So close so close from being the greatest live action adaptation of all time. Okay so this review will contain spoilers so if ya don't wanna be spoiled watch da movie. With that said this movie was good it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be but it could have been great let's get the good stuff out of the way. For starters the CGI has improved drastically, the emotions on the animals faces are beautifully captured, the story itself isn't bad has an interesting concept about brotherhood, and uh some of the songs were good. Okay now onto the bad part it feels rushed like it doesn't take the time to dive into the characters since this is one of the few looks we have to the origins of Mufasa and rise to become king from becoming an outsider to a king. But Mufasa isn't rushed as a character or his development wasn't ruined in anyway but the other characters they felt rushed especially Taka, Sarabi, and the main antagonist Kiros. I wish they spent more time on Taka and Mufasa relationship throughout the movie so that there bond could have had more of an impact when the betrayal hit later on also they changed the story drastically on how Scar got his Scar in Canon he got his Scar from a snake while he was a member of the lion guard but in this movie Kiros gave him the Scar after he tried to selflessly save Mufasa and we have this cool moment before where he hears his mother say your moment of bravery will come. I just think and hear me out they should have introduced the Roar of the Elders in that scene because it would have tied in with everything because in that moment Taka was conflicted whether to save Mufasa or not and due to his 'fearless' actions he was gifted the roar of the elders which sets up nicely since we know how interested he was in the throne and after saving Mufasa could have made him the leader of the Lion Guard as a way to recompensate for his betrayal by serving the pridelands and not himself. As for sarabi diving more into her homeland and family would have been awesome. And Kiros rising to become the leader of the Outsiders and get a sneak peek to his backstory and what made him turn out the way he did. But that it the movie isn't bad by any means just only if they focused on honing the characters and polishing the story adding a bit of suspense since we kinda know what's going to happen then the movie would have been an instant 10/10 but it's these lil things that just fumes me because it's so simple and yet they miss it but credit to the Actors director and everyone who partake in making this movie they clearly had a lot of love and passion for the original but just couldn't execute it properly oh also Timon and Pumba are kinda annoying they take u out of the story every once and a while and it's kinda irritating but other than that def reccomend to watch or wait for it to come to Disney Plus either way worth it 8.5/10 PS some of the songs get repetitive as they repeat most of the same lines within the song like how Taka always wanted a brother they kinda repeat how "I always wanted a brother" more than ten times within the song which is kinda lazy. And uh oh I kinda get why Taka gone evil since he felt betrayed by his brother but I felt that it would have made more sense if they added more scenes with Taka and Sarabi to make us believe that it was almost going to happen also increasing the length of the movie to give Taka more reason to wanting to go bad would have done him service.

This shows that even though Disney have sent half pieces of mediocrity for the past few years that doesn't mean they cannot produce gems like these. This film is without a doubt a masterpiece of its own, not only can woman relate to it but men, all of us can relate to the struggles she had to endure to get to where she was. Being an athlete like myself what she did was incredible and I relate to on personal levels I had people try putting me down just like her father at the beggining and the unjust policies of society at the time trying to take her passion her dream away but, just like the uncharted waves she kept swimming foward despite obstacles even swimming through red jelly fishes which is an enormous feat of its own. Daisy Ridley put on a remarkable performance as Trudy not to mention her performance breeded so much life and personality in her interpretation of Trudy easily better than Rey💀 overall. Anyways definetly recomend it especially for those looking for a Disney W cause man this diffenetly threw a life line

This sequel is mediocre. Let's address the negatives first: There are numerous plot holes, starting with Captain Hook's flying ship during WW2. Why didn't any planes notice or report it? Why didn't Hook go directly to Pan's hideout, especially since he supposedly blew it up and knows the way? The crocodile's offscreen replacement with a poorly-designed octopus was disappointing. Character changes are drastic and poorly fleshed out. Peter Pan's sudden emotional shift feels insincere. Tinker Bell's near-death due to disbelief is illogical, given how many people likely don't believe in fairies. The Lost Boys are annoying and lack depth compared to the original. Hook is portrayed as foolish, unable to distinguish Jane from Wendy or use the same method to kill the octopus as he did the crocodile. On the positive side, the animation is beautiful, and the world of Neverland is vividly detailed. Wendy is amazing, and while Jane starts off annoying, she improves after spending time with the Lost Boys. Smee remains true to his character. The scene where Wendy tells her son about Peter stealing Hook's treasure is impressive. The ending, where Peter meets a grown-up Wendy who still believes in him, is touching and reflects the importance of holding onto childhood memories. Overall, the movie is just average. Die-hard Peter Pan fans might have mixed feelings, but Hook being bullied by the octopus provides some laughs, albeit not as much as the original crocodile.

In my opinion is one of Disney most underated live action film of all time it was a great film from start to finish the animation and world design was phenominal the characters were charming, although there were scenes that could have used some refinement but none the less it was still a great time to watch. It could have been better if more time was spent in Tomorrowland but it was still a good movie since we got enough time to get to know the characters personally and watch them grow. For me personally I love Frank his character is so interesting how we are introduced to a younger version of him who is bright and optimistic then later on he becomes bitter and old then eventually changes and becomes the same person he was in his youth after meeting the other protagonists. Speaking off Casey was an amazing character as her eccentric and curious personality shined I love all the witty remarks her and Frank share through the movie and her willingness to make a difference was inspiring. Lastly Athena is a remarkable character as she helps both Frank and Casey come to Tomorrowland to help save their world from a terrifying event that was supposed to come, early on she is kinda bland but eventually we see her personality shine through and the strong connection she has for Frank. The message this movie conveys about making the planet a better place is powerful and how to never give into despair. I will give this movie a 8/10 if there was more time spent on Tomorrowland and less monolouging happened and more action then it would have been easily a 10/10 flick

An amazing show showing more depth into how the war began and how it stays true to the source material and the characters are litterally how they are in the animated show and they finally are not saying Ong so instantly a 5 stars

This is the movie where they go back to get Turkies off the Menu🙌🏻👑
