Loved it!

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2019)

Grew up with the original and think they did a really good retelling with the new version. Yes, Will Smith played Will Smith, but he does in every movie he's in (minus Ali) so that was no surprise. People complaining about there being too much music have clearly not seen the original in quite awhile, as the remake is on par with only one new song performed in two scenes. Overall, it's charming with just enough CGI to make it fun!! If you loved the original, and keep in mind that this version is still geared towards kiddos, you should be pretty pleased!
