Not sure why this movie is rated so low. The performances are fine, and the movie has it's heart in the right place. You get exactly what you pay for, but it just so happens that the film makers knew exactly what they were doing. The characterization, and raw menace of the lions in the film is out of this world. Most of the time, the "monster" is shown in fake glory with bad CGI and execution. Most marvel movies have CGI villains less believable. Yes, even Thanos looked extremely fake. The lions in this movie feel huge, and powerful, and each and every story elements is earned. It's not some shoehorned boardroom flick, where they have to hit all the beats. The film takes its time, developing and giving you time to have an investment in all the characters. And while it's not the best film in the world, I recommend it to everyone, as a good flick with a great "monster".
