The CGI was impressive, providing some beautiful cinematography and lighting to the characters. The Hans Zimmer score - also beautiful however most of it was recycled for the original.

Much like the score, the plot was great as we'll but recycled from the original. I liked how some minor characters were fleshed out a little more, eg Sarabi and Shenzi.

Beyoncé voiced Nala and god was it distracting. The star studded cast didn't really distract me as all of them were voice actors but Beyoncé was just Beyoncé. She wasn't trying to be Nala. I wish they had got a smaller African actress to play her part as I feel like that would've been so much more authentic. The songs were good apart from Can You Feel The Love Tonight, it just felt more like a Top 40 pop hit than an Elton John classic for the movie.
