Soulless remake - couldn't finish it

Rating: 5/10 (27 May 2019)

The film was serviceable until Will Smith as the genie came on screen.
For me something just didn't seem right about him in this role, it was not funny and painfully forced.
This film shows its directed by Guy Ritche, but there's nothing in this film that shows this, and just like the Star Wars series Disney producers just seem to hire these talented directors and have them churn out these tired by the books remakes.
I only went to see this as I have a cinema subscription, please do not go out and pay to see this because of nostalgia, Rocketman is also out which is a far superior musical biopic.
