A trip down memory lane done well

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2019)

As someone that was born in the 90's growing up with Disney films, I didn't really go into this movie expecting much. The CGI Will Smith in the trailers looked goofy and the casting overall seemed odd. After watching the film with those predispositions I was blown away by how captivating it turned out to be. Will Smith did a fantastic job portraying the genie and did not soil the role whatsoever. The story was almost completely spot on to the original but still had its own quirky twists. Without spoiling the movie and as someone that went in with little expectations, I would say it was a really entertaining film.
