It looked about the same to be honest.Yeah, this doesn't look good at all. Am I having nostalgia goggles with Jungle Book? I remember that looking so much better.

The final sequence isn't great either. The big musical moments are probably the worst parts of that movie.
I enjoyed its grandeur and spectacle very much.The final sequence isn't great either. The big musical moments are probably the worst parts of that movie.
LMAO I never note that haha. I'm not good in listening to English.The best part is when the song gets to
"when it comes to exotic type mammals" and Will Smith shows up riding Ostriches.
Eh, I imagine they'll give special attention to nailing Frollo in a live-action Hunchback. Hellfire is everyone's gateway drug for that movie.I think there is a memo at Disney that these live-action adaptations need to tone down villians significantly because the new generation kids are too soft to witness genocide evil that sing killer showtune.
Can wait for what they do with Frollo of upcoming Hunchback of Notre Dame /s
God I hate the trend in all these Disney remakes to "fill in plotholes" for assholes like YMS and the Cinemasins assholes
Special shout-out to the word plothole.CinemaSins is one of the worst things to happen to media discourse. TV Tropes is pretty up there, too.
"you wanna know how I got this scar?"
Regardless on where we all stand on Disney/Death of Cinema/Superheroes etc, can we all agree Disney deserves a bit of sideeye for trying to pass off The Lion King remake as "live action" in all the promotional material?
It ain't fucking live action
Above 90%, probably. Whether it deserves that or not I'll see for myself in theaters.
I bet Mufasa was actually a bag of dicks and was responsible for Scar's namesake in the first place.
Batman v Superman had glowing social media impressions which were just normal people who saw the movie early.There has been a hell of a whiplash with this Lion King remake. After those initial glowing reviews, I'm now seeing critics shit on it?!
I maybe too cynical to think after all incredible high praises for CM, EG, TS4 and FFH (not sure if it count), another Disney remake will not play well with critics.
Well... the technical ambition is there for TLK.
Hot take: Movies that exist to push technology tend to focus much more on the technology rather than making a good movie and suffer greatly for it.Well... the technical ambition is there for TLK.
The movie honestly gives me GL prequel vibes in that they are more interested in pioneering new tech.
I'm sure Lion King will review fine. We'll find out today I guess.
But that side by side comparison in the tweet above is kinda maddening. Basically it looks like the people behind the film think that more realistic = better-looking.
And coming from a company with such a legacy in animation, that kind of mindset is a bit frustrating to see.
Oh well. The clip with Scar and Simba looked alright though.
Yup see: AVATARHot take: Movies that exist to push technology tend to focus much more on the technology rather than making a good movie and suffer greatly for it.
Favreau's films just aren't for me. Except for Chef, that was alright.The dour look of LK is pure director's choice.
Aladdin had eye-poping color compare to other Guy Rickie's movies (I'm looking at you King Arthur)
Did you just insult Elf?Favreau's films just aren't for me. Except for Chef, that was alright.

No one remembers Star Wars, don't be crazy.Depends on the filmmaker. I'd say movies that pushed tech are much more remembered.
Hah. I thought about putting an asterisk to explain my thoughts about Elf.
