Same, But New, But Still Average

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2019)

The title says it all. This new installment of live-action films being pumped out by Disney is just as expected, a virtual copy and paste of the original film with a few minor changes. Some of the changes are good, while others take away from the overall flow of the story. The nucleus of the casting was knocked out of the park as Will Smith's genie was not only admirable but unexpectedly funny. In my opinion, the film is just like the original in the sense that it's average at best and the best character is Abu. Good family flick, 7/10 on a good day.
