  • Aladdin retells its classic source material's story with sufficient spectacle and skill, even if it never approaches the dazzling splendor of the animated original.

    Everything about Aladdin is big, and yet feels small at the same time. Its lavish production design and costuming also has the effect of looking more like a stage production than an epic movie.

    The original Aladdin had many flaws, but it was [...] full of heart. And, while Guy Ritchie's live action movie might be a better film in terms of special effects, dance routines and perhaps even structure, "heart" is exactly what it doesn't have.

    Guy Ritchie proves he’s a fantastic director, by delivering some beautiful one-take sequences, and exceptionally fun, well-choreographed musical numbers. Technically, the production and set design are astounding.
