's basically the same script and it doesn't bother you, then I believe you'll enjoy it. The story is fantastic and timeless, there's no way I can say the plot is weak or the dialogue is bad. Overall, I found it very satisfying, I'm planning to watch it again so I can have a more accurate opinion on it. In case you want to know if our taste is similar so you can trust my opinion, I'm gonna rank all Disney live-action remakes post-Alice.

1) The Lion King
2) Alice in Wonderland (I know it's not universally loved but I have a personal attachment to this movie and the book. I may find the script flawed but I'm still enchanted by it. I'm also personally a fan of Tim Burton and his aesthetic.)
3) The Jungle Book
4) Christopher Robin
5) Beauty and the Beast
6) Cinderella
7) Aladdin
8) Dumbo
9) Maleficent
10) Alice Through the Looking Glass (it's technically a sequel, but I think it belongs to this unofficial franchise.)

I haven't seen neither versions of Pete's Dragon yet but I don't think it has something to do with all these remakes being produced.… Expand

A few differences: understandably, there wasn't the tower of animals at the end of "I just can't wait to be king". Also, the scene was omitted where the baboon hit grownup Simba on the head and when Simba complained, baboon said, "it doesn't matter - that's in the past" - I liked that teaching moment and wished they had kept it. Also, found Timon the meerkat having an overtly feminine man's voice distracting. Overall very well done and enjoyable!… Expand

Quando o Live Action foi anunciado fiquei bem apreenciva. Principalmente quando Jon Favreau foi confirmado como diretor dele, particularmente porque o Live Action de The Jungle Book dele me decepcionou bastante.
The Jungle Book sempre foi umQuando o Live Action foi anunciado fiquei bem apreenciva. Principalmente quando Jon Favreau foi confirmado como diretor dele, particularmente porque o Live Action de The Jungle Book dele me decepcionou bastante.
The Jungle Book sempre foi um dos meus filmes favoritos de infância e pra mim todas as mudanças dele acabaram com a essência da história.
Mudanças essas que foram em grande parte causadas por Jon Favreau, por tanto essas escolha da Disney tinha me causado preocupação.
Porém devido ao seu excelente trabalho em Iron Man, e pela minha fé que a Disney jamais conseguiria destruir algo tão esplêndido quanto O Rei Leão, eu dei a ele o benefício da dúvida.
Quando as críticas começaram a sair eu comecei a ficar ainda mais preocupada, porque muitas pessoas que amam o filme original acabaram não gostando muito da nova, mas nunca fui de seguir o que os outros falam, mantive minha fé de que o filme seria incrível.
Eu quis tanto que esse filme fosse um experiência única pra mim, que eu deixei pra ouvir a nova trilha sonora e ver entrevistas com o diretor e os membros da produção um dia antes de ver o filme. Coisa que eu nunca faço. Só pra não perder nada da experiência do filme. Fui assistir o filme com o coração e a mente completamente abertos, esperando as surpresas que Jon Favreau me daria.
Ele me emocionou logo no início, ao ver a cena de abertura com The Circle of Life meus olhos se encheram de lágrimas, parte pela fidelidade ao desenho outra pela nostalgia.
Pra falar a verdade o filme me emocionou em diversos o filme me emocionou bastante, meus olhos se encheram de lágrimas na morte de Mufasa, no "banimento" do Simba, em Can You Feel the Love Tonight, no "Remember Who You Are" e no Final.
O Filme em si é bem impressionante, mesmo sabendo toda a história, seu visual o torna completamente breaktaking, é quase difícil acreditar que a maioria de seu cenário seja Chroma Key.
Assim como é difícil acreditar que seu animais sejam inteiramente CGI.
Durante diversos momentos me senti assistindo uma produção do Animal Planet, Discovery Channel ou NatGeo.
Até que os animas começavam a cantar, e assim ele se tornava aquilo que talvez seja o mais próximo que teremos de uma produção Musical feita pelo Animal Planet.
Os animais são tão reais que parece que foram adestrados só para o filme, seus movimentos em si foram tão realistas que fascinam.
E talvez essa realidade utilizada nos animais tenha sido responsável por uma das coisas que mais incomodou o público: a falta de expressão nos animais.

Em entrevista dada pelo AdoroCinema o Diretor Favreau explicou que tem um movimento sutil em seus rostos, para que não se tornassem apáticos, mas que a maior expressão fica por conta do corpo, já que leões, e animais em geral expressão muito do que estão sentindo no modo como se movimentam, ou não.
A maior prova disso está no Vilão do Filme: Scar. Tpda vez que ele aparece em cena com seu andar lento e pesado, como se estivesse prestes a atacar a qualquer momento, prende completamente a atenção do público esperando sua próxima ação.
Talvez o que torne o Scar do Live Action mais assustador, além de sua aparência abatida, seja justamente sua imprevisibilidade, que nos deixa completamente sem noção do que irá fazer a seguir.
O arrebatamento e a nostalgia que o filme traz, faz com que seja quase impossível falar qualquer coisa ruim sobre ele.
As alterações feitas no filme também foram em prol de deixar tudo ainda mais real, por isso talvez a exclusão de algumas cenas sejam justificáveis, mesmo que tenham feito falta.
os quase 30 minutos a mais que diferenciam a história atual da de 1994, serviram para fechar algumas arestas deixadas ou para alívio cômico.
O fato é que a história de O Rei Leão é tão atemporal e maravilhosa, que faz com a ela seja sempre eternizada no coração do público.
Uma história que marcou tanto uma geração, que explica o Ciclo da Vida, que explica sobre vida, morte e amor de uma forma tão pura, linda e cativante, e que agora chega novamente para uma nova geração, talvez + tecnológica, mas que apesar de tudo manteve sua essência e pureza.… Expand
