The Lion King (2019) Review Thread
- Thread starter jack_package_200
- Start date
Yeah, I was about to mention that. Seems people are forgetting how Jungle Book was.
Damn, I haven't seen any of the other live action remakes, so I wasnt really sure what to expect when it comes to the music.
There's not many 90s films left and the older Disney classics have proven to be far less of a box office draw.
Haha what? Be Prepared is a joke. Dude talks that song now.
Dictating? I didn't tell anyone to do anything, I merely expressed my own wishes and opinions.
I said "I wish" people didn't support stuff they know is mediocre.
If some people truly believe the remakes are on par with the originals then there's nothing I or anyone can do to save their souls, but there are people who know what they're getting into and watch it anyways, like I said in my post.
We had people in the Sonic trailer thread saying they'll watch it fully knowing it'll be bad. And it makes no sense to me when people reward mediocrity.
Don't worry, they'll just remake the remakes!

OP
We also start getting into the issue where the films they are going to have to remake weren't good to begin with.
Hunchback? Hercules? Atlantis??
The only way to make a Pocahontas remake is a two hours documentary detailing the atrocities done to the native americans by the british.
Lilo & Stitch is the only '00s Disney film that's considered a "classic," though. All the others from that era are cult hits at best.
These remakes are mainly to capitalize on nostalgia of their more successful films, they're not going to remake their flops
Doesn't really surprise me after seeing all the footage they release. Pete's Dragon, low key, is their best live-action remake.
Lilo & Stitch is so unlike any other Disney movie at the time that I always forget it's a Disney movie.
I like that movie a lot and I actually think "Lil' Stinker E.T. In Hawaii" has remake potential. The problem is, I also think they'll fuck it up and make it lame. They need a director with a real vision and a real take.
That's what these remakes lack, a take. A concept motivating the remake beyond "make money."
Give it 10 years and we'll be seeing Pixar Live-action remakes. Lead with Monster's INC and watch the movie pile-in.
They consistently fuck up the music in every one of these remakes. It's baffling. The original songs are corny as hell but they slap. These are just corny and flat.
Swingers was Doug Liman.
I know Favreau wrote it, but still.
Disney is pretty much done making live action original movies so these remakes have essentially replaced them. I do hope they dont go into the 2000s and start remaking everything.
Aladdin is flirting with $1B with a 57% RT score, don't think the reviews are gonna mean jack shit.
Honestly? I kinda like it. It's very short but I like the menacing spoken word stuff quite a bit, and I do think that it's good to have the stench of that far-right sex pest as far away from this as possible.
There is almost nothing I like about this movie that I have seen, but this is OK
No, you said that a lot of people in here are "part of the problem" and i say again, spare us the sanctimonious attitude.
You know what....Be Prepared is my favorite song in the original. Today i listened the new version and i was confused at first, not really feeling it, but after numerous listenings is kind of growing in me. It's different for sure.
What do you say about the following, is this lifeless too?
Maybe if they tone them down and have a real aesthetic concept they could be written in a way that makes them an interesting device.
Not really. Not only it's depressing but Esmeralda being a white girl kidnapped by roma people instead of being actual roma like in the movie is...
It's going to make a shit ton of money. I believe Fandago said had the 2nd highest presales of the year after Avengers. You can look at Aladdin to prove the point you're trying to make, it has a rotten score and will pass 1B.
Jungle Book II (was actually announced), Aladdin Harder, The Lion King 2: African Boogaloo.
I think people have long predicted that eventually Disney will set their sights on remaking Pixar's movies lol.
Of course they will. We're about to enter the 2020's. Nostalgia is already shifting towards the 00's.
It's always whatever people in their late 20s to late 30s grew up with.
The only "live action" Pixar movie I'd be interested in would be Monsters Inc.
