Honestly, I’m glad they listened to audience criticism and did their best to fix the problems the 2019 film had, since this was *definitely* an improvement. 😅
Watched it yesterday and I can only say this: Ignore the critics score. This was such a fun and emotional movie to watch! A really nice addition to the Lion King universe and in many ways better than the remake. There were 2 - 3 things where I personally wished that they would have happened in a different way but besides of that really really satisfied. - A fun adventurous story - A lot of wise words from our favorite mandrill (and he's no baboon!) - Beautiful african flair - Fun new songs and an epic orchestral score - Some really emotional moments which even made me tear up - The third act is just epic and quite action packed - Known and beloved characters are getting more depth and I love them even more now (and don't worry, we don't have an Episode 8 Luke Skywalker character destruction with Mufasa here or anything. Really the opposite is the case. Respectful handling with all of them) - Kiara is to cute to handle - I think there isn't one new character that I didn't liked. Was even surprised how much I liked Obasi at the end since he seemed to be a total ** at first - I loved the villains - Yes, the animals are REALLY expressive this time - Amazing CGI and landscapes again. Loved all the different biomes I can only pledge to all of you to give this movie a chance. This one doesn't deserve to flop. It deserves to be a success. More than any remake. Thank you, Barry Jenkins! Giving this movie a 8/10 right now because of the 2 - 3 things that I would have liked a bit differently. But I will go up to a 9 after I'm getting used to them after some rewatches.
@@silashurd3597 I think it's both. While the haters are mostly only annoying the critics can actually really prevent people from going to watch this with their in my opinion overly harsh reviews and critic score on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I can see where they are coming from with some points but all in all their criticism feels really exaggerated to me and almost none of their points really disturbed me that much during my watch at all to give this movie a rotten rating or such. Hoping for a much higher audience score but looking at the first reviews on Rotten Tomatoes it already looks excellent!
Honestly, some of the complaints about this movie were really obnoxious and repetitive to the point that it got on my nerves. To the point that I started considering watching it to form my own opinion. At best, it would probably be okay, but if I don't like it, it won't be the end of the world.
I feel the Sonic 3 vs Mufasa debates are getting toxic. I haven't watched the Sonic franchise and will certainly watch it now to prepare for Sonic 3 but still I feel like these debates are becoming pretty toxic. I was excited for Mufasa after the trailers but the reviews have been disheartening. Hopefully I enjoy it.
Were doing a double feature, because why cant we like both? Both animation eye candy and nostalgia hit. I agree the debates are tiring. I wish it could be seen like barbenheimer
I saw Mufasa last night (opening Thursday), and I really like it! Facial expressions were upgraded, the score is awesome, and the characters are intriguing. I'll agree that the villain song "Bye Bye" is unexpected, but I find it a little funny how Kiros, an undeniably scary lion, says bye-bye in an almost lighter tone than how he usually speaks. I'd argue that while Mufasa choosing to keep Scar in Melele can come across as foolish, it's an example of Mufasa being understanding and kind to a fault. His attempts to ask the elephant herd for help at the canyon is proof. I appreciate how this movie approached Taka's descent into Scar.It's all his own choice. It wasn't a case of Maleficent where he was a victim or justified in his actions. This movie used a lot of what the 2019 remake, which I love, set up in dialog, and I love it. Are we going to talk about how this movie potentially set up Kion from The Lion Guard?
But it's not normal that Mufasa took everything Taka wanted, first of all he knew that Taka loved Sarabi he even helped him but ended up stealing his crush and becoming king when it was Taka's biggest dream to become king and he expected Taka not to say anything??? No wonder in the previous film he was very arrogant in front of him
@okariolu1584 1. Mufasa did everything but yell at Sarabi to give Taka credit and glory. At the point of their song, Sarabi sees through Myfasa's lies and wants him to admit it. In this film and Lion King 2019, Sarabi CHOSE Mufasa over Taka. 2. Mufasa didn't take kingship, it was given to him by the inhabitants of Melele. Mufasa initially rebuked them until Rafiki stepped in. Taka could've claimed kingship or challenged Mufasa then and there, but he didn't. He asked Mufasa for forgiveness and then acknowledged him as "your majesty."
I've been a fan of all things Lion King for years (Besides the 2019 remake) and I really enjoyed this movie! The movie is already getting review bombed which I think it unfair, mainly by the toxic side of the Sonic Fandom. Why not just enjoy both films? I'm excited to see Sonic 3 as well.
THIS I’ve noticed that a lot of Sonic 3 fans were very toxic and hateful towards this movie during the trailers. I don’t like how they’re treating this as a competition. I don’t think anybody truly saw these films as competitors except for toxic Sonic 3 fans
It was a colossal improvement from the 2019 remake! I was certainly invested into the story and was actually happy to have a proper VILLAIN again with Kiros! I seldom take critics reviews of movies as gospel. The opinions of the people are more important and I think everyone will agree that Mufasa, while not perfect, is a very good story. One that I’m definitely going back to watch again!
People have PTSD over "Live Action Remakes " from Disney, which fair. But this isnt a live-action remake. Its a new story and dare I say a cgi animation and not live-action. Think people are tossing out these terms willy nilly not fully realizing what they are saying and what Disney is actually doing with this Lion King installment. The Animations are their own thing, the CGI Lion King is doing its own thing borrowing from the franchise. Its not meant to be a 1:1 just like the Broadway Musical isn't a 1:1. With that out of the way, people need to give this one a honest chance and not piss on it for following the crowd. We got new music from Lebo M which we NEEDED in the 2019 one, the animation and background are eye candy, the story fills in some interesting holes from the original and its neat to see how the characters got from A-B. There is alot here to just pass up. I really hope people look past their biasas for this one because man, I'm so tired of the hate around these films.
Fair point! It’s more along the lines of movies like Dinosaur in that regard. I think the reflex is to call it “live-action” is because the 2019 remake followed the pattern of retreading old films but in a live-action style. People defaulted to calling it live action because it was realistic, and I was guilty of assuming that’s how *Disney* was labelling it. In fact, that assumption was why I just stopped actively watching these remakes. I defaulted to thinking “okay, they’re not even TRYING.” That’s why people have lost a lot of faith in Disney IMO. We see the realistic style attached to a nostalgic property and jump to the conclusion there’s no effort being put forth. But hey, maybe Mufasa is the exception here!
After Mufasa: The Lion King I wonder if the Disney film makers are planning to make the version of The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride in the future because I would like to see Kovu make an appearence at last in the live action but I wonder how it would work out with Kiara's new brother Kion made his appearence at the end of that movie.
Tbh It is nice to see a positive review for once, most reviews I have seen have been mixed to negative and in all honesty I still want to check it out for myself because truthfully when it comes to movies, you should never go by what others always say, there are movies people like that plenty of reviewers especially the popular movie reviewers have said "do not bother" for, overall its best to form your own opinion. At first I was disheartened to hear the negativity especially since I was hoping it would gain a more positive reaction and reviews, because then it would have shown that perhaps people were being too harsh on the movie and show "don't judge a book by its cover" and also decrease this whole "Sonic 3 vs Mufasa rivalry" thing which I think really is just breeding so much toxicity and is really unnecessary especially the use of the constant redundant criticism "nobody asked for this" which really people are always using that for every movie they do not like, it holds no merit. I love Sonic but honestly this whole "rivalry" thing people keep doing between them is ridiculous at this point. I see why the Sonic fanbase is regarded as being one of the most toxic fanbases out there. Overall I am gonna give it a watch myself and form my own opinion.
I don't mind the cool settings so much. It’s clear they put work into that. I just don't think CGI will ever be able to capture the emotion and movements of the 2D animated characters. Actual lions don't have that many facial expressions, and facial expressions are part of what makes the characters seem alive and awake. Without that they just look like… lions, and they lose that “animals who are just like humans” vibe.
Thats why Berry Jenkins has made this film more animation-like. When you see Kiara or any of the Lions they EMOTE! My theater made A FEW "AWWWWW"s, when Kiara was on screen, because her FACIAL EXPRESSIONS where so sweet/sad/happy/hopeful/etc. Any time you could see exacly what the Lion was thinking and that is awesome!
Honestly I think Mufasa wanted to give Scar a second chance, they’re family and in the end Scar came back and helped save the day, and after awhile Mufasa decided not to forgive Scar but put the past behind them for their family but Scsr continues to sue in the past and plot his take over
I just got home from seeing the movie and it was REALLY good! I thought the story was good, the animation was better than the last time, and the voice acting was top notch! The songs were forgettable (to me...although not bad) and I wish to goodness that they had left Timon and Pumbaa out. But, apart from that, I thought it was really good...dare I say, great! I enjoyed myself. Definitely give it a go. ❤ EDIT: OH MY GOSH!! I just this very second realized why the villains were white lions! 😮 #KimbaTheWhiteLion
This is good! Also, The original is so good! I’d rather class this as a prequel sequel to the original movie!! Villains are so awesome and in prequels too! I’d love to see a Kiros prequel!
I loved the style, the facial expressions, the score, the story - only two critic points: Takas fall was way too fast (even if he is a teenager and Sarabi was his first love, yes, he feels very betrayed) it would have been better, if Kiros had found him, after Takas song and would have manipulatet him in his hate more. And after Taka saves him from the water, when the animals want Mufasa as king, that we see Taka/Scar swear revenge or something, because yes, Mufasa stole his destiny. But way after Taka said that in the movie. The second thing I didn´t liked, where the songs. Lin should have made the songs for Moana 2, because these songs weren´t nearly as good, as they could have been. They were just ... there. Of course no songs can be as good as the originals from 1994, but The Lion Guard had better songs
I'm still not a fan of the creative choice to make Mufasa and Scar adopted siblings instead of blood related siblings in the canon lore. Anyway, I rather watch this movie on Disney+ and go watch Sonic The Hedgehog 3 in theaters because it has my favorite character, Shadow the Hedgehog.
Being better than the 2019 film doesn’t exactly mean anything. That doesn’t reassure me. Maybe it’s good but I can’t trust Disney with my wallet. I’ll watch it later. However, it should have been animated.
i am going to watch the movie later today and i am looking forword to that and i hope they honor james earl jones i mean the fact that they got him to voice mufasa in the 2019 live action they may not do but man i would love to see them finaly add kopa in the this franchise as simba first child and be like a older brother for kiara a couble of things i like from the 2019 movie is they added a couble of more cubs in the pride and i always though how did nala managed to leave the pride land wich was nice to see the new movie and i did like they got away with the lets say germanic hyeenas and made them abit more scary and a threat to lion cubs
I would honestly say this, the choice is yours, do not go by what all the other reviews have said, because at the end of the day different movies appeal to different people, there are movies I love that have gotten negative reviews and people have said "do not bother" with. if you feel you really want to see it, give it a chance, you may love it, now if its something you want to wait till streaming for and want to go watch Sonic 3 or another movie thats playing in cinemas, then by all means, its your money, its christmas season and you wanna go out to see the movie your choice of movie.
This movie could be better than the 2019 version, but that's not why I will refuse to see it. I am tired of Disney denying its roots in favor of live action and realism. I feel like the studio is absolutely disrespecting itself and its Legacy and not giving people what they're asking for. They are struggling with their animated films, rushing and botching production, playing it too safe, not giving good marketing. It's almost as though they don't care about animation anymore. DreamWorks is stepping up to fill that void, and I am here for it. I just wish Disney would stop pretending that it doesn't have roots in traditional animation. And I wish it would stop riding off of the coattails of 30 year old mascots.
I will be watching Sonic 3 instead. Though I wish that was fully animated as well. But DreamWorks is absolutely carrying Western animation right now. With Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Bad Guys, The Wild Robot, and possibly even Dogman. I'm not sure what I said that isn't true. Thankfully Disney fired the last CEO who thought that adults didn't want to watch animated movies. But if you think Disney is not riding off of the coattails of 30 year old franchises, well just look at the video you clicked on and check out the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch. Simba and Stitch are two of the biggest mascot money makers for disney. And this company is pouring all of their money into these realistic retellings of popular movies. Meanwhile, they are crippling their other animated projects.
@DukeSar77 All of it isn't true. And like I said before did you forget Megamind 2, the spirit remake, Orion, the boss baby 2, teenage kraken, KFP 4, and etc? Dreamworks and carrying anything dude.
@@DukeSar77 And by the way sonic 3 sucks ass. Overrated for sure. Generic lazy predictable story, terrible predictable generic dialogue, mid generic action sequences, unfunny cringey kiddy humor, and etc.
Even if it's good, I feel like there's other movies that deserve more attention that barely get any like Orian and the Dark, Piece by Piece, Flow, Chicken for Linda, Robot Dreams, Look Back, Memoir of a Snail, and many others.
It is canon or at least one of the different canons kinda of like the direct to dvd sequels there is the cinderella:dreams come true and cinderella:twist in time
i haven't watched the movie yet, but i would like to know from you: would you have preferred that this movie was canon to the original lion king and animated in 2d, because the way i see it, there is no reason to make a live action prequel to a remake of a beloved classic. why not just make a prequel to the beloved classic if they want to bank on the success? even though the remake got a billion dollars, the movie was lackluster, like you said. why not just leave it in the dust?
Yeah I greatly disagree with you the live action Lion King was phenomenal and who gives a damn when everyone else thinks if you enjoy the movie so what not everyone has to like the same damn thing
I mean, it could be decent, but I'd prefer watching something like Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Piece by Piece, Flow, Chicken for Linda, Robot Dreams, Look Back, Memoir of a Snail, or even The Wild Robot.
Oh please. It's really good. Sonic 3 meanwhile is nothing but a generic lazy predictable story with unfunny cringey kiddy humor and cringey predictable dialogue.
“You should give it a chance” absolutely not the lion king should NEVER have been made live-action. It’s uncanny valley and there's so much emotion and expression in the 2D animated that the CGI cannot capture. This is a hill I'm willing to die on.
@@DisneyGirl2004 not the way a 2D animated film could have captured emotion. Live-action CGI animals are simply not as fun or versatile as their cartoony counterparts. With animation, you can give the animals humanoid facial expressions, and you have more creative liberty with the bodies and movements. That contributes to them looking alive, and not like puppets.
Don't care. READ THIS WHOLE THING: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel. Mark 1:15 THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS AND ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE IN HIS HOUSEHOLD? THEN PLEASE REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS TODAY, AND GIVE ALL YOUR LIFE TO HIM, WHOSOEVER READS THIS MESSAGE. THE LORD IS GOOD, AND NOBODY IS OUT OF THE CANDIDACY FOR BECOMING A CHRISTIAN. PRAY FOR ISRAEL. PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
Hey so, if you go see this in theaters you’re giving Disney money, so maybe don’t go see this to support disneys terrible business practices and shitty live action remakes? Just a thought. I feel like everyone just glossed over how the moana 2 crew was treated during production, do not see either of these garbage films if you haven’t already, thank you

- A fun adventurous story
- A lot of wise words from our favorite mandrill (and he's no baboon!)
- Beautiful african flair
- Fun new songs and an epic orchestral score
- Some really emotional moments which even made me tear up
- The third act is just epic and quite action packed
- Known and beloved characters are getting more depth and I love them even more now (and don't worry, we don't have an Episode 8 Luke Skywalker character destruction with Mufasa here or anything. Really the opposite is the case. Respectful handling with all of them)
- Kiara is to cute to handle
- I think there isn't one new character that I didn't liked. Was even surprised how much I liked Obasi at the end since he seemed to be a total ** at first
- I loved the villains
- Yes, the animals are REALLY expressive this time
- Amazing CGI and landscapes again. Loved all the different biomes
I can only pledge to all of you to give this movie a chance. This one doesn't deserve to flop. It deserves to be a success. More than any remake. Thank you, Barry Jenkins!

It’s not really the critics, it’s the people who are hating, but yeah
@@silashurd3597 I think it's both.

It's true. Idk why people always feel the need to compete. Why not enjoy both? It's becoming less debates, but more angry ranting.
@Unbrickable27 Yeah, I am flabbergasted to see how Sonic 3 fans can't tolerate those excited for Mufasa or those who gave positive reviews to Mufasa.
Were doing a double feature, because why cant we like both? Both animation eye candy and nostalgia hit. I agree the debates are tiring. I wish it could be seen like barbenheimer
I think Live-action Disney remake trigger them PTSD
How toxic was the debate between Barbie and Oppenheimer last year?
This movie fail because the mob wants it to fail. I actually really enjoyed it, the kids too. The animation was really well done.
Yeah the anti Disney live action people

EDIT: OH MY GOSH!! I just this very second realized why the villains were white lions! 😮 #KimbaTheWhiteLion
Agreed. This movie is really good.
Majority of its haters are definitely anti-Disney people who were gonna trash this movie regardless.
This is good! Also, The original is so good! I’d rather class this as a prequel sequel to the original movie!! Villains are so awesome and in prequels too! I’d love to see a Kiros prequel!

Honestly all the negativity around this movie is subjective and shouldn't ruin the fun for those who will enjoy this movie.
Sonic 3 will piss on the moon im telling you
I mostly enjoy it for background animals but they made the actual original story as it has emotions compared to KotPotA as I didn't feel anything
I loved 2019 remake
This must have to be way better than the 2019 version
Wow finally an actual positive review of this movie? I might give it a rent. Had high hopes but all the reviews have made me not want to bother.
I would honestly say this, the choice is yours, do not go by what all the other reviews have said, because at the end of the day different movies appeal to different people, there are movies I love that have gotten negative reviews and people have said "do not bother" with. if you feel you really want to see it, give it a chance, you may love it, now if its something you want to wait till streaming for and want to go watch Sonic 3 or another movie thats playing in cinemas, then by all means, its your money, its christmas season and you wanna go out to see the movie your choice of movie.

After I watch sonic i was alredy planning on watching mufasa to give it a try 👍
I’m just upset that it is not on Disney plus today
honestly cant get earlier than this
This movie could be better than the 2019 version, but that's not why I will refuse to see it. I am tired of Disney denying its roots in favor of live action and realism. I feel like the studio is absolutely disrespecting itself and its Legacy and not giving people what they're asking for. They are struggling with their animated films, rushing and botching production, playing it too safe, not giving good marketing. It's almost as though they don't care about animation anymore. DreamWorks is stepping up to fill that void, and I am here for it. I just wish Disney would stop pretending that it doesn't have roots in traditional animation. And I wish it would stop riding off of the coattails of 30 year old mascots.
That's all false dude. Especially the dreamworks part. Go look at Megamind 2 and KFP 4 for example.
Go watch Sonic 3 instead man
I will be watching Sonic 3 instead. Though I wish that was fully animated as well. But DreamWorks is absolutely carrying Western animation right now. With Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Bad Guys, The Wild Robot, and possibly even Dogman. I'm not sure what I said that isn't true. Thankfully Disney fired the last CEO who thought that adults didn't want to watch animated movies. But if you think Disney is not riding off of the coattails of 30 year old franchises, well just look at the video you clicked on and check out the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch. Simba and Stitch are two of the biggest mascot money makers for disney. And this company is pouring all of their money into these realistic retellings of popular movies. Meanwhile, they are crippling their other animated projects.

All of it isn't true. And like I said before did you forget Megamind 2, the spirit remake, Orion, the boss baby 2, teenage kraken, KFP 4, and etc? Dreamworks and carrying anything dude.

And by the way sonic 3 sucks ass. Overrated for sure. Generic lazy predictable story, terrible predictable generic dialogue, mid generic action sequences, unfunny cringey kiddy humor, and etc.
Glad y’all are enjoying it! I still think it looks like a corporate dumpster fire so I’m never gonna watch it!
Even if it's good, I feel like there's other movies that deserve more attention that barely get any like Orian and the Dark, Piece by Piece, Flow, Chicken for Linda, Robot Dreams, Look Back, Memoir of a Snail, and many others.
Quick question is the musfa film a prequel to the 2019 live action film or the 1994 animated film
Yes it is a prequel
2019 version. 1994 version backstory is revealed the spinoff disney show The Lion Guard
Both techinally
@@Owell_Owl The lion guard not meant to be canon tho
It is canon or at least one of the different canons kinda of like the direct to dvd sequels there is the cinderella:dreams come true and cinderella:twist in time
it have legendary Danish National Treasure mads Mikkelsen in it
Ima go see in a few days, hope it’s good.
You somehow got the exact same opinion as me.
Yea i know this was a good movie people just be following folks big upgrade from the 1st and it actually hits on the life before simba
i think it was way better then 2019 but a lot of things i did not like at all
Love the music, but I'm not crazy about animal-centric film. I wish Disney had used Beyonce and Lin for an animated African musical with humans.
i haven't watched the movie yet, but i would like to know from you: would you have preferred that this movie was canon to the original lion king and animated in 2d, because the way i see it, there is no reason to make a live action prequel to a remake of a beloved classic. why not just make a prequel to the beloved classic if they want to bank on the success? even though the remake got a billion dollars, the movie was lackluster, like you said. why not just leave it in the dust?
How does "live action" improve The Lion King?
Yeah I greatly disagree with you the live action Lion King was phenomenal and who gives a damn when everyone else thinks if you enjoy the movie so what not everyone has to like the same damn thing
I mean, it could be decent, but I'd prefer watching something like Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Piece by Piece, Flow, Chicken for Linda, Robot Dreams, Look Back, Memoir of a Snail, or even The Wild Robot.
Oh please. It's really good. Sonic 3 meanwhile is nothing but a generic lazy predictable story with unfunny cringey kiddy humor and cringey predictable dialogue.
@movielover7565
Huh, really? Well, is it fine if you explain your point a little more for me? Please and thank you!
Why do you pronounce mufasa as mufasra?
Lol this review has spoilers for the entire movie.
That should’ve just made the prequel hand drawn animation.
Yep he’s officially lost it.
No he didn't
SONIC 3
“You should give it a chance” absolutely not the lion king should NEVER have been made live-action. It’s uncanny valley and there's so much emotion and expression in the 2D animated that the CGI cannot capture.
This is a hill I'm willing to die on.
Uuh the mufusa film has emotion
@@DisneyGirl2004 not the way a 2D animated film could have captured emotion. Live-action CGI animals are simply not as fun or versatile as their cartoony counterparts.
With animation, you can give the animals humanoid facial expressions, and you have more creative liberty with the bodies and movements. That contributes to them looking alive, and not like puppets.
I've watched it.. And wow it's bad af
Don't care.
READ THIS WHOLE THING:
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.
Mark 1:15
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS AND ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE IN HIS HOUSEHOLD?
THEN PLEASE REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS TODAY, AND GIVE ALL YOUR LIFE TO HIM, WHOSOEVER READS THIS MESSAGE.
THE LORD IS GOOD, AND NOBODY IS OUT OF THE CANDIDACY FOR BECOMING A CHRISTIAN.
PRAY FOR ISRAEL.
PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
What?
Um, thank you... 🤔
I'm just gonna go see sonic 3 I really don't care about mufasa and Disney remakes
Sonic 3 is so much better
I hope it makes so much more money
Hey so, if you go see this in theaters you’re giving Disney money, so maybe don’t go see this to support disneys terrible business practices and shitty live action remakes? Just a thought. I feel like everyone just glossed over how the moana 2 crew was treated during production, do not see either of these garbage films if you haven’t already, thank you
But people are just gonna wait to see it on Disney +, which will still be giving Disney money 🤷🏽♀️
Please review sonic 3
