- So, wait a minute, am I really the only one who thinks that Robin Williams
- wasn't such a great choice for the part of the genie? Are the rest of you all
- really just assuming that he deserves an award? I know I mentioned this before
- but I really think Williams's modern day references and impersonations took away
- from the fantasy feel of this movie. And that he stold the spotlight from other
- charactors (i.e. Abu) rather than being a team player. Granted this can't be
- 100% his fault but I'm betting it's darn close to it.
