everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Best movie ever!

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Holy hell, I'm old enuff (54 @ the time of this rabble rebuttal, fyi) to know that 97.62% of humankind are UTTER idjits, but I am quite honestly FLABBERGASTED by the negative comments on this hugely satisfying, big-hearted & enjoyable remake of Disney's classic 2D animated flick (a film I saw 3 times as a child when it was released, I loved it so much).I could single out individuals, but I won't - suffice to say, while all the star turns in this were pretty good overall (with the notable hexception of Idris Elba - whose line readings as Shere Kahn were so godawful that I actually thought it was Tom Hardy voicing our favourite misguided tiger until the credits rolled - yes, Idris was THAT bad! But I dgress...), I thought that without Neel Sethi's truly hexceptional performance, this movie could have TANKED. Not since Anna Paquin's Oscar-winning performance in 'The Piano' have I seen a child actor so utterly unaffected and BELIEVABLE - top marks, in my book - witch, frankly , is a MUCH better one than half the commenters here seem to be reading from!).I grew up on Rudyard Kipling, thanks to my Mum, who got it from HER mum, and to all those know-nothings who found this "too dark", I say "oy vey"! I especially snorted at one 'cotton-wool-wrapper' parent, who worried this film would be MUCH too dark for most 11-year-olds. Are you KIDDING me?? Y'know I could try to re-educate sincerely misguided folks like you right here right now, but I have better things to do with my time - just Google ANY article on the BENEFITS of Grimm Brothers' original unbowlderised versions of the classic fairy tales instead, & let the rest of us get on with the REAL bizness of preparing our children for the REAL world out there, m'kay? M'kay! LmfaoPhew! I think I'm done here. Normally I ignore stoopid "reviewers", but the number of you gathered here, like brainless sheep gathered 'round a watering hole (ooh! Slick analogy! Haw) have irritated my bowels SO much, I have to wonder WHAT film YOU were all watching - cos, flawed as it is (yes, I agree with one commenter that it was difficult to not "see" Bill Murray talking into a mic every time Baloo opened his mouth - undoubtedly more of a FLAW in the ANIMATION than Bill's fault - oh, & to the person who felt Bill's performance was AS BAD as when he voiced the woeful Garfield - hey - you're WRONG.) , this film ROCKSCheerz! Lozz (of 'The Horrorscope' review site)

This is what a good remake should look like. Not just that it has a new look with astonishing realistic CG but it also has an adapted storyline that varies from the original one but still very interesting.Really funny, music always at the right moment and fights very good composed.Definitely on my Top 7 of favorite movies

Appallingly bad. This mish-mash of new-age sentiments and zingy, slangy one-liners wrapped up in special visual effects has about as much to do with Kipling's wonderful adventure book as the Kardashians have to do with Oxford University. It's directed in a campy, wanna-be-cool style that can best be described as neo-faux Hollywooden car-chase. It uses animals instead of crash cars, but it boils down to much the same thing.Why (oh, why?) do film makers take wonderful books and trash them? Why do they take a genuinely moving tale and turn it into cotton candy? This movie is the cinematic equivalent of junk food.

This adapation of the orginal film made my jaw dropped a numerous time. I didnt think I could make this adaptation as good as the orginal animation they did but they proved me wrong. The stroyline was the same, with the same animals and characters it was amazing. I would recommend watching this to anyone who loves Disney films and absolutely loved the orginal, you think theu couldnt top the orginal animaton, well they did with this! I hope they do a good job with the adapted version of the Lion King with what they did with this one.
