Review of The Lion King (2019) by Jacob4 — 20 Jul 2019

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.
