Lion King: ok so this review is gonna be different….im gonna give a brief summary, then I’m gonna tell u all what this film is based off of if none of u know…then I’m going to go through the major differences in this film compared to the original……spoiler alert….the changes in this live action remake are horrible….ill start with a trailer…..
• so anyways the plot….well the plot is….a king named Mufasa (voiced by James Earl Jones)…..has a son named Simba…..oh and he has a totally not evil brother named Scar…( voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor)….now right off with that said….I can safely say I hate this voice casting for scar….he sounds nothing like scar from the original…..I mean no hate to the actor….but he is no Jeremy Irons…..yeah Jeremy Irons voiced Scar in the original film….so anyways one day Scar tricks Simba into standing in a place while a horde of stampede start running towards him….which gets Mufasa to go save his son….yes he saves his son….Mufasa trues climbing up the side of the mountain but scar is up there and he punches Mufasa in the face ….he falls to his death…..yes u heard that right he slapped Mufasa in the face….🤣🤣….im sorry I can’t take this seriously….I know it’s supposed to be an emotional scene….heck the original film did a far better job at this scene…….so anyways u know how it goes…..Simba runs away, he bumps into Timon and Pumba…..many years pass….Simba has learned the simple life…one day his old friend named Nala (voiced by ….what the firck?….Beyonce?…..the hell….ok um yeah she’s voiced by Beyonce in this film)….oh and simba is voiced by Donald Glover…..sure ok…ill admit it’s good they got African American actors to voice characters that probably live in Africa…im assuming thats the location in this film……so anyways she tries getting simba to come back and take his place as kind….basically overthrow Scar because ever since he’s been king….the lands have been dying……yikes……he refuses….but 5 min later he gets a pep talk from his dead dad in the sky….ok then…..so then he heads to overthrow scar……battle happens……it ends with Simba killing Scar….well let me rephrase that he pushes Scar off the cliff…but his Hyenas eat him…..so happy ending……so yeah thats the plot….basically if u seen the original film…u know the plot of this film…..the only difference is this is a little over 2 hour film…don’t ask why….oh also this film and the original film is based on Hamlet……yeah….I wish I was kidding…..but lion King is based on Hamlet……if any of u didn’t known that….then….ur welcome
• so let’s talk about the differences i hate….well first off this film butchered my favorite song…called be prepared…..it was a song that scar sung…and my god this film butchered it….he doesn’t even sing the song…he just spurts out words….meaning it’s less of him singing and more of talk singing……how lovely…..
• my other complaint is the song can u feel the love tonight…….no I cant…because 5his film has that song sung in broad daylight…..🤦♂️…..congrats Disney u had one job….its in the title….feel love tonight…..its not….can u feel the love today in the afternoon…..…..I think its obvious why I don’t like this film….so anyways I despise this film….oh and the Animals in this film don’t have any expression on there faces…..yet the animals did in jungle Book…..so this has no excuse…..oh right the director said he wanted to make this realistic……oh yeah nothing says realistic like talking animals….🤦♂️….im giving this film a solid 4.6/10
