I love The Lion King! It is one of my favorite movies and hands down the best Disney movie. But this mess was painful! The voice over was so poor and uninspiring AND the script was somewhat boring that I actually wanted to see the hyenas win just to spice it up a little. Visual effects of course were stunning! I'm cool with live action remakes but please do a better job of casting!!! No emotion no inspiration no nothing from this cast but a few minor laughs! Did love James Earl Jones though. I actually rooted for the hyenas!

It's better to stick to the original spirit of a film and then update it, than to do the same movie but cut out good parts from fear of causing offense. News flash: everyone is offended by something!
