Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (25 April 2020)

I will try to wrap up this quickly and without spoiling anything.
Compared to the original Disney animation, this movie was not well done. The cast wasn't very well chosen, no charisma and no chemistry. Given the fact the region of where this movie is supposed to be set, the accents of the characters were weird as well as some of the conversations they were having. I think the crew had to pay more attention in this respect.
The songs as well - the music didn't have the traditional melody that Arabian songs usually do, and this bothered me.
I did like the story and the few changes that were made, but I wasn't happy with the overall performance. I don't think Will Smith was a good choice as a genie, but I can also understand that choosing him meant this movie gets more fame.
