Review of The Lion King (2019) by Dubeau — 25 Oct 2019
The lion king is a CGI remake but it doesn't work on all levels. First the story is exactly the same. My question is why not add up something new ? The songs are there. Some are improved but some are just bland.
Why not improved on the them too ? As for the CGI most of them works and overall very beautiful. But baby Simba has a flagrant lack of expression while the adult counterparts have many. Why did they made the young Simba so facialy static ? I really did love the fights and chase scenes.
This is about the best scenes in the movie because it actually exploit the 3d settings and amazing camera views. I really liked all the voices over. The Zimmer soundtrack still has long music pieces with no interruptions, moment of silence or soft music.
That trend doesn't help the movie. I give it 62%. It was a cash grab and a miss opportunity to enhance the story, the music.
