Exceeded my expectations!

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2019)

I have to be honest and admit that I went in with rather low expectations for this movie.
It's a retelling of a well beloved story, and live-action movies dont always give the source material its due. And fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised! The story is what you would expect, except for some changes to empower Jasmine's character and a few secondary side stories. The music, the acting, the cinematography, the side effects... everything was on point!
I have to also praise Will Smith for giving us a new spin on the genie character instead of trying to recreate the beloved Robin Williams' interpretation.
