Just to be clear, this is my all time favorite movie. I can't stress this enough. I love The Lion King (1994), but what I saw today was horror for me. The CGI was good, but everything else wasn't. I would recommend you to watch this movie only so you can appreciate the original at its true value.
They RUINED (and again, can't stress this enough) the songs (especially Be prepared). The actors were awful, plain, flat (except James Earl Jones, Seth Rogen and John Oliver).
Beyonce????? Really? ANYONE else could've done a better job, and I mean anyone.
Had NO EMOTION what so ever. None.
Missed important scenes from the first movie like: 1. Rafiki hitting Simba with the stick saying "it's in the past"; 2. Smart-funny conversation between hyenas and Simba/Nala/Zazu. ... and many more.
I wanted to cry when Mufasa died, but I couldn't because it all happens in 20 seconds and it is FLAT.
Also I wanted to cry at the end of the movie because it was horrible.
