Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Minahzur Rahman It was a good sequel to The Lion King. I watched it plenty of times as a child, and it remains one of my favourite Disney sequels. If you're a fan of The Lion King, then you should also see The Lion King II otherwise don't. Most Disney sequels are pretty poor, but The Lion King II was an exception though it's obviously not as good as the first one. The Lion King II extends things further though a sequel wasn't necessary. I actually preferred if any of the sequels hadn't existed considering how good the first one was.

Matt Greene Wow. You guys didn't even TRY to make something fresh, did ya? Nice message about reconciliation, I guess...but honestly, who cares? On a bright note, Lion King 1 ½ is pretty fun. If we wanna watch a Lion King sequel, we'll just stick with that one, thank you.

Hermione Granger This is no match for the original, but it is a superior Disney sequel. Normally, they're just junk (like in Cinderella 2, there was a tradition of plum pudding), but this is an actual storyline that will keep you engaged. There are actually great songs, too! Nothing like "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" or "Circle of Life" but still a great song called "He Lives in You." Unfortunately, though this is not complete junk, there are some things similar to the original, like with A New Hope and The Force Awakens or The Little Mermaid and The Little Mermaid 2 (in The Little Mermaid 2, it turned out Ursula had a sister who also wanted King Triton's trident and was also voiced by Pat Carroll). So though this isn't a spectacular movie and doesn't live up to the original, it's still worth watching. I'd really give this 6.5 stars, but since that isn't an option on the rating and with it being better than most sequels, I give it 7.

amcmartinez So I finally decided to break down and write a review for Lion King 2. I might seem like I'm ranting but I'm just so tired of people bashing this work of creation. Lion King 2 is not bad! ITS NOT! And I guess a lot of people are saying it is because they are expecting to see Lion King all over again. Well my advice to those is to hit the replay button on LK because its not happening. Sequels are not meant to be exact replicas of their predecessors. So, those who are looking for that with this movie are going to be rudely disappointed. Having that said, I think it can be agreed that LK2 brought something a little new to the table.So first for those people complaining about the animation, it didn't suck. Either I'm blind or you are because I see the same quality animation as the first. Now I will admit LK2 wasn't as "flashy" as the original but it's not supposed to be. Its animation is more toned and a bit darker to fit the mood of the script. We can see this by just looking at Priderock , which had been shown from the other side to convey the shadowy feelings of Simba.Well since I brought that up I guess I'll start off with him first. Simba ,of course, is a big part of the movie. He is seen struggling to deal with his lingering hatred of his uncle Scar. He holds this resentment against Kovu and the Outlanders. Kiara is the daughter of King Simba making her a princess. She is strong minded and very independent. We can see this from her desire to do things herself and staying true to her heart. Bad-boy Kovu on the other hand is a lion trained by his evil mother, Zira, to befriend Kiara so that he may overthrow Simba thus, avenging Scar.In the end Kiara and Kovu fall in love and show others that love is the most important thing above all, no matter what you look like or come from. So the two groups put an end to their bitter feud and decide to join together . They now see that there is no difference between them because they're all lions; They are one.And so the light finally shines on the other side of Priderock. The story actually gives an eye opening lesson to people. We shouldn't judge others by their race or their background. This is still an ever so prevalent issue in our society that I wish would just disappear. Well that's the lesson I got from watching this movie. It seems though that some people forgot their "Upendi" and "Hakuna Matata" back in Neverland because they're so oblivious to the fact LK2 is a stunning movie that conveys a strong message.This movie was fantastic! Whats not to love? The animation was on key, the plot had good substance, and the characters are lovable and totally unforgettable. What more do you people want?! Not to mention the amazing song "We Are One" which makes my eyes turn into Niagara falls every time I hear it. *Sniff Sniff* (Now I miss Mufasa)...anyway. Asides from Lion King I don't think this movie could have did any better. Kudos to you Disney! Anyone who disagrees,oh well, I guess thats just you and your narrow minded opinion. #LEH
