I really have nothing to say about this movie, which is the ultimate sin. I would rather your movie be laughably bad or really good then it just be forgetful and boring.

Let's start with some good things:................

Now some bad things: The only good things (including James Earl Jones' performance) about the movie are the things from the original Lion King. And even the stuff that gets ripped from the original isn't even as good. In the first one the animation is very expressive and has a lot of emotion especially when it's a dance number or something like that. but even when in the first Lion King when characters are just talking the animation allows the lions to be very expressive. The magic of animation (especially Disney movies) is you can take a picture of a character and you know exactly what they are thinking, if they are happy, sad, angry. And then I heard Disney made the film thirty minutes longer than the original and it was pointless and made the movie more boring. You know lions are one of the least expressive animals on the planet, so when you make The Lion King photo realistic it takes away from the emotion and life from the first one. There's a lot of shot for shots. I guess the actors (with the exception Beyonce) do a good job with what there given but you'll never make a Lion King movie better than the original, that's top tire Disney.

I honestly don't remember anything from this movie. especially that extra half hour it's like it wasn't even their. This movie had no reason to be made, besides the obvious ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$). A little story; My mom and I went to the theater to try and see two movies at the theater in one day, so we just watched Toy Story 4 which was very good, and we had about an hour break and tried to find a restaurant to eat at and of the two we wanted to go to they were both closed. So we found one that was ok. And when we got back to the theater I was like: now I can relax wind down and watch a fun, entertaining, good movie and what I got was a stupid, dumb, corporate mess. In short started off on a high note and ended on a stupid note. As of me typing this review now I gave it a 4/10 but this could easily go down to a 3/10 somehow managing to be worse than Godzilla King of the Monsters. By the way I'm marked as *No Spoilers* because there's nothing to spoil since it's just the same movie.
