I'm surprised they actually made a second "live action" Lion King film, after the first one received quite some negativity, but I'm assuming the technology was there. This is more of the same, only this time focusing on Mufasa's origin story. As someone not at all in love with the other Lion King films, it did absolutely nothing for me.
The technology is nice, but it never translates into a nice or impressive aesthetic. The voice acting is poor, the plot is bland and predictable, and the few songs that are in there are atrocious. Maybe younger generations are happy to see films like this, I prefer something with a bit more soul and originality. But at least it's a decent tech demo.
