Went to see it with wife.  I fell asleep about 15 minutes in.  Not making it up, either.

Will Smithwasn’t as bad as I imagined he would be.  2nd half of movie was better...

I'm wary of Will Smith and I know nobody can top Robin Williams, but has anyone seen this? Initial reviews are mixed. My kids really want to see it this holiday weekend but I've got a 8 6 and 4 year old. I've seen some parent reviews saying this one is for 8 yr olds and up. Even if it's tacky I'm more concerned if it's too scary for the little ones.

I am taking a 7 and 4 year old tomorrow, all the people I know who have watched it say it is fun for kids.

Wife informed me a few minutes ago there was a 615 and 715 showing tonight, since our kids want to go.

I suggested she could take them while I stayed at home.  The look she gave me was enough to know I should tread lightly.

I'm going to go to the theatre tonight.  Yay me.

Saw it today with the wife and kid. Both the wife and I walked out thinking it is better than we expected. Will Smith isn’t horrible, but he’s playing a role made iconic by a comedic genius. No one could come close to the original. My daughter (she’s six and likes the original) loved it; danced in her seat during a few of the songs. 

I would have used a wish on a threesome with Jasmine and her handmaiden.

Thought it was great. Didn’t mind the new song for Naomi Scott. Any excuse to have her on screen is a good one. She Definitely looks a lot darker here than in the Power Rangers reboot.

Pretty enjoyable and I had zero expectations. Will Smith didn't Will Smith it up and didn't try to imitate Robin Williams except in a couple of spots where it was kind of required by song.  Jasmine is sexy as fuck.

I went in ready to be disappointed and really enjoyed it. I thought Jasmine was hot but her new songs were annoying.

This is where I am too. Actually pretty decent, Will Smith did much better than I thought he would based on the previews.

Also agree that the #metoo movement had its fingerprints all over it. I guess it’s not necessarily a bad thing but it was a noticeable difference.

The dancing scenes were also enjoyable- the one where the genie possesses him and the one during the credits.
