What do you think? Many people will hate and love this.
First off, it's impossible to replace Robin Williams. He's iconic. He made the role. But when you have to find someone to fill the shoes.... it will never please the fans. Will Smith does his best, and it's ok. He puts a fresh spin on the role and performance of the Genie.
Some Disney fans united to brutally roast Will Smith and the movie.
One Twitter user said the clip looked like an Expedia travel commercial, while another wondered, “Where’s Daenerys when you need her?” You know, because she has a dragon and can burn down everything if she feels like it.
Others were more subtle in their insults. “Robin Williams was a better singer than we give him credit for,” said one person. True.
Another wrote, “Robin also didn’t have autotune.” Ouch.
