I saw it with my wife, we both thought it was really good. The visuals were astonishing. There's something it does better than the original (Timon & Pumbaa, fleshing out Simba a bit more) and some things it does worse (Scar) but I think it's well worth going to see, especially if you're a fan of the original. The realistic visuals may take away from some of the creative energy of it, but it also makes it easier to take seriously and gives the whole thing a more epic, Shakespearean feel, particularly towards the end.
