Went to see this latest Disney movie this week, The special effects are stunning and the movie is a joy to watch. We really enjoyed it visually and it's very skillfully done.
But the dialogue was dire, I hated it. Still think the movie well worth seeing however.

Yes, I agree, stunning special effects and colours. Took my 8 year old grandson to see it yesterday. Scar's voice by Jeremy Irons was perfect for the baddie. We loved it. Just printed off some drawings of Simba, Musfasa et al for him to paint.

Nice scenery, nice singing by Beyoncé. Everything else cringeworthy. The kids liked it and the cinema had air conditioning. Not my cup of tea.

Saw it at the weekend with children and grandchildren, they absolutely loved it, and to be honest, so did I, amazing special affects, definitely worth seeing.

If you go to one of those posh cinemas with sofas you can have a nice kip.

The kids sort of enjoyed it but it’s just a remake isn’t it? They said it was good but little difference to the original film
I loved the stage show when I went a few years ago
I think if you were seeing it for the first time it would be brilliant but why all the sing and dance about a remake ?

Thought this was amazing, stunning film work and we thoroughly enjoyed it as much as the orginal.

This was one of the few stage shows I didn't enjoy. I won't bother with the film.
