    I wanted the Lion to win...
    This started as a promising movie, impressive photography, good colours, and great scenic shots. Then the story began and it plummeted from there. Idris Elba is not American, and he cannot do an American accent. The acting is poor and the script wooden. The two kids portrayed are unbelievably frustrating, noisy, unruly and stupid to the point of being fake. I really really wanted the Lion to succeed, and quickly!

    The storyline drags on, surrounding the same theme and is intermingled with tussles with the CGI lion, which is about the best thing in the movie.

    Idris Elba should stick to roles set in London, it's what he does best, or at least act with a British accent, he's better than this dross.

    Poorly written lines
    The lines of this movie are so dull and repetitive. It's full of 'are you okay' 'okay' 'okay' 'dad are you okay' such repeated for a million times. Can the writers use richer vocabularies than 'ok?' It must be very easy to remember these lines as an actor. I would change the title of the movie to just 'O. K.'. A movie with good concepts and beautiful scenery is ruled by the robotic actors and their robotic lines. Some areas are not developed fully for example poachers, visions about his past wife. Also the ending is very outlandish and too unrealistic. Overall a less-than-'OK' movie, okay? End of the story.
