A live action adaptation for a modern day audience. (0 more)
Felt empty to fans of the original Disney classic (imo) (0 more)
Disney+ (Ha, get it)
Although this contains spoilers, its doesn't differ much from the original plot (like at all).

In a tradition that we have now become accustomed to when it comes to disney, this live action adaptation seemingly fails to hit home like the original animated classic.

Parts of the songs were missing, beyonce as nala felt empty in some parts.

This movie sticks to the original story & some great voice overs in most cases.


Although it's something I'd happily watch again, I'd rather wait 20 mins for my vhs tape to rewind and sit through the trailers (and that's after I've gone through the trouble of setting up my vcr) and watch the animated version.

I know that a live action adaptation is suppose to go for the realistic look, but would it really be that bad to have made the characters look exactly like their animated counterparts?? Make the bird blue, give scar a black mane etc.

Absolutely loved the timon and pumba scenes. (Definitely wanna see a live action lion king 3: Hakuna Mutata and maybe Robin hood (fox version lol) )

Overall a 7/10 (ish)

A wonderful adaptation.
The series is filled with with the same magic as the source material. You have a loveable cast that deal with real issues in relatable way. My only issues are with the last three or so episodes which is why the review gets an 8 out of 10.

When it comes to remakes or re-visions of old films I often find myself asking why? But as the original 1990 It felt very restrained and safe there really was room for potential with this adaptation. It is extremely watchable and enjoyable
Critic- Sharuna Warner
Original Score: 9 out of 10

Pet Sematary (2019) just goes to show that when it comes to certain stories, sometimes read is better.
Handsomely produced and atmospherically shot, this re-adaptation of Stephen King’s powerful exploration of grief serves to underline the key message of the original novel: it’s best to let dead things rest...

I haven't read the book so cannot compare but when I saw that it was an adaptation from a Jo Nesbo book I was hopeful it was going to be good. The start of the film piqued my interest but it was downhill from thereon. I found it confusing and guessed who the killer would turn out to be. Disappointing.

I love this adaptation of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The casting for every character is pretty much spot-on, in my opinion. It honors the story, which is the most important part.
Also, I have to mention that this was the first movie I say James McAvoy in, and it made me a life-long fan. <3

This gripping and thrilling King adaptation became notorious for one of many gruesome scenes that gave rise to a new definition of the word Stalking.
It's quite Hitchcock like in its execution and the level of suspense is palpable and very dark, Bates chills to the bone as her character mutates from number 1 fan to absolute psycho. Edge of the seat viewing!
