Gonna make a bold claim and say that TROS > Lion King 2019.
TROS had better musical numbers, by far.

I haven't seen Lion King 2019 but if it's lifeless version of the original, then i would imagine it's at least not a mess of a film.
6 Underground is my worst movie of the year by far. Even if you like Bayhem, don't waste your time.

Yeah that was a huge waste of money.
The only joke I laughed at was the Thor joke when Hamsworth uses a hammer as a weapon.
For the Disney movies I've seen this year I would go:
Frozen II > Toy Story 4 > Endgame > Captain Marvel > TROS > The Lion King
I won't get to see Maleficent 2 before the end of the year, but I'm very confident I would've rated it over Lion King as well.

By hoping Snoke was the main villain behind it all, they failed to see Snoke's death was to boost Kylo Ren to main villain status. But instead of that outcome, we get Palpatine. Again.
Snoke in TFA was basically Palpatine. He was boring (as in, we've seen this before). Killing him off was smart, but he shouldn't have existed in the first place.

I'd go Endgame ≥ Toy Story 4 > Frozen 2 >> TROS ≥ Captain Marvel >>>>> Lion King

I'm similar, though I'd probably put some space between TROS and Captain Marvel which...in hindsight, Brie was given absolutely nothing to work with and the plot and action are just blah.
Go watch Black Christmas or fire up After on Netflix to see something truly awful.
Worst movie I saw this year was Fighting with my Family. I thought Stephan Merchant would put out something at least a little funny or amusing.
You should see more movies if you think that was the worst.
holy shit Captain Marvel came out THIS YEAR. Seems like two years ago.
I have litigated this time and time again but I hate the sheer cynicism that went into The Lion King remake.
I know there are plenty of worse made movies or movies that are super problematic but my worst of the year has to be The Lion King remake

I missed this post.
Yeah, the webbing acting as a metaphor for ejaculate. Peter and MJ having sex onscreen...on the top of the WTC.
There was a significant amount of nope in that script and I love James Cameron.
Conjuring Universe has some of the worst horror movies I've ever seen, but dammit I'm gonna lose my shit when La Llorona, The Nun, and Annabelle do their team up against the Warrens. Producer James Wan, man of the people.
Annabelle Comes Home is fun if you enjoy it like an episode of Scooby Doo rather than a horror movie
One movie I really enjoyed that most forgot was Ready Or Not.
The most bland movie i saw was Ad Astra.

Ready or Not was easily my biggest surprise of the year.
Alita was great and fuck the alt-right for latching themselves to it in their war against Brie Larson.

Ready or Not and Alita were two movies I thought I would hate based on the trailers, but ended up loving. This year in movies hasn't been that bad tbh.
Better than last year
Nothing as frustrating as Vice, Green Book, or Bohemian Rhapsody
Alita was weird cause i enjoyed it while watching but as soon as it was over, i was done. Had no interest in seeing it again and less interest in a sequel.
BUT I REALLY LIKED IT IN REAL TIME.

Ready Player One
1. Rosa Salazar needs to be a goddamn movie star, she rules.
2. I saw Ready Player One with a group and being the one person who hated the movie was the worst.
Haven't seen this movie yet but... why is this taking place in the day when the lyrics of the song say...
I think what I loved about Alita that might have been super off putting for audiences (other than her eyes) is that the movie felt very sincere and unironic.
Cameron has a knack for pulling that stuff off though ... like a film about the Titanic with a nude painting scene and sex scene in a car in theory also sounds like a disaster, but he's able to thematically make these things work. Puberty is kind of a big part of being a teenager so that probably would have worked.
She was definitely not the problem. She and Christophe Waltz held that thing together.
I was you. I saw it with a group too and afterwards, they were all gushing over all the pop culture placements. I just kept thinking how in the blue hell did they convince Steven Spielberg to make this film?
Experience the Skywalker saga finale ONE more time before it leaves theaters. Available on Blu-Ray & DVD later this year! You don't want to miss this!
This would be the final nail in the coffin. The way it's dropping I can see that being a possibility.
I guess the bright side of this all is that at least they'll know how not to fuck up with future films.
go see Cats or Black Christmas and report back.
I expected greatness from Ready or Not because the trailers were great, and the film delivered.
Biggest surprise for me was Crawl. I expected shit, but damn do I love it so much now.
Hellboy was the worst for me... which surprised me because I was certain Cats would take that.
TROS for most disappointing was heartbreaking, especially when Lion King exists which was a poor imitation of my favorite movie of all time. Then again, I didn't think it would be good in the first place. Nothing short of a retcon or massive timeskip will save that franchise.
Dora wins most pleasant surprise. I didn't think Nickelodeon would go out of their way to make it work, yet they did it.

desperate times call for desperate measures
The Original, Unaltered Trilogy. In theatres.
WITH TROS.
easy $2b
From the way that JJ Abrams interview was worded, it seems that any releases/changes of the OT has to still be approved by Lucas. So there goes that :-(
