Disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (26 May 2019)

If you're going into this thinking they did a shot for shot reproduction like they did with "Beauty and the Beast" you'll be disappointed. Fans of Robin Williams' version of Genie will be even more disappointed as Will Smith went completely away from honoring Williams' portrayal of Genie. Music was arranged differently from the originals, words modified to be politically correct, and they really pushed an agenda with the addition of a new song and changes to the storyline. Was only pleased with 2 scenes that somewhat kept with the original movie. Final thoughts: If Disney continues to "remake" the original cartoons, it would be better to stick with the original scripts and song arrangements and stay away from modifying the story.
