I was ready to walk out in the first 10-15 minutes. I thought they had ruined it and I would be better not to stay and watch the rest. I am glad i did stay, the film got better and better.
Will Smith did an amazing job with the character of the genie, and my favourite part by far was the prince Ali song. The rest of the film was very similar to the original animation, the main difference being Jasmine. This version seemed to focus a lot on Jasmine's political standing, more than the original. I think this has developed the story further than it was, in a positive way.

@What We Do In The Shadows (2014) is probably my favorite Taika Waititi film out of all of his films. Though, I wasn't sure how I felt about a series taking place in the US was going to pan out.
I'm glad I finally watched it. Each episode was fairly self-contained. The characters were likeable, and it kept the same feel from the original. My favorite ep had to be the one where they had actors from other vampire films on the vampire council. I loved that Tilda got some recognition as the vamp from Only Lovers Left Alive (underrated film). It was good to see the original vamps from the film too.

I can't wait for season 2!

Movie Rating
2008 re-make/re-imagining of the 1951 original, with Keanu Reeves - who I felt would be perfect for this role - playing the alien Kla'atu.

Unfortunately, the majority of the film is slow and plodding, with no real connection between Reeves and Jennifer Connelly, with a (very young) Jaden Smith playing a kid who just deserves a good slapping, and with the anti-war stance of the original replaced with an environmental message instead (that's neither good nor bad, just an observation).

One that I may watch on TV if nothing else on, but not one I would be going out of my way to look for or even make time to sit down and view.
