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

Nothing can ever replace the original song and the first time I ever heard the first few seconds of the opening when I was a small child.

Why do all the white people have to be in the back or on the outside of this photo? Typical racist Hollywood.

Washington Post: 'The Lion King' is a fascistic story. No remake can change that.

You'd think the Washington Post would know how to spell "fantastic" correctly.

Never has an article more deserved the following --

review speaks a lot to my sentiments as I've watched the marketing for it unfold. I'll go see it - having 7 year olds basically demands that - but not really sure what point outside of making $ is.

Odds that the writer of the article majored in "__________ Studies" in college?

That was hilarious. Rogen seems to be an acquired taste for some, but I love him.

I've always enjoyed him but the laughing pothead schtick got old fast.

Yeah, suddenly seeing quite a few "good, not great" reactions. Basically every reaction I'm seeing is along these lines...

About on par with Aladdin.

Not particularly surprised at the complaints, which I expected. Mass audiences will likely love this like they do Aladdin.

I mean, mass audiences love the Transformers films...

This one is a rental for me personally, though I know others are excited about it.

To be fair I really hate the Transformers movies.

First one was solid then they kinda jumped off a cliff.

Though I will say that Bumblebee was surprisingly good, goes to show what a good director (Travis Knight from Laika) will do.

That's a really cheap shot at Cliff Jumper. He was just as good as Bumblebee, just flunked the audition.

I just haven't felt good about this one at all since the first trailer popped up. It just always seemed off trying to do a musical with real looking animals. Aladdin surprised me though, so maybe this will too.

For me, finding those in the toy section at Service Merchandise was like Indiana Jones finding the ark of the covenant.
