Briefly.co.za gathered that David Ehrlich, American film critic, wasn't happy with the film in general.

He went as far as calling the film a 'disaster', having much to say on how 'underwritten and underused' Beyoncé's character is.

"Beyoncé also plays the role of adult Nala, Simba’s partner in the pride, but not even she can rescue a three-dimensional creature from five or six lines of generic dialogue."

South Africans can catch the film in cinemas this week and decide for themselves if they like it or not.
