minus-squareHal-5700X@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoWait…people liked The Lion King (2019)?! 🤦♂️
minus-squareTheImpressiveX@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoIt seems they liked it enough for it to make $1.6 billion. And apparently it has an 88% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes.
minus-squareMaXimus421@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-23 months agoIt was a Lion King movie. Of course people paid to go see it. Box office profits (tickets sold) do not equate to an enjoyable film. I’ve never heard of anyone IRL or online claim that film was worthy of their time. We all got catfished on that one but I’m not surprised. You cannot remake a classic. It will work only 1 time out of 50. The odds are never good. Jungle Book was an exception, imo.
minus-squareCosmoNova@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoI know a person who loved the movie. Of course they haven‘t watched the original nor do they intend to because cartoons „are for children“. Some folks just watch anything that just gets advertised enough I guess.
