I thought Mufasa: The Lion King was alright. I did not dislike it, but I did not love it either. I thought it was kind of boring. I always try to keep an open mind when seeing movies but apart of me did think the film was a little unnecessary. It had some good ideas that were not executed that well.

The main thing for me was that the movie seemed to lack heart or an emotional core. I did not feel anything toward the characters or the situations. It all kind of fell a little flat for me.

The music did not stand out either. The musical score was good. It was the songs that did not stand out. I do not remember a single song from the movie.

Mufasa: The Lion King is a decent movie that has some promising ideas that do not get executed well. Things did not click as well as they could have. I would be interested to see if Disney will want to try a sequel or if this is the end for the live Lion King movies.
