Best live one so far

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2019)

I've been hating the live action remakes. Couldn't even watch beauty and the beast thanks to the pretentious lead. Dumbo was dreadful propaganda and nothing else at all. Lion king, I'm dreading it...
This film? Well, I guess you need to like Will Smith for a start, but thankfully I do. The Great and wonderful Robin Williams can never be replaced, so thankfully Will didn't try, he just did his own thing and did it well. I'd agree that at times his acting seemed awful, really awful. But I think we can put that down to CGI. He did look as out of place in some parts as Carrie Fisher does in the latest Star Wars movies.
Overall, watching it with my 4 year old, who, in all honesty is more the target audience than most people complaining about the movie, we loved it. It held her interest more than any other live action, and I wasn't grabbing for my phone out of boredom. So win win.
Well done Disney, you can still make them good.
