Just saw it

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2019)

My wife and I just took our boys to see the movie. Before going, I read the numerous reviews, even though it took me to my younger years and I still wanted to see it. The first piece of advice I can give anyone reading is this. You have to separate Will Smith from Robin Williams before you try to compare the two. Much love to Will Smith beforehand for acknowledging the shoes Robin Williams left to fill. Sadly, if you compare the two, you will be slightly disappointed. Nothing will ever be as good as the original in this case; however, I think Will Smith successfully pulled it off. The songs took me back to my childhood, even though they were given a modern tempo. Comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges! This version definitely came through for me though and didn't disappoint the least bit.
