In response to "Lion King 57% (63) -- nm*" by Beaker

Metacritic is at 56 (28 reviews). I don't get it.

They say it's the same film, re-done with a photorealistic animation style.

But the original was an 83. So, it has always been a weak story with amazing visuals, is that it? (Granted, probably not the same group of people)

I'm more suprised the original was only an 83. - Will Hunting Jul 11, 10:30
Maybe people see it as the remake for Psycho. Just because it’s the same doesn’t mean it’s good. Sprinkle in a dash of ‘why do we need this?’..... - Volnelk Jul 11, 10:29 6
- People harshed on TS 4 for being pointless and it's at least a new story. -- nm* - Reagen Jul 11, 10:46 1
  - Is it? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 11, 10:53
- Yeah, the Vince Vaughn Psycho comparison is exactly what I was thinking about as a comp. Plus, who's to say that the medium doesn't matter? - Name Withheld By Request Jul 11, 10:38 3

  - Maybe it does. David Ehrlich, which is someone I like to read, one of the few even, goes a bit through that road. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 11, 10:39

seems to be more the "Disney unneeded money grab" than the "racist" angle at least -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 10:28 6
- I agree with this, and the fact that they are cranking them out too quickly. -- nm - sycor Jul 11, 10:50 1
  - It is a bit surprising they are releasing it so close to Aladdin -- nm - oblique Jul 11, 10:55
- Yeah, but that's not judging it at face value. - Marlowe Jul 11, 10:38 3
  - Aren't you a "why do we need all these super hero movies" guy? -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 10:42 2
    - Nope, I never said that. I dislike a lot of them, sure, but feel free to see that I - Marlowe Jul 11, 10:47
    - uh huh -- nm - groiny Jul 11, 10:45
