I will keep this review reasonably short. Exotic visuals but the story line is dragged out over the course of the movie, and never really gets "going".

I couldn't get past the almost complete lack of reaction from Tilde's character when the "genie" first appears as a gigantic black man in her hotel room, and she just stands there as if it's a normal day to day occurrence.

Most of us in that situation would back away or run screaming from the room, but - nothin, nada, no reaction. I couldn't get past this absurdity and could only assume that the director just wanted to go home early.

There are many disappointed comments here on IMDB, but somehow this movie is given high scores - why is that ?

Just watched this sorry excuse for a movie, and can only think the actors only did this for the paycheck, and not for the script. Did they even bother to read it?

It seems that Disney has completely lost the plot, and are employing anybody to write/direct/produce a movie that will appease the "Woke" minority at the expense of the genuine Marvel fans. This is a total piece of excrement that is neither funny or exciting and is just plain stupid. I thought that they couldn't stoop even lower than "Eternals" but wow - This is even worse !!

I honestly did not know about the connection to the cult classic "Blazing Saddles" before I watched this movie, but almost immediately recognised the similarities, and then started looking for the jokes that I knew were coming. I was not disappointed.

It is nice to see a "remake" of a film that set the bar a long time ago but couldn't be made today because it would "offend" the idiot minorities that can't take a joke. Remember that the original was hilariously funny without spouting profanities in every other sentence, rare in today's so called "Comedies".

I enjoyed the movie and would be happy for my grandchildren to see it, and then let them watch the original.
