    The Lion King (2019)

    I might've liked that one more with someone other than Emma Watson in the lead. She's a limited actor and I think she lacks the spirit Belle needs...

    The Lion King (2019)

    I've been pretty underwhelmed with most of the Disney remakes. 2015's "Cinderella" was better than expected, and I kinda like "Maleficent", though that one's enough into prequel territory to not be a true remake of "Sleeping Beauty". All the rest are meh to me. Of the others, "Aladdin" is...

    Hey, ya like what ya like, but still... :huh::huh::huh: I heard the "Sgt. Pepper's" movie soundtrack before I heard most of the Beatles' originals - I'd have to be more mentally ill than I already am to prefer the 70s versions! :lol: BTW, I poked around to see what song you meant, as Lennon...

    I dunno. Seems like hardly anybody genuinely hates the remake - or even strongly dislikes it. Feels like the impressions have been more "watchable but pointless"...

    The Lion King (2019)

    It would've been interesting to attempt an essentially silent version of "Lion King", one that tries to act out the story in a more realistic way. Not one that adheres entirely to how animals really behave, but one without songs or dialogue and one that tries to tell the tale in a manner that...

    The Lion King (2019)

    Agree with the opinions that the movie is technically astonishing but it lacks heart, as the photoreal animals don't have the expressiveness to pull off emotions. Virtually all of the actors were better in the original, except for the guy who did Mufasa - he's MUCH better than whoever played...
