One flaw though it was a freaking big one!

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2019)

I seldom watch adaptation but this is the rare one that I've watched. To be frank, the trailers were giving out so much Bollywood vibes that I was very very sceptical but I can say I like it very much.
We can argue on whether Robin Williams or Will Smith is the better genie, personally I would say Robin but it was a freaking high bar and Robin Williams is Robin Williams, and that is nothing against Will Smith.
The biggest flaw of the movie was the scene of the most important part of the movie, A Whole New World. I didn't want to compare but the scene was very significant to my childhood and I can't un-remember the scene and I was surprised that they didn't put that much effort into that moment. It was supposed to be THE moment but it became the meh moment....
The CGI was good, the set up was good, the story telling was OK, the directing is questionable but still the movie touches a lot of good old memories. If only they put more effort into that moment.... But I still like it.
