“The film executes the satirical component flawlessly. The comedic aspect does not completely overshadow the seriousness of the subject matter; neither does the severity of the issue turn the film into a gloomy watch.” –

Avengers: Endgame (2019)

“The film is almost three hours long; long enough to tie up loose ends, as well as give foundation to a new generation of Avengers. When all is said and done, this was the hardest goodbye in the Marvel Universe.” –

The Lion King (2019)

3/5
“So, is this film good enough to change our attitudes towards remakes? Not really. It's watchable but it barely tugs the heartstrings of our childhood memories. Perhaps the younger generation might find some joy in it, as we did with the 1994 version.” –
