A good film made great by Will Smith even for adults

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2019)

Whenever I see a remake of a classic film I prepare for disappointment but this film was a pleasant surprise.
It's a good film until Will Smith arrives as the genie then the film really takes off. He brings some good laughs and the pace really steps up.
Aside from Will Smith the acting is ok and the CGI and scenery is excellent.
It's a shame the music still leans on the original for the best song, with maybe only one of the new ones anywhere close to being one that may catch on but that isn't the end of the world.
This is a great family film well worth a watch.
