Aladdin

Gorgeous sets and animation along with a great cast (with the exception of Jafar, although I do love Marwan Kenzari in "The Angel"). I really do believe, especially in the case of Aladdin, that if Disney diverted more from the animated originals and drew more from the original source material to create darker, more mature, and more nuanced takes on their classic films, it would make for much more compelling stories and a much more compelling reason to justify these remakes' existence.

this film is hollow in every sense of the word. even without comparing to the original, it still ultimately fails as a film. an embarrassment to Disney in general. i don’t know why we even bother anymore

pretty annoying movie but it is better than the original

85/100. This live action adaptation of the classic cartoon is one of the best live action Disney movies to date. Will Smith not only did the Genie role justice but he knocked the performance out of the park. Naomi Scott and Mena Messoud played both of their characters very well. All of the musical numbers were done to perfection, as well as the new songs included in the film. The animation looked great, even making a big blue Genie look like he belongs in our world. The only major gripe I have with this movie is the actor who played Jafar was nowhere near as harsh and menacing as the character was in the original. All in all, even if you do not like live action remakes and are worried they will ruin your favorite film, you do not need to worry with this version of the film. In fact, I may even like this live action adaptation better than the original.

It's pretty good but not the greatest.

Just a hollow repeat of the original animated movie

Not as good as people think. They need to stop trying to fix what isn’t broken.

It is a shame the critics overthink this. No one should be compared to Robin Williams and Will Smith did the role justice. It is a solid family film telling an ageless story. Sure, it is cliche and tacky and uses a lot of stereotypes and I loved it for all of those reasons.

Rubbish.. I expected atleast Will Smith to shine but alas he didn't . Jafar is the terribly cast, like a meek little weasel . The numbers are pretty average and fall very flat.

souless, pointless, only a sad feling at the end
