Not perfect but certainly enjoyable

Rating: 9/10 (4 September 2019)

It was not at all an imitation of the prior animated version, it was more based on the original tale.
I found Will Smith's Genie as good as Robbin Williams if not better. Not to mention Marwan Kenzari's performance as Jaafar which was not less than absolutely sensational, he seemed evil to the core and more frightening than the animated Jaafar.
