So as many people would agree that the original Disney lion king is a masterpiece which is beloved by, young and old.

This on the other hand is some what lack lustre, the visuals and the sound are incredible, and I appreciate sticking to the original story so faithfully, but ( and it's a big but) ultimately this remake lacked the charm is the original.

I didn't fall in love with the characters, there was a distinctive lack of humour, and the dialogue lacked the gravitas of the original. It's not necessarily the voice acting that lets the movie down, but the script and delivery are very poor.

My advice, just watch the cartoon. (I'm not falling for any more of these Disney live action remakes, I would rather keep my money and watch the originals).
