Good, not great!

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2019)

They used this movie as a platform to push the feminist agenda. Jasmine, has always been a rebellious character, and has larger aspirations than being a Queen to a man's King however, it was mad made abundantly clear in this rendition. They pushed her agenda with as much subtly as an elephant tiptoeing. It took my back to '92 with all the CGI and flair and that's it's one redeeming quality. The film colorful, and I appreciate the cultural influences. Will Smith wasn't able to top Robin Williams' as the genie(but who could). It's great for the kids but, being that the original is my favorite Disney movie, I was unmoved aside from the truly nostalgic moments. The alterations made did not land home for me but might for others. It's a quality piece but with the summer season beginning and with such competition on the horizon, I question the staying power of this one!
