In General; 2/10
We all know Disney's TLK! (If you don't, then its mighty odd seeing you on TLKS...)
But what about The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride? Well here is my review.
Plot; Um, well this cannot compete to TLK, thats for sure. While it does that "play theme", and I didn't care for the romance. I felt the plot was very overused.
Characters; This movie seemed to trash the characters from the first film, though you do see one hint of Nala from the first film - where she pins down Simba again. But their looks really threw it off for me. And Kiara was annoying for me. They had a chance to make they film better - not as good as TLK, but maybe better than it is now- if they had worked on Nuka/Zira. Instead of focusing on Kiara/Kovu. In the orignal scene, Nuka tells Zira, "I got your attention now, didn't I?" or something around those lines, but it was removed being concidered too dark. I - for one, would think this would be a amazing addition to the film. And the film also had another dark scene, Zira's suicude, though edited for the kididies again.
Music; I didn't care for it. Though I really liked "My Lullybye" that Zira sang, but thats it. It wasn't any Elton John thats for sure.
Oringality; Well, its better than Balto II: Wolf Quest, but...not so much interesting.
Thats all lovely readers, I've already sold my copy of TLK : II Simba's pride. My final words; This wasn't worth the money.
---Question
It's a good movie for young kids, but it doesn't come even close to the original.
