Flawed - not as good as the Broadway show

Rating: 5/10 (15 July 2019)

There are many disappointing things about this movie. The tone is too sombre like a serious action movie with a message of female equality instead of comic musical. The songs aren't nicely handled. The melodies are lost in the distracting sounds and things going on. The lead actor isn't charming or cheeky enough. Too serious looking. The lead actress is ok but her voice isn't great. In fact both their voices aren't great. The sets are overcrowded, less is more sometimes. Will Smith is wrong should have been a jolly fat older guy.
