Plot: A live-action musical drama adaptation of Disney's 1994 classic animated film by the same name. It tells of a lion named Simba and his journey of becoming king, which is not easy path as his uncle has plans of his own to take over the throne. The battle for Pride Rock results in Simba's exile but with help from two newfound friends, he will return for what is rightfully his!!


My Movie Review: The movie is photorealistic for its own good features such virtual triumph:0 The Lion King is an event not to missed prepare to be mesmerize how this tale come full circle as history repeats itself for the better with incredible songs that fills the room- delectable sound and strong voices that make characters fully realized its a live-action take with astounding roar! Young Simba is the cutest cub acting like a grown up lion as he appear cuddly playful matched with endearing voice and try to find his roar' that sounds like a squeal plus can laugh in danger! King Mufasa is mighty I never expect to like him that much keeping his kingdom balance and safe specially the cubs giving fatherly advice while showing soft side bonding to Young Simba:) Scar scream danger even just looking him intimidates pushing King Mufasa in the cliff tough to watch he make this stunning remake darker and more violent with the help of the bad hyenas:0 The action take up a notch in the fitting finale that is epic as lions get to fight for their kingdom:)

Metacritic Reviews: The new version amplifies and deepens all that is good in the original. The key is the visuals. Photorealistic computer-generated imagery renders African landscapes and animals with astonishing realism. This movie has such breathtaking visuals. The story is amazing. Just because it is a remake some people are hating on it. I truly believe that this live action is a 10/10 in my opinion. The Lion King is monumental achievement of technological advancement. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. This is a visual masterpiece! While staying true to the original, it adds something new and fresh! It is a visually stunning experience, Favreau does take his version to a whole new scale visually. There’s something about this Lion King, which, like the original, has its narrative roots in “Hamlet,” that feels so much more Shakespearean and — there’s no other word for it — so much more tragic than the 1994 feature-length animation, in which the story’s darker themes were subliminal, not center stage!!
