Kinda spoiler but not really.
So I just got back from seeing The Lion King. In all honesty, I think people bashed and judged their opinions way too soon. I’m aware of things that people have issues with or think they dislike and so forth based on clips or trailers. Let me just say that you can’t really say it’s lacking something until you see the whole thing. For me, I can’t say if the facial is bad or their reasons for doing this or that until I see the actual film. And let me say that a lot of the issues people complained about were honestly better than what people are complaining about.
For my friend and me, it was good. We enjoyed it. We laughed and enjoyed some of the changes that were easily visible compared to the 2D version. Hell, even the adults and parents were enjoying the film!
There are times that you can’t always waste time and focus on the bad things when it comes to both Movies and TV series. Why waste time bashing on something that you hate? It’s more work, to me, than simply picking the things that made me smile and happy. I’d rather spend more time picking the things that I liked than what I hate. Is every film or tv series perfect? Absolutely not. You can say there are perfect movies but there are still flaws in there. But rather focus on it there are times it’s best to avoid that and focus on what made you enjoy parts or it as a whole.
For some of the things that I have seen people complain about the CGI of The Lion King, I think would actually be surprised and find things they would like and enjoy. It was a good film. If I leave a movie or see a tv-series and think, “That was good, great, or fantastic”, then it did its job. It entertained me. Entertainment is there to entertain you and attempt to please you. If you can leave and think about the film/tv show with a smile or saying you enjoyed something about it, then the film/tv show did its job. There was something in there they did for you to enjoy it.
Again, nothing is perfect. But learn to enjoy things for what is given. You don’t have to enjoy all of it, but at least wait and give something a chance before bashing it.
The movie was great for what they were able to do with it and in all honesty, I would see it again in theaters. There were good enough differences in dialogue and differences in general in a good half of the film, to me at least. Could it have been better? Of course. But again, the movie did its job. It entertained me.
Lastly, no matter whether it's in 2D or CGI, Mufasa’s death scene still hits you in the feels man. My heart.
