Disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (2 June 2019)

The movie was uploaded onto a pirate site, so I watched it. I was disappointed because it's already been done. What is the point of taking an old tale and making a movie that is almost scene for scene and word for word like the cartoon, including the songs? It completely lacked originality and I got bored watching it and fast forwarded it to the end.
The only positive decisions they made was to actually use actors of eastern ethnicity and that was a highlight for their talents, and they gave the genie a better ending. The capuchin monkey was sweet as well.
Now the original story was far more exciting and adventurous; I remember reading it in an old old book when I was a child. If they're going to use humans to tell the tale - do it properly by respecting the culture and the history of their story telling. Stop disneyfying everything; it's getting old. Stop americanizing everything and get back to some really good story telling.
