Aladdin

It's fine... A very straightforward, big spectacle musical.

It's bizarre in a way that's sometimes funny-bad and sometimes just bad-bad.

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.

Massoud's parkour-practising Aladdin and Naomi Scott's glass-ceiling-smashing Princess Jasmine aren't really allowed space to develop readings of the roles when Smith is due to pop out of a lamp at any moment to murder a song or flog a comedy routine

Disney's remake of Aladdin features human actors and digital creatures, but don't call it "live-action." Maladroit and overlong, its resting state is moribund.

Aladdin wasn't perfect, but nothing will ever live up to the classic '92 version. Still, if you have a kiddo, or if you're still a big kid at heart, we certainly recommend it.

Although some plot points are added or changed up, the core of the story remains the same, offering them to a new audience in a film that feels like a modern interpretation rather than a pointless fix-up.

There’s a unique sense of visual speed Ritchie has a fantastic hold on, and while this is the least Guy Ritchie movie in his filmography, a lot of his signature beats are still alive and well, and they’re perfect for this particular remake.

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.
