Tori lovedMufasa: The Lion KingLoving the villain origin stories that have been coming out these past years. They weren’t all born wicked!
riki. lovedMufasa: The Lion KingUnexpectedly really really good. Worth watching it, because not only Mufasa gets a cool origin story, but also Scar.
- Skye Summer dislikedMufasa: The Lion King
Worst double feature of my life. Going from the amazing Sonic 3 to this uninspired, creatively bankrupt garbage was a travesty.
BUTTERS likedMufasa: The Lion KingLoved it. Disney needs to get the hint that good new stories are where it’s at. Stop making the same live action remakes. New is good. Not sure why they were in the middle of Africa and got sick of animating the Savana and went straight to blizzard mountain.
AnaJae lovedMufasa: The Lion KingPlease don’t ever stop making Lion King movies. I’m begging
- Clay Werner likedMufasa: The Lion King
6.8 - I tried so hard to keep my hopes up - new story, accomplished director - but maybe I was a little too high. It’s not bad but I’m ever so slightly disappointed. It filled in some fun lore about how this “family” came together, & little fun details like Rafiki’s stick & pride rock’s creation,…
Jikitiz likedMufasa: The Lion KingStory of Mufasa. Lots of revelations and juicy plot points. Mufasa story, you get to learn about him and his life 👍
zxki is "meh" onMufasa: The Lion KingA few tweaks with the character arcs and I would have given this a 7 instead of a 6/10. At least it's an improvement from the 5 I gave its predecessor. If the 2019 visual effects were stunning, then I have no words for these. The colouring, motion capture, animation, cinematography, and camera…

I got some sugar from my wife for bringing the family to this movie.
JAJoselyn ArriagaI honestly think they need to get over this realistic cgi thing . GIVE ME ANIMATION and COLOR. Vibrant color schemes with cute characters !!
AMArnaj MartinAbsolutely an amazing movie with a great cast and a beautifully executed story. The soundtrack was cleverly crafted and it’s almost made to be a sing along. Definitely a must see for adults and the kids. 10/10 would recommend!!!

I loved everything about it. It was very heartwarming and really helped us to see Scar. He was so innocent. His father really ruined him.
FGFernando GonzalezI went in not expecting much. but was pleasant surprised. Great story. We really enjoyed it!
BABrandon ArriagaI always wanted a brotha… it was a good time, definitely better animation this time around. Not an amazing movie but still decent especially for younger audiences

Same old story
AOAnnabelle OgunwobiLin Manuel Miranda did so well with the music in this movie
KBKevin BenitezKid friendly movie that had you on the edge of your seat at times. other times they started singing. Always nice to see the back story of Mufasa and Scar. Great movie to watch with family.

It was an exciting prospect to see what someone like Jenkins would do while up against the Hollywood machine, but it unfortunately feels like the machine won this bout, if not by knockout, then definitely on points.

After having been made and remade for the screen and converted into a long-running hit Broadway show, it might have seemed like “The Lion King” was a played-out property. “Mufasa,” under Jenkins’ poised and creative direction, proves there is still plenty of life left in the long-reining “King.”
