It is a visually stunning experience, Favreau does take his version to a whole new scale visually.

I felt little "lack of humane" expressions and Rest was on voice and actions, and I guess no one disappoints in that regard as far as Lion King is concerned. There may be a hand-full like me, for whom Lion King was the first ever movie-going experience, and frankly we cannot thank Disney enough to bring that back after 26 years. If cinematically put then, had someone been focusing a camera on me.
Apart from that it was a good experience with lot or color and emotion which came back after watching this again. Its must be watched in a theater because I guess then only you get the real essence of it. Its surely atleast one time watch.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lion King took me back to my childhood and I enjoyed every minute of it. I also loved that Nala had a bigger part and a warrior personality. Beyoncé did an amazing job. Nala sounded so powerful. I felt empowered. Animations were out of this world.… Expand

Wow wow wow! The music, CGI, humour, everything ... was amazing. Just needed slightly more bass in the music to hear those beautiful drums, but other than that, it was beautiful. Perfect mix of the classic lion king with a new take on it.

This live action came to reunite the families, generations that saw the first version, today take their children / grandchildren to see the new version. Donald Glover and Beyoncé gave their lives by dubbing Simba and Nala. This movie is incredible.

Lots of respect given to the 1994 version. Actually positively surprised at some of the small changes that added realism to the story telling, such as species specific behaviour.

Actually positively surprised at some of the small changes that added realism to the story telling, such as species specific behaviour. Surely not a 100% agreeable of the choices made, like Scar’s voice and ’Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ was totally butchered... and also, there was some useless added content that only slowed down the pace of the film. But I can’t remember another movie that would have anytime recently given such nostalgia chills. This movie does not deserve the underappreciation critiques have given to it. Sure, it could have been even better, but it stayed true to the story in a way no other Disney remake has yet done. 85/100 … Expand

There was so much to ruin, starting from soundtrack and ending with live animation. Fortunately, in my opinion, the film was so great, emotional and fun as the original one. Despite two scenes when it was lacking in key actions and a few dialogues which (of course again in my opinion) could have been improved I have almost nothing to complain about. One thing is for sure when it comes to this kind of movie - animals and expressing emotions is like... they have barely visible facial expressions. BUT everything is okay, you just have to look closer, deep in their eyes. I think it was even more touching and realistic at some point - just like our puppies you can see things through the way they look at you. The sense of humor is a little updated and so is the music. To be honest that was the thing worrying me the most, especially when I heard Beyonce "Spirit" and thought "Wait... where the hell is this supposed to be, even though it's beautiful song. it just doesn't match." But in reality IT REALLY DOES. New arrangements of I just can't wait to be king and Hakuna Matata and The Lion sleept tonight are incredible, all you can do is to try not to smile and sing along. In the end, the movie is well-done and thought from the begging till the end even if it's some kind of remake.

P.s
Mufasa's voice got me goosebumps. So deep and powerful. I'm in love… Expand

I read other people's reviews before I go to the cinema but I don't make a decision before I see the movie myself and I am really glad that I went to the cinema even when all the negative reviews dropped. I was counting with realistic animalsI read other people's reviews before I go to the cinema but I don't make a decision before I see the movie myself and I am really glad that I went to the cinema even when all the negative reviews dropped. I was counting with realistic animals and that's exactly what I got. People say that thanks to the realistic animations the movie lost it's "magical" atmosphere. But it was an exact opposite for me. Thanks to the realistic animations, the movie felt more, well, realistic and thanks to that more magical. I was often even forgetting it's not a real life movie. So, what about the film itself? Was it actually good? Yes, it was an absolute masterpiece. The animation was incredible and same goes to music. Remade music really did sound incredible and I loved that. When you combine the incredible music with the more incredible story and even more incredible animation, you bet it will make a masterpiece.
I am not here to compare 2019's The Lion King to the original. The movies are very, very different. It mostly depends on each one's movie taste. For me, both movies are great and I'll love them for the rest of my life. So if you want to watch the new The Lion King, don't mind the negative reviews and just go and watch it so you can make your own decision.
Long live the king!… Expand

Same songs, same Simba, same sadness. And good! IF IT AIN’T BROKE DON’T FIX IT, BABY! One thing with making the animals look so real is that they lose the expression of emotion on their faces, making the dramatic scenes just ever so slightly underwhelming. If the music doesn’t make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up then this film is WASTED on you!

Regardless of your opinion, it delivers the originalThe idiocy of others rating this movie anything less than an 8 is ridiculous. Remakes like this one are ever-present, yet this one is done to a wonderful degree that allows it to stand out. Regardless of your opinion, it delivers the original with a slight twist which is NEEDED for them to even be considered. Why would the exact same movie with better visuals be of any use. You must expect some change, being harsh merely because you can't handle the evolution is your fault, not the creators'. This movie simply is the Lion King, with fantastic visuals, enhanced audio use and a darker telling of the story while remaining enthralling. I would honestly consider this the definitive version of the movie, with the original remaining fantastic yet dated. Comments that the characters have "lost emotion" is just a spiteful nondescript critique - how is cartoon level emphasis going to be given to photo-realistic characters?

To conclude, an excellent movie receiving unfair criticism. An emotional roller coaster that is sure to satisfy the open minded.… Expand

King Mufasa's and Queen Sarabi's newborn son, Simba, is presented to the gathering animals by Rafiki the mandrill, the kingdom's shaman and advisor. Mufasa shows Simba the Pride Lands and explains to him the responsibilities of kingship and the "circle of life", which connects all living things. Mufasa's younger brother, Scar, covets the throne and plots to eliminate Mufasa and Simba, so he may become king. He tricks Simba and his best friend Nala (to whom it is expected Simba will marry) into exploring a forbidden elephants' graveyard, where they are attacked by hyenas led by the ruthless Shenzi. Mufasa is alerted about the incident by his majordomo, the hornbill Zazu, and rescues the cubs. Though upset with Simba, Mufasa forgives him and explains that the great kings of the past watch over them from the night sky, from which he will one day watch over Simba. Meanwhile, Scar visits the hyenas and manages to convince them to help him overthrow Mufasa in exchange for hunting rights in the Pride Lands.
Scar sets a trap for his brother and nephew, luring Simba into a gorge and having the hyenas drive a large herd of wildebeest into a stampede that will trample him. He informs Mufasa of Simba's peril, knowing that the king will rush to save his son. Mufasa saves Simba but ends up hanging perilously from the gorge's edge. Scar refuses to help Mufasa, instead sending him falling to his death. He then convinces Simba that the tragedy was Simba's own fault and advises him to leave the kingdom and never return. He orders the hyenas to kill the cub, but Simba escapes. Scar tells the pride that both Mufasa and Simba were killed in the stampede and steps forward as the new king, allowing Shenzi's clan to live in the Pride Lands.
Simba collapses in a desert and is rescued by Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and warthog, who are fellow outcasts. Simba grows up in the oasis with his two new friends and other animals in their oasis, living a carefree life under the motto "hakuna matata" ("no worries" in Swahili). Now a young adult, Simba rescues Timon and Pumbaa from a hungry lioness, who turns out to be Nala. She and Simba reunite and fall in love, and she urges him to return home, telling him that the Pride Lands have become a drought-stricken wasteland under Scar's reign. Feeling guilty over his father's death, Simba refuses and storms off. He then encounters Rafiki, who tells him that Mufasa's spirit lives on in Simba. Simba is visited by the ghost of Mufasa in the night sky, who tells him that he must take his rightful place as king. Realizing that he can no longer run from his past, Simba decides to return to the Pride Lands.
Aided by his friends, Simba sneaks past the hyenas at Pride Rock and confronts Scar, who was about to fight Sarabi. Scar taunts Simba over his role in Mufasa's death and backs him to the edge of the rock, where he reveals to him that he murdered Mufasa. Enraged, Simba attempts to reveal the truth to the rest of the pride, while Scar, who previously claimed that he arrived too late at the gorge, attempts to deny it, but his knowledge of Mufasa's last moment exposes his role in Mufasa's death. Timon, Pumbaa, Rafiki, Zazu, and the lionesses fend off the hyenas while Scar, attempting to escape, is cornered by Simba at a ledge near the top of Pride Rock. Scar begs for mercy and attempts to blame his crimes on the hyenas; Simba spares his life but orders him to leave the Pride Lands forever. Scar refuses and attacks his nephew, but Simba manages to throw him off the cliff after a brief fight. Scar survives the fall but is attacked and mauled to death by the hyenas, who overheard his attempt to betray them. Afterward, Simba takes over the kingship and makes Nala his queen.
With the Pride Lands restored to its usual state, Rafiki presents Simba and Nala's newborn cub to the assembled animals, continuing the circle of life.… Expand

Anyway, the music is still great, especially the new song spirit.… Expand

I haven't seen the original, so I can't really compare it. But I do think that people are so focused in comparing it with the originals that they don't look at it like an individual movie. It's like if it doesn't live up to the standard of the original, then it's bad. But I found this film to be quite decent. Maybe I was a bit biased because of the mind-blowing CGI. Even people who hate this movie have to admit the CGI style of the movie was simply astonishing. The fact to detail put here is incredible. Especially the lion's cave and jungle scene, which was one of the most realistic visuals I have ever seen. Add to that some pretty well-done sequences and a thrilling final fight, I think this film is really good. But I'm not saying that it's a perfect film, it's nowhere near it. The pacing for one is a huge issue. It's repeating the same mistake as Frozen 2. Focusing too much on recreating the opening scene. Simba doesn't even run away until an hour into the film. It's building towards an end which is thrilling but the set-up is bad. The story line and the pacing are not good. But still I enjoyed The Lion King for what it was, an astounding piece of art with fun characters and great sequences.… Expand

The Lion King is a really good movie!! It pays respect to the original movie, the voice acting is really good, the visual effects are amazing, Hans Zimmer's score is always inspiring, and the songs are always gonna be memorable!!

This is the most cash grabby movie of cash grab movies. If Disney wanted to show off some new CGI they should have made a completely new story instead of remaking a beloved classic. This movie is unnecessary and boring, but at least they made a billion dollars and got the oscar nomination for Visual Effects. Because that was obviously their goal. I really don't like this movie, it looks good but whats the point of pretty visuals without any substance.… Expand

Though the graphics are stunning, the film itself doesn't even have a quarter of the original's charm. It's nothing more than a soulless cash grab.

However, being a shot for shot remake meant to enhance the original, it falls flat. The emotion is almost entirely lost with photorealistic animals. The voice acting was also extremely poor, especially considering the caliber of celebrity that was brought in. No one will ever top Jeremy Irons performance of Scar, for instance.… Expand

Contrary to some of the comments here, I don't feel it was merely a 'lazy cash grab', I mean, look at the incredible artistry that went into it. But I agree with some of the professional reviewers that identified how it was a real mistake that the characters couldn't emote properly due to the photo-realism.

For me, this flaw became critical, leaving the overall film as a strangely vacuous experience. I knew something was amiss when the stampede sequence was neither scary nor sad, a scene which made such an impact on me in my childhood; Hans Zimmer's powerful score is not enough to counteract those furry, soulless faces. Live-action 'Mulan' was much more successful, but hardly any metacritic users agree with me...… Expand
