I love the lion king and the Mufasa film was good but doesn't live up to the standards it should.
The casting was weird.
Some songs were cringe.
Scar, scar!! Wtf??
Great idea to make scar a friend and then changing etc. but he was pathetic?
Scar is meant to be the villain. Even if you show his side at least make it something we can empathize with?
He was a big baby in this movie, just a little crying baby. In the actual lion king he at least seemed intelligent? And worth some respect?
It's like they took a great idea and narrative but then drank a liter of estrogen before finishing the film.
It was pathetic. Also at the end when Mufasa is told his dad is dead, if you count, it literally took him 8 seconds to get over it 😂😂😂
How is that good writing?
I'm sorry, but if Mufasa's dad died at the start, if scar was less pathetic, if Mufasa had a stronger bond , if they had better songs , if Zazu was funnier, if they weren't pushing agendas... Then it would be another brilliant film.
Sadly, it's just a reflection of the decline of Disney. From masterpieces (like the lion king) to trash :(
Worth a watch, even if you like the original. It just falls flat of its potential in my opinion.
