Fantastic real action remake

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2020)

What is up with the reviews here and some of them leaving a negative reviews based on the trailer shame on you for coming all the way to dismiss this film without watching it. The rest must've watched something else as I walked out being absolutely mesmerised by the colours, the songs and the acting. It was a great time without being a rip off to the original. Will Smith, Naomi and Mena were all great especially Smith as the genie. I grew up with the original and this one brought a smile to my face all the way through. There was action, humour and magic throughout and there was absolutely no dull moment. The haters are being too fussy and way too nostalgic. Remember this is a live action it's supposed to have 'real feel' what did anyone expect? This couldn't have been made better. And finally Jaffar was menacing acting like a psycho rather than a total copy of the original. Even if they brought someone who looked remotely close to the animation people would still complain. Put a sock on it. Watch in HD and you'll see how enjoyable this experience was.
