Don't listen to the haters

Great fun. Will Smith was absolutely the right person for genie. Does a sublime job of bringing his style to the role. I don't think anyone else could've pulled it off.
Musical numbers were catchy and fun. Kids loved it. This version probably brings Jasmine up a notch which in today's society isn't to be unexpected but I don't think it corrupts the story at all. I think the main role castings were bang on.
Would take a pretty joyless soul not to enjoy this but then again some people take themselves way too seriously!
