(CASTELLANO) Ha estado bien. No inventa nada, pero tampoco creo que lo necesite. Es una de esas películas que cogen una idea muy simple —un animal convertido en máquina de matar humanos— y la exprimen con bastante oficio. En el fondo es eso: Tiburón, pero con un león cabreadísimo en vez de un tiburón, y con Idris Elba intentando sobrevivir en medio de la sabana. Lo mejor es que va bastante al g…

This must be the filmmakers winking their eye at the audience, letting us know that what we’re about to see is all in jest. How else to explain a film where the protagonists arrive in South Africa and immediately start bitching about the heat, but they’re all wearing ja…
