It's just doesn't get going

Rating: 5/10 (31 May 2019)

I'm actually writing this review while still sitting in the cinema watching it. We're about 5mins from the end and really I'm waiting for it to start.
It's not a terrible film just not a good one either. The magic of the original is lost. Not just because of Will Smith as the genie. He does an ok job in role most will always remember Robin Williams for, so it was always going to be tough.
It's more than that. They left out the best bits from the original and the one or two points that were not so good, they kept it.
Simply put it's a film that just lacks and leaves you underwhelmed. Wait for it to be shown on tv one rainy Sunday afternoon and it will fill some time.
