You don't need me to tell you the story of THE LION KING.
The sing along is kind of strange, the text is bulky and awkward and far less seamless than the one for the MOANA Sing Along earlier in 2017.
It was certainly a pleasure to see it on the big screen once again.
A teen gang in South London defend their block from an alien invasion.
Surprisingly, the film only has a 6.6 on IMDB. While some parts are a bit slow and muddled, that's unusually low, I think.
The debut film showing of one John Boyega proved that this young man was one to watch, but we wouldn't see him again until...2013's Half of A Yellow Sun. Which is not a great movie.
But then Star Wars came along so yay. Besides him and Jodie Whittaker (Who is your present Doctor in Doctor Who), I'm not sure most of these kids have done anything else that's crossed to this side of the pond. They capture the spirit of youth very well.
With simply shot, engaging in the dark action offset by the aliens' glowing teeth against a ripping soundtrack by Basement Jaxx, if you haven't seen this yet, give it a try.
