I'd compare this to watching the National Geographic channel but National Geographic programs are far more tense and atmospheric than this.
Jesus.
I don't see it as a "menace" to the original, it's more like a homage. There's always the 1994 version to watch.
I mean they steal the same damn camera move.Did they straight up rip the scream from the animated version?
This is actually the best thing I've seen of the movie yet, but that's not really saying much.
Wow it's basically a copy and paste of shots.
With the ultra realistic approach they're doing.. i'd rather they used subtitles throughout the film. Was never gonna happen, but it's better than this weird emotive voice acting over non emotive lip syncing.
Jesus christ at scars voice in the remake
All the early negativity could be to TLK's advantage, just like Aladdin. Lowered expectations and all.Sounds like people are finding a nitpick opinion and all jumping on the same band wagon, will hold judgement for now. Just can't wait to be, Friday!!!
Simba looks like an excited lion cub ready to frolic with his friends after getting permission from his parents.
Yeah, you're right. He doesn't look like anything at all because there's no discernible emotion or expression on his face whatsoever.
This is technically animation, it just refuses to utilize any of the mediums strengthsCan we go back to animation? Was The Princess and the Frog really the last one?

The realistic visuals with Mufasa's death scream gave me a good chortle
Mufasa's death scene was laughable, to be honest. The image of an ultra-realistic looking lion falling off of what looks like a short cliff to James Earl Jones' scream is like a comedy. Like if someone dubbed over a nature documentary for laughs. The gulf in emotion and expression between the two goes without saying.
lmao

Captain gets lucky sucks at direction? Shocker!!lmao
This is where I say that Jon Favreau fucking sucks. He doesn't even know how to rip off The Lion King right. Simba's reaction is made powerful in the original because it cuts directly from Mufasa's face to his. In the remake he decided to insert a shot between, for seemingly no reason whatsoever.
Everything about this just looks so stilted. It's unbelievable Favreau and MPC were allowed to seemingly work unchecked on this property. I bet this movie would be quite different (AND BETTER), while still under the mandate of looking photorealistic, if it had been worked on by Disney animators.
They should just get Harrison Ford to record a narration for the entire movie.Hopefully there's a VO from Simba's point of view explaining how he's feeling, and that aspect of the movie is under NDA.
Top critics is still rotten and I would be surprised if it holds that fresh overall, but yeah this one is barely making it it seems!It's fresh somehow again.
60% on rotten tomatoes.
One review I read said it sometimes looks like the animals are telepathically communicating due to lack of facial expressions Lol 😆

Disney is never going back to hand-drawn animation. Blame the success of Pixar for that.Can we go back to animation? Was The Princess and the Frog really the last one?

Holy shit we're approaching Mass Effect Andromeda territory
On the plus side, Scar now straight up bitch slaps Mufasa to death.
Welp, back to rotten again!It's fresh somehow again.

I absolutely loved the movie. I think this is one of those movies critics don't like while the audience does
