The Lion King - Movie Review (Part-II)

 I've loved just about every film he has made particularly Iron Man and chef and

I love the idea of him taking this and making it his own but he hasn't this

reminds me of when Gus Van Sant made psycho in 1998 and it was essentially a

shot-for-shot remake of Alfred Hitchcock's film and he added weird

things like strange visions and you know some scenes here and there but for the

most part I watched Gus Van Sant's psycho and I wonder why what is the

point of that film why is this necessary psycho was already a classic it was

already good everybody loved it what's the point of doing it again if

you're not gonna add your own spin on it and that's exactly how I feel about

Disney's live-action Lion King remake because it's essentially the same movie

and I will always love that original film and I will always want to watch

that original film I guarantee that any day I will always want to watch that

original film over this and I know for a fact that there will be many people who

enjoy this movie and who just want to see exactly what this film offers the

same movie just with a different look and more realistic characters and if

that's all you want if that satisfies you you're gonna have a good time you're

going to enjoy this movie but if you want a filmmaker to actually take this

material and put a spin on it make it feel fresh or unique you're not

gonna get that at the same time doing that Favreau would risk hurting a lot of

people because oh my god you butchered.
