Could be better
I like it a little, really i do. But they need to work harder on their sequels! I don't like Kiara's attitude at everything, always mouthing off and refusing to understand. Simba is differen't, he seems more stricked and it loses his point of his character. The 'villan' characters are interesting though. Like Zera ( not the BEST motherly figure - haha ) But I especially love the three siblings Kovu, Nuka, and Vitani. They made the movie funny like how Vitani and Nuka argue. But if they made it less sappy it would be easy to get through. Why do they always make the second movies sappy? Well, almost always. Oh, there WAS this discusting saying "Lets run away together and start a pride 'all' our own" - think about it. Although it could just be my perverted teenage mind that could be blocking good judgement.

We ARE one
I couldn't say it was the best, I think they could have made it better, I don't really like the songs except for "He lives in you" I like the characters, but I think Kiara was a little too rude, other wise they weren't too bad! Simba didn't seem himself though, I didn't see the old Simba... :( Kovu and Vitani are my two favorite characters in this film. The animation could have used a little more color and not so much dimness. I didn't like the "plans for murder" dealeo too much, but it was interesting, I wouldn't say it would be bad for kids or anything like that, the only "scary" part about it is when the Lions fight, but think about it, its what lions do to gain territory sometimes. Besides, human beings have done FAR worse than lions have, that's the truth. At least lions figure out they're one, humans still quarrel about black and white, nazi and jew, fat or skinny. . I'm just pointing that out. . . I want to go outside without being worried I'll be kidnapped. I want to be free again, like lions are.

Even better than the first!!!!! I loved it!!!!!
such a cute movie. I loved it even more than the first, but it is quit scary for children under around eight. There are great morals to it. If you think the bad lions are bad role models that is only in the first half. In the end, good conquers evil just as it's supposed to and the "bad" lions realize the error in their ways.

Surprised at how good it actually was
The lion king is my all time favorite movie so I was a little weary when this movie was announced (after seeing lots of horrible sequels to disney classics). When I found out that it was going to be direct-to-video, I was completely put off, but for some reason I bought the movie the day it came out... ...and I loved it... ....fans of the original lion king will be satisfied by this worthy sequel as it continues the saga of Simba through her daughter Kiara. Her love for Kovu was extremely touching, definitely one of my favorite movie couple ever. But to be frank, there are some points in the movie that needs work. The music by itself is great but when compared to the first lion king, is an absolute letdown. For me only 3 songs are really good and memorable: "He lives in you", "We are one", and "Love will find a way". "Upendi" is great, "My lullaby" isn't bad, but not good either, while "One of us" was definitely the worst of the lot, I would always skip that scene whenever I watch it. But even though the music seems to have been rushed, the movie is still memorable and is definitely a worthy sequel to the lion king. Anyone who has watched the first shouldn't miss this great sequel.

I practically grew up with lion king movies.They're beautiful and they give good messages (in my opinion). It might be a little scary for kids under 9, though.

Nice!!
I have no BIG pointers, but it's really twisted version of Romeo and Juliet. I thought this was a smidge better than the first, but I liked the first's soundtrack MUCH MUCH more! Kiara is a great role model for believing and knowing the Kovu is good. And Simba is a bit too insane in this one... (not really)

Lion King 2
Not as good as the 1st movie. Still great to watch. Nothing that could disturb any child. I don't class kissing and cuddling as sex issues. Adults do it with there kids, so movies fine.

Good movie
This is a really good movie. I like it. There are a number of positive role models, such as: Kiara, for seeing the good in Kovu; Kovu, for learning to think for himself; Vitani, for changing her ways as the movie goes on; and MORE! There's positive messages, too. One of them is that "Love will find a way" (I just quoted a song from this movie!). Another is that you should let go of your grudges and past hatred. Now, to get to the part where I argue against stuff i don't agree w/. Common Sense Media said that "several characters die". However, there are only two characters that die in this story. Those characters are Nuka (Kovu's mean yet humorously child-like older brother) and Zira (pronounced "ZEE-ruh", and her name means "hate" in Swahili...and "hate" is what she's filled with!). TWO is NOT "several"! And, to those who said Kiara "mouths off too much", I'm here to tell u ur WRONG!!! So, be not stupid. See the movie!
