Wish Dragon (2021)
7/10
Unlike the Aladin remake, I COULD wish for more

Chic and appealing adventure that makes one think of Aladin more than once but does have a very different story to tell.

The depiction of Asian technocracy living right next door to the ghetto is very immersive and the visual humor is well polished.

To be honest, I liked these characters best as kids; Dong is still OK but the other one just seems to have lost her personality in puberty. The plot is somewhat confusing because he appears to squander his wishes and is way too suggestable to the dragon.

He's the best character and he's fun to watch.

The most impressive aspect of this movie is that they were able to create a villain that was formidable and yet still no less comedic for it.
