Természetesen a vizuális effektek terén beszélnek szuperlatívuszokban, van, aki odáig is elmegy, hogy a valaha volt leggyönyörűbb effektek vannak jelen Az oroszlánkirályban, és közel lélegzetelállító a végeredmény.
A dícséretek sora azonban itt nem ér véget, merthogy többen is kiemelik a Seth Rogen és Billy Eichner színészi megformálásában prezentált Timont és Pumbaa-t, illetve hozzáteszik, hogy roppant mód hű az alapanyaghoz a film. Összességében egy kiválóan sikerült remake-ről szól a fáma, de álljanak itt az első reakciók:
Absolutely blown away by #TheLionKing. Incredible visuals and voice work. Cried all my makeup off. Timon and Pumba brought me back from the edge. Would die for baby Simba. pic.twitter.com/YBpncCVowz

That being said, #TheLionKing does illustrate the limitations of projecting human emotions onto photorealistic animals that can't convey human expression. More in my review when the embargo lifts!

Holy smokes, I really loved THE LION KING. I think (I think) it?s the most beautiful effects movie I?ve seen. Like next level, the game has changed kind of thing. (For the record I?m agnostic on the original movie and have zero nostalgia for it. Anyway, this movie hooked me.)

#TheLionKing is visually immaculate & a game-changer for visual effects. It?s absolutely stunning in every way. The music shines (Glover & Beyoncé take it to another level), the performances are great (Timon, Pumbaa & Scar steal many scenes) & the emotions run HIGH. Truly great pic.twitter.com/lPH9Oo4ybb

#TheLionKing is a breathtaking visual cinematic achievement. I can?t believe this is a CG animated movie. Timon and Pumbaa steal the show. It?s a good Disney remake but was it necessary? Maybe not, but it?s enjoyable and families are gonna love it.

#TheLionKing is a landmark *visual* experience. I?ve never seen anything like it, and I think it?s going to change how we look at movies forever.

As an *emotional* experience, though?I?ll put it this way: It turns out lions can?t really emote.
The Lion King is a wonderful adaptation of an iconic classic. It has a few small changes which enhance what was already great and everything else is right on point. The CG can be slightly distracting at times but the emotion quickly covers that. Loved it. pic.twitter.com/9QmsP3PmNh

#TheLionKing has always been my favorite Disney animated movie and this new rendition is a beautiful reminder why. Happy to welcome back familiar chills, emotions and tears. In awe of the visual wizards behind this one. Timon & Pumbaa are everything. pic.twitter.com/IcWHgjHCuF

Been lucky to have attended a number of world premieres but not sure I've ever heard as much clapping during a movie as I did tonight at #TheLionKing . Was like being at a rock concert. Movie is going to make so much money. pic.twitter.com/rnU4qf92mt

#TheLionKing is exactly as advertised: a beat-for-beat remake of the original. Impressive animation and some ace casting choices (Beyoncé is a spirited Nala, John Oliver is an ideal Zazu) plus that music is still ???????? - but it?s more nostalgic rehash than fresh reimagining
