Savaging the King

While the new version of The Lion King has been breaking box office records the crictiacal reaction has been decidedly mixed with some calling visually impressive but soulless. But for one of the more hostile reviews comes from Youtube channel Council of Geeks. The reviewer states he only went to see it because his Daughter was excited to see it despite his own misgivings. He goes on to give his honest opinon. The remake does not have the economy of story telling that the original had. A refreshing point of view given some elements seem to fall over themselves for every thing Disney does.
