I just watched this film for a second time tonight and I can't stop thinking about it. It's so strong at what it is. Not for everyone, but if you love film and dig the era, RUN to the theater.

It's climbing as one of my Favorite QT films!

What I loved about this movie is it didn't try too hard. It flowed and wasn't forced. The shots were impeccably blocked and I loved the long scenes with no cuts. Charming, warm and so well acted as the pair were the ONLY ones that actually talked the entire movie. Refreshing and original.

The movie is adequate, that's not good enough for this live action though. Lion King is a masterpiece story that has been celebrated for years for its emotional and timeless value. This version falls really short. The voice acting is flat the tone is wrong and there is little to no emotion felt during a very slow boring few hours.

The only highlight in my opinion is Seth Rohan and Billy Eisner. Past that? A very forgettable and hollow version of the story.

Oh and Beyoncé over sings everything.
