simbiosis 411 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 “It just felt like she was reading her lines” Alissa Wilkinson, VOX “She messed up the film” Khanyi Mbau, All4Women “Beyoncé's disembodied voice-over was just hovering over footage” Matt Patches, Polygon “All I could picture was Beyoncé in a recording booth, reading lines” Bilge Ebiri, Vulture I was really hoping, they wouldn't mess up this one, because I loved The Lion King as a kid, but reviews in general have been terrible. It currently has a 57 on Metacritic. Not sure I will watch it. An example of the terrible voice acting below: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoldeLorde2 8,389 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I don’t know if her voice is too recognizable or if she just can’t voice act but she isn’t convincing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zander 14,817 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I think the voice acting looks bad because of how the lions move their mouths. Lupita Nyong'o would have been a great choice for Nala though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina George 59,387 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I watched the movie and unfortunately everything that’s said in this thread is true IMO.. You can literally tell she’s reading lines in the studio and it doesn’t sound “natural” at all... I mean ofc she is reading lines and recording them in the studio but there was no emotion or acting..

Rudz Xinc 7,929 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 She's not a great voice actor. That clip is ridiculously bad. Look at those clowns Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 32,694 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Not a fair representation of what the critics are saying Most critics are actually criticizing all voice-overs for being unnatural and uneffective, not because it's the actors' fault but because the lines are bad and the photorealistic visuals work against the emotive dialogue.

HoneyB 26,866 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 It’s probably bad but I’ll reserve my judgement until I watch it I could care less what “critics” think I’m just happy about the music tbh STOMP STOMP 💋 𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕡 𝕐𝕒 ℂ𝕠𝕠𝕜𝕚𝕖𝕤 𝕌𝕡💋🍪 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
