Given its box office performance this past weekend, someone on this board has seen it. Anyway, 7/10.

6/10. The photorealistic CGI was immersive to look at and most of the voice cast did pretty well in their roles. James Earl Jones sounded really old as Mufasa and Beyoncé didn't connect with me as Nala. John Oliver, Billy Eichner, and Seth Rogen were standouts. However, most of the film is a plain retelling of the original film with less emotion and humor. The lions are rendered so realistically that their only discernible emotion is anger.

7/10. It was decent enough. I knew what I expected so I wasn’t really that mad with it.

THE LION KING 10/10 THE LION KING PART II: SIMBA'S PRIDE 6/10 Why do people think popular sidekicks can be good protagonists? If they became popular as sidekicks it's for a reason. THE LION KING PART 1 1/2 is proof of that. It re-tells THE LION KING from TIMON the meerkat & PUMBAA the warthog's perspective and it relies too much on references (direct and indirect) to that movie, as if the 2 characters couldn't carry a movie by themselves. And in case you're thinking about it, they can't carry a TV show either. If they could, why did the series TIMON & PUMBAA placed them in specific locations and time periods (something the movies tried to avoid) and turned their cartoon physics into old-fashioned surreal slapstick (the movies' physics were more grounded in reality)? Anyway, here, the voice acting isn't bad and the animation is good for a direct-to-DVD sequel, but the comedy doesn't work and the recreated scenes are full of contradictions. This is a movie-within-a-movie that the duo are watching. Their narration indicates whenever there's a time jump, which is helpful during the montages, but not during regular scenes. The parallel events from the 1st installment are obvious enough for the audience to realize at what point in the timeline something's happening. Actually, the first 3 minutes or so (where they explain that we're about to watch a prequel/midquel) are completely unnecessary. Also, it's annoying to see them pause the movie to say irrelevant things. 1/10 THE LION KING 2019 3/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog. |
