I just got back from seeing it with my 8 and 5 year old. As awful as this COULD have been, I think it was great. My kids loved it and I loved seeing this story told in a different way. Jafar definitely left room for improvement though.

[@alanquartey5539]

Jesse Wilson yep And I loved how colorful the movie was

[@luiscarlosarenas9370]

I Feel Ritchie wanted to give him a different approach. He didn't want Jafar to be this arrogant paranormal evil mastermind, and tried to picture him as an ambitious evil mirror of Aladdin. While it made him more human, it also made him less menacing. While I do prefer original Jafar I do like and appreciate the new point of view they gave him.

[@sam.e.a6422]

Tbh chris, the original Aladdin was mostly memorable because of the original genie as well

[@antiseth3964]

That's a good point, but the other characters in the animated film weren't walking planks of wood either. The animation, voice acting, and musical numbers gave them the freedom to create very emotive characters and memorable moments that stood apart from the Genie. I'll be honest, I haven't seen this new one yet and probably will not. I lump Guy Ritchie in with Baz Luhrmann (and almost Tim Burton nowadays too) as directors who specialize in overstylized gaudy films with little true substance. I'm really hoping that the live-action Mulan has a little more character to it, but overall there is little more to my perception of Disney making these live action films than cash grabs and reclaiming of intellectual property.

Fear and intimidation really helped a lot in making Will Smith deliver the best performance as the Genie, but he can't replace Robin Williams as Genie.

Why have Guy Ritchie direct this? Aladdin has always been more of a musical than an action-comedy.

[@chiyaan83]

Mr bebop in my opinion maybe baz luhrmann would have been a better director compared to guy Ritchie, would have given us a better Aladdin movie.

Rob Marshall (Chicago) would have been other good choice. Although he might have not been Happy with Disney after Pirates 4,not sure... OH I KNOW A Damien Chazelle Aladdin. How could it would be that?

[@erinlee5936]

Disney wanted an action-comedy element to the film. That's probably why Guy was hired to direct this. His past films were more about street gangs and heists, which supposedly Aladdin was (a street rat). I guess Disney got what they wanted but in their own way?

[@cannibalbunnygirl]

I agree! That Blockbuster shirt is really cool! Nice way to pay homage to a classic video rental store since it's basically just a relic of the '90s now. Really cool seeing it featured in the Captain Marvel movie when her ship crashes into it. That was funny! I never rented movies or videogames from there. I usually went to either The Wherehouse or Hollywood Video but I saw lots of Blockbuster commercials growing up and there were some Blockbuster stores near my house too when I was a kid during that era in time. I think with services like Hulu and Netflix renting movies from an actual store building will be a thing of the past now which is kind of sad because ordering pizza and then going to the video rental store to rent the latest releases or Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64 video games were such cool experiences from my childhood that I really miss. =)

[@desertsand8778]

I disagree with your criticism. I liked this interpretation of Aladdin. Having it being gritty and realistic was most likely not the goal of this story but to capture some of its original essence from the 1992 and translate it to a live action in 2019. For what it was trying to achieve, I believe it succeeded.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but as a movie critic, you should consider the genre. It’s a children’s movie mixed with broadway musical. Compared to Indiana Jones or Les Miserables, the props are ridiculous, yes? Watch it next to Hairspray or Chicago and it won’t seem so flashy. The focus was the ethics in the story. The Aladdin in this was charming and generous many would agree. Jafar could’ve been a bigger threat but his character is a “tool.” Long story short, it was amazing for what it was and the modern genre it depicted.
