remake "The Lion King" from Disney starts in the Russian box office only on July 18, but the first reviews of the film have already begun to appear. Emotions are divided audiences, who managed to get to the closed pre-premiere screening. We collected the most interesting.
#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

"The Lion King" visually perfect, a new level of visual effects. It is absolutely amazing in every way. Music hearty (Glover and Beyonce raise it to another level), setting gorgeous (Timon, Pumbaa and scars are very good), emotions are running high to the limit. Really cool.
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.)

Damn, I really fell in love with "The Lion King." I think in this film the most beautiful special effects that I have ever seen. This is a whole new level, a new strip. (By the way, I am indifferent to the original film, and I do not have any sense of nostalgia. In any case, the film caught me.)
Just saw #TheLionKing and it was absolutely breathtaking! The music, the visuals, the voice acting... whatever your feelings on Disney remakes, this one will blow you away. pic.twitter.com/Dk9MdZnKBe

Looked "The Lion King", and it was just exciting! Music, visual effects, voice... no matter how you feel about the remake of Disney, the film will surprise you.
The Lion King is so good, I could not tell which talking lions were real & which talking lions were cgi.

"Lion King" is so good, that I can not say what the talking lions were real, and which ones - computer graphics.
#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

"The Lion King" was always my favorite cartoon Disney, and this new version perfectly resembles why. I am glad to once again feel the familiar tingling, emotions and tears. Thrilled with the wizards, who were engaged in visual effects. Timon and Pumbaa - just awesome.
oh man #TheLionKing delivers. It's a visual masterpiece that will leave you smiling and crying the whole time. It's a true testament to the lasting effect Disney movies have on all generations. Timon and Pumbaa steal the show. And BEYONCE!!! #LionKing

It is a visual masterpiece that will make you smile and cry all the time. This is a true testament to the fact that the Disney films - for all generations. Timon and Pumbaa deserve special attention. And of course, Beyonce!
Did we need a live-action version of #TheLionKing? Maybe not. The OG Lion King still holds my heart forever, but this version is beautifully crafted by Jon Favreau, aptly voiced by great talent and all gives me all the feels on being back on Pride Rock. pic.twitter.com/aZYKpUrCh0

Do we need a live version of "The Lion King"? Probably no. My heart still belongs to the original film, however, and the new version is made by John Favreau just well, with the talented voice acting, and all this makes me feel again the Rock Ancestors (Pride Rock).
#LionKing I've only ever openly cried in 4 movies in my life. It's now 5! Movie is absolutely fantastic. Worthy of the 1994 original. Opening scene had me bawling like a slobbering baby. Hilarious, nostalgic, filled with heart. I loved it.

I cried for all his life only four films. Now five! The film is absolutely fantastic. Worthy of the original 1994. The opening scene made me cry, if I slobbering child. Cheerful, nostalgic soul. I liked very much.
Just walked out of #TheLionKing. Overriding reaction: SIMBA IS SO CUTE. But really, if you're hoping this will be a near-exact adaptation of the animated movie with some absolutely jaw-dropping visual effects, you'll get what you're looking for. pic.twitter.com/14BydbdhCx

Just come out with "The Lion King." First reaction: Simba's so cute. But in fact, if you're hoping that it will be an almost exact adaptation of the animated film with absolutely stunning visual effects, you will get exactly what waiting.
There's enough new content to make it feel fresh (plus some genuinely hilarious new jokes from Rogen / Eichner - no one made me laugh harder) and they really nailed recreating the most iconic sequences. I found myself walking out immediately wanting to watch the original.

In the film enough new content, so that it felt fresh (plus a few new jokes from funny Rogen / Ayknera - I have never laughed so do not), and they do exactly recreated the most iconic scene. After that I immediately wanted to reconsider the original.
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. It was like being at a rock concert. Movie is going to make so much money. pic.twitter.com/rnU4qf92mt
- Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) July 10, 2019
I was lucky enough to visit several world premieres, but I do not think anywhere else heard that the film clapping so much. I was like a rock concert. This film will gather a lot of money.
Recall that the premiere of "The Lion King" in Russia will be held July 18, 2019.
