I actually enjoyed for what it is. I mean it's not like the animated movie was the most fantastic thing to ever hit cinemas. There have been far better animated movies over the years from various companies. I mean really, it's a about an arrogant homeless man who just happens to find a suga momma in the end and strikes it rich. What exactly is so deep about that? To top of it off, you can't honestly say Aladdin is a hero can you? I mean he agreed to free his magical slave only if he helped him get lucky.
But I think the hate leveled towards Will's performance is just being too harsh. We get it, No one will ever be Robin Williams and one was ever trying to be. There is no rule in the universe that says only one actor is allowed to play the part. Let's just be honest, it wouldn't matter who was picked to play genie. It could be anybody and still be picked apart simply because they cannot be Robin Williams. I feel people think that anybody playing the role of genie thinks it's a personal insult.
The film wasn't that terrible and I've seen worse.
