The Lion King (Favreau, 7/19/2019) Movie • Page 10

Graphically, that's so fucking impressive. But it's also pretty boring. Obviously they aren't going to do all the stuff from the original, but just watching them running and singing is aesthetically pretty bland.

Yikes

 

yeah, this seems to be getting dragged by a few publications.

 

whereas the Oscar-winning “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” now unfolds during the day, for some reason.

Lmfao what.

 

This is what I feared. The Lion King doesn’t really try anything new other than visuals. It’s just a live version of the animated film.

And this why I’m actually excited for Mulan which I’m sure critics will say departs itself too far from the animated film.

 

My reaction when Seth Rogen tries to sing on "Hakuna Mata."

 

leave seth alone!

 

I feel like Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner will be the best part of the movie haha

Also, it's a Disney movie based on a cartoon. They aren't notorious for every character sounding like an Opera singer

 

That’s what I’ve seen many say.

 

Rogen and Eichner are definitely the better part of the movie (though they can't sing like Lane and Ernie Sabella). The hyenas on the other hand are totally forgettable. Eric Andre and Key's voices are way too similar and the running joke they have falls flat.

 

I’m still surprised that it’s rotten though.

 

I'm turned off they did super-realistic expressionless animals, almost takes all the fun away.

 

Yeah when my gf mentioned that to me I lost quite a bit of intrigue. The emotion of The original is a huge component of its greatness.

 

Seems like a tech demo

 

I’m unreasonably mad about this movie. The stills and clips are so completely soulless.

 

Is this movie an example of “your VFX crew were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should”

 

Beyoncé goes in a little too hard on Can you feel the love. Otherwise beautiful rendition.

 

Absolutely false. Jeremy Irons Scar >>>>
It’s going to be hard for me to not imagine Brodrick’s voice being Simba. Or JTD not being young simba.

 

Well this is a take

Yikes lol

 

I couldn’t read it because I’ve already used my free weekly digital read

 

how is it not about how I Just Can't Wait To Be King is about a child thinking he deserves total unchecked power over a society
