Holds its own.

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2020)

This movie holds in own in time. It is not the original but compared to a lot of the live action movies, it keeps the fire of the originals. The songs don't lack the passion that a lot of the new live actions do. Also, the new songs give the characters added substance. The Genie's performance is Will Smith's. Its not meant to be Robin Williams'. He left giant shoes to fill...but Mr. Smith does a spectacular deliverance with his own flare. Overall, each character delivers dynamic performances in their own ways. For a remake over 20 years later, with live actors, this movie deserves it's place in the sun.
