Metacritic
Smith is the lifeboat leading us to a more pleasurable film, one where it doesnβt so much matter that the sets look cheap, to say nothing of the CGI keeping Smithβs head plastered on a floating blue body.
Yet Ritchie has made significant alterations. First, he has modified the law of sultanic succession by giving women the right to rule. Second, by some cunning spell, he has taken all the fun from the earlier Disney film and β abracadabra! β made it disappear. The big musical numbers strain for pizzazz. The action sequences are a confounding rush.
The loss of two-dimensional artistry of the original has some compensation of human warmth.
