[@juliadipaolo6665]

I've heard from a friend that it was amazing, and from another that it was not worth it. I'm haven't seen it yet, but should I?

[@josephmiguez3227]

Loved it. Sometimes remakes can still be good on their own no comparison needed

[@melaniemunoz8]

During the whole movie I was smiling! It was a great experience for me to see it in the theaters and I'm sure my parents felt the same when they watched it. I personally love it better than the original but that's just my own opinion

[@mybirdiswierd5307]

@@juliadipaolo6665 I saw it the other day, and it's totally worth it! The singing is amazing and the humor is subtle but refreshing. I also love how it sticks with the original movie.

[@snperera5]

[@ayerimvillegas4738]

[@RobinLillig1997]

[@emiliecrtn9464]

@@cabbage8623 I personally do not think it's a good idea. Let me explain: 1. When we watch the original movie and they say some stuff that doesn't make a lot of sense, most of the time, people do not care. It's actually so much of a detail, people who have noticed that probably paused the movie at the right time or were focused on the details at this point. But that's all. It's not a big deal. 2. From "ten years" to "too long" we are passing from an objective relation to time to a subjective one. I think in a movie where time is important, I would be good to have some marks. Plus in a tale the space-time is supposed to be abstract and having a concrete time-line in it would help not being confused. 3. The plotholes are a way for people to theorize, to magnify the story, making more magic or darker. The theories are also little investigations but in a more creative way. Plotholes says "no matter how pro we are, we made some mistakes, and now that we've shared the story with you and that the story is yours, you can make a story out of this mistake"

[@NahlaAnwer]

Yes, the ending was still Aladdin's iddea, I just rewatched it in the theater and clearly heard Genie say 'What are you doing?!" and saw him smirk when he started to understand

[@allisonwendt8461]

Yeah, I interpreted it as Aladdin's plan as well. I thought Genie's cuff tap may have been referencing Aladdins last wish, that if Aladdin freed him he would not be able to grant Jafar's last wish.

[@mariosblago94]

@@allisonwendt8461 That's exactly what I interpreted. I thought what the genie was suggesting is to be freed to limit Jafar's power.

Gailyn Lee the way i saw it was that he pointed to his cuffs to say "i cant do anything i have no power, you have to solve this power on your own"

[@AD-nv7nw]

Gailyn Lee yeah exactly in the movie he mouths to aladdin "what are you doing" but as aladdin is talking genie slowly picks up on the plan aladdin comes up with

[@wildheartrazorfang6]

I think the genie motioning to his cuffs was apologizing for the fact he had to serve Jafar. Then when Aladdin saw the cuffs, he got the idea. Genie didn't realize for a second, until Jafar got behind the idea.

[@sabah1330]

I agree. The genie was confused at first and you could see his expression change when he realized what Aladdin was doing.

[@mindoveraaron]

That's exactly how interpreted it

[@bestwholeworld5276]

I saw the movie twice. I can see how it looks like it was genies idea when he motions to his cuffs but then he is so confused when Aladdin tries to trick Jafar that you can tell it wasn’t Genies idea, it was all Aladdin.

[@alfredgomez3128]

That would be bad telegraphing. Like the Last Airbender with the rockbending scene

[@xwinwinwinx]

I agree. I interpreted it as Aladdin looked to genie for help, genie motioned to his cuffs indicating he couldn't help as he had to serve Jafar. Aladdin saw the cuffs and got the idea. Further evidence to support the fact that turning Jafar into a genie was Aladdin's idea is that genie is confused and telling Aladdin 'no' and 'what are you doing'. Then Jafar makes the wish and genie realizes and makes the comment that Jafar's phrazing left a lot of grey area for him to exploit.

[@malmaller2375]

I LOVE that they gave Genie a love interest. I think it made his desire to be human more personal, and added another emotional element to his character arc.

[@seandalo]

I know! Lol. Dalia is my favorite character.

[@streetfighteringrid2446]

Hello watch the cartoon Genie haves a girlfriend her name is Eden.

[@dylanthomas1274]

[@sangitabane1395]

Yeah but she recorded too

[@prinitykat]

The thing is though, that’s minorly concerning, not that she didn’t do an amazing job. But I’ve been in musical theatre training for years and what I’ll say is one has to take careful care of your voice. Based on filming usually taking 12 hour days I’m hesitant to say it’s good to push ones voice so much. I just hope for her health they didn’t push her too hard as that can cause immense vocal issues later on :/ again, it looks amazing! Just hope she didn’t walk away from it with vocal damage

[@GourSmith]

I think Genie gestured to his chains to tell Aladdin he couldn't help him, then Aladdin gets the idea to trick Jafar.

I kinda liked it, because it was like it was the both of them working together to take Jafar down.

Did you know that the dance he did was just only completely coreagrphed (no clue how to spell that) in the small amount leading up to the backflip and the part where everyone was dancing together, but a lot of it was just him and will being told how will needed to move his hand. Mena is crazy talented.

[@cuintherok]

About the treasure in the cave...the cave mouth did say "Take nothing but the lamp" in this version. In the original, he said, "Touch nothing". That closed the loophole that allowed movement until Abu's greed took over.

ester ferreira well not every movie is perfect. In fact, this is related to real life. Many people say things which can mean another thing, but dont say the other thing.

[@FoxyGuyHere]

@@Esterferreiradecastro Cave is magical. Of course it knows.

[@Ramb0Dust]

I see a wonderful symbolic meaning also in the scene where Jafar picpockets Aladdin! Think it this way: Jafar uses almost similar tactics to steal the lamp from Aladdin, Aladdin himself has been using for many years as a street thief, but in the beginning of the movie we see two women trying to steal something from Aladdin and of course he easily spots it! "Woah hold on ladies, I think thats mine" Not a clever idea to steal from a thief huh? So, why in the beginning Aladdin cleverly spots a theft, but misses when Jafar steals the lamp? this scene happens immediately after the clash with genie. "I kind of am a prince a now" and he continues to tell genie that he cant wish him free and that he needs to keep on the prince facade. Jafar succeeds stealing the lamp exactly for a reason which Aladdin practically says himself loud and clear! "I am prince Ali now, Aladdin is gone" in that second, he is not a street thief anymore, he is Prince Ali. And prince Ali doesnt know when he's being pickpocketed. Aladdin does. brilliant

[@TheSilvergriffyn]

Now this is the quality in depth symbology I have been searching for.

[@nikamsnehal15]

EagleEarth Jafar was a pickpocket once like Aladdin. He tells Aladdin before taking him to the cave. He demonstrates by easily stealing Jasmine’s hair clip from Aladdin and returning it. Jafar is as skilled a pickpocket as Aladdin. Even before Aladdin got the lamp, Jafar demonstrates this

[@Kranon]

I CAN SHOW YOU THE WORLD! EXCEPT THE UNITED STATES.... {[NOT ALLOWDDIN]}

[@alexinitalics188]

@@nikamsnehal15 Yeah I had noticed that Jafar easily sneaks away that hair clip and wondered how Aladdin missed it but then again, the monkey manages to sneak away the lamp from Jafar (twice I think) without him noticing. However, come to think of it, the times we see these master pickpockets have something stolen from them are times they are being promised power or are being distracted by power. Jafar takes the hair clip from Aladdin's pocket whilst promising riches. Jafar takes Aladdin's lamp when Aladdin had just been adamant that he was now prince Ali, not Aladdin. When Jafar loses the lamp, it's often not long after he's got it and feels like he finally has the power over the genie.

[@nikamsnehal15]

Lexa The Snake they kind of draw parallels between Aladdin and Jafar. Both had the same beginnings. Both had the lamp during some part of the movie. But what they finally choose defines them. I think there is a line in arabian nights song, “there is a road that may lead you to good or to greed..”

[@matildahull6300]

Jafar says “don’t take any treasure” not “touch” so technically Aladdin is not brewing the rule but Abu does

[@rojodiaz]

Agreed! For two people who seem to pay attention and be very picky about stuff in this movie, it is very weird how they "intentionally" miss this fix of a plot hole. I feel they are very biased!

[@danwithnoplan2584]

My points: 1: Mena as Aladdin was gold. He totally pulled off the cleverness and cheekiness of the character, and his dancing during the party when Genie was controlling him was sooo cool 2: One Jump Ahead. By far my favorite song in the movie. I loved the new lines and I loved the choreography for it 3: I'm really upset about Iago. He was my second favorite character in the 1992 version, but now he's just a plain ol' parrot, and he had no sass. made me super upset 4: there are two groups of people. one is 'people who hate will smith as the genie' and the other is 'people who love will smith as the genie'. i am apart of the second group 5: the chains thing near the end. i think Genie saw Aladdin looking at him, and Genie was like "bruh i can't help you, man" which is why he gestured to his chains. but then Aladdin kept talking, and Genie was like "ohhhh i get you" 6: this is just a small comment i had. when jafar sent aladdin to the arctic or whatever, mena's acting in that moment made me think 'shoot this guy is gonna die' just because of that look of pain on his face

[@esterrasmussen3399]

It’s not Mena dancing, but still really good

[@raspberryjam3724]

I have two things to say(not arguing or tryna start something) 1st there's actually three groups of people 1)people who hate Smith's genie 2) people who love Smith's genie and 3) people who, like me, are in the middle, like Smith but also don't like that he's not Williams. 2nd I didn't like that Iago was a plain old parrot either, but think about it. It would probably be worse if they tried to make him more like the original. I'm glad they made him more realistic, although I do prefer the animated version of him.

[@angelenapulis9083]

@@raspberryjam3724 I appreciated that they made Iago more realistic. I mean, parrots (or macaws) already can talk. They repeat phrases and carry on conversations just the way the live-action Iago did. In an animated film, we can suspend our disbelief with talking animals a lot more than with live-action. And if Iago could talk in the remake, then why not Abu? Why not the horses or camels? It just makes more sense to have Iago be a regular parrot with an evil owner that teaches him to say and do nasty things.

Especially jasmine wanting to be sultan. That makes so much sense, it should have been in the original. Why shouldn’t she be? Why should a foreign prince become sultan? She’s the first born daughter, she should rule after her father. And it added a lot to her fiery nature. I heard a lot of people complaining about that aspect, bringing up “feminism” or whatever. But it didn’t come off as injecting politics for no reason, like so many movies have been doing in recent years. It made a lot of sense and it added to the story.

[@alexsherry1238]

He knew he would be getting backlash and hate for this because Robin was so good. I am NOT saying that Will Smith was bad. I think he was amazing, this comment is not meant to hate on Will. I loved Will Smith in this movie, and in any movie. All I'm trying to say is that Will knows he can't be Robin, so he made his part as genie his own. Robin would be very proud of Will Smith. I can't think of anyone who would play the genie better than Will Smith. Also, I LOVED the movie!! 10/10!! I highly recommend seeing it, totally worth it!!

To me, it felt like anything close to Robin was more homage...even the Bros. critique about his restraint in Arabian Nights--Robin would have *literally* been climbing the walls, so I can see Will deliberately going more chill.

Absolutley. I love, and will always love, Robin, but Will was terrific. (I can't even imagine how intimidating it must have been to tackle the shoe-filling.)

But I still feel like Disney or a director told Will no do it more like Robin Williams in certain scenes, instead of allowing him 100% control. I mean Robin said the script lines and than would adlib like crazy and the animators drew around him. I feel like had the done the same for Will it would have been more authentic to the character and great remembrance to Robin

I think with the Genie "Breaking the Rules" he isn't actually breaking any rules, he's playing into that gray area that keeps coming up, like when he saves Aladdin from drowning. He even states that he's working in a gray area when he forges Aladdin's signature on the contract to use a wish to save Aladdin's life. Genie still used a wish, he just assumed that it's what Aladdin would have wished for if he could, and he was correct. I think because Genie cares so much about Aladdin, and his panic over Aladdin almost dying, he mistakenly states he broke a rule for him, which he did not do.

[@katelynm1]

The same thing happened in the animated version. The Genie couldn't save Aladdin unless he made a wish to be saved, but deep down both versions of the genie wanted to save Aladdin because he cared about him even if he did had to use a wish

[@rhondahoward8025]

Basically, it reminded me of the "Good Samaritan" law. That if a person is unconscious and injured, you can safely assume they _probably_ want to be saved. So yeah, if a person drowns, goes unconscious and stops breathing, you get permission to perform CPR on them out of _good will._

[@alexinitalics188]

I have to point out that you said the genie forged Aladdin's signature. Thinking back to that moment, after coming out of the cinema, I realised he actually only makes Aladdin write an X. At least in the 17th century and around that area, I know that people who were illiterate (And at the time there would have been a lot) they would just write an X. And I suddenly realised, something I'd strangely never thought about prior to that moment, Aladdin would not know how to read or write.

[@realralvideo]

undead890 I think that’s why it bugged him that genie said explicitly “I’m breaking the rules for you.” If he hadn’t said that then you assume it’s because he’s working in the grey area.

[@mcals]

It was more about breaking his personal rule of never befriending a master, I think, because that held so much meaning to the Genie. He would always have a new master, but he had never made a real friend in one. His personal rule was important to him as it had helped him avoid any betrayal or sadness, and Aladdin caused that to some degree because Genie had broken his rule and allowed Aladdin to make a lasting impact on him.

[@taylarball8285]

[@JeremyWS]

I really liked this movie. It was a good movie. I do have one critique: The second wish where The Genie saves Aladdin's life made more sense in this one. In the original one, it felt like the second wish was stolen from Aladdin and that the Genie still owed him a second wish, but in this one it actually made sense why it cost him a wish to save his life. [Aladdin Return of Jafar and Aladdin the Animated Series makes up for the owed second wish in the original movie.] In the remake you didn't need anything else, because it all made sense. So I am glad they explained that part better this time. I still think that there should be a Genie rule that states that the Genie has to protect the life of the master and can't allow the master to die before all three wishes are completed. That's just my personal opinion. This was an awesome movie. I really liked it. Jasmine was awesome, Aladdin was good, and Will Smith was Will Smith. I don't like that the Sultan was just kind of there. This movie was very enjoyable.

For a 16 year old princess who has never been outside her Palace before it made sense and wasn't a lesser arc. Also she was not the main character. Its called Aladdin for a reason. I feel that the remake shoved Aladdin in the back and made Jasmine the main character. I did not appreciate that. She was I dependant, strong willed and fierce in the original.

Ben, from my experience the reason why people "cut off" words in songs and don't let them ring out, is because they want it to sound more spontaneous and like they're speaking the words instead of singing them. It can also be a great way to gloss over the fact that person might not really be able to hit that specific note. Loved the movie and I'm seriously excited to see what future Live remakes will bring!

I FINALLY managed to get myself together and then they sang "A Whole New World". OH NO. My boyfriend and I ended up just laughing at how much I was crying. I thought it was very nostalgic but just didn't hit the same notes as the original although I did think Will Smith handled playing the Genie very well and in his own style.

[@busismedley1772]

I loved it, but I do agree the original will always be better, but this movie was nothing short of amazing, I also cried in the theatre with nostalgic happy tears😂😂

[@Classyburd]

Glad to hear I’m not alone 😂

[@sunnygirl523]

I was crying when genie was free and when the sultan told Jasmine she should be sultan and also during a whole new world 😭😭😭

I can't wait to see it but I've heard some reviews saying it wasn't good. Hopefully this will convince me.

Trust me it was a great movie! I think I even liked it better than the original.

[@josephlewis4164]

I really enjoyed it! Don't compare, just enjoy!

It was awesome! TRUST ME : )

Trust me, it’s amazing!! I enjoy more than the original, but go in not wanting to compare it and you’ll have such a better time!

@Adam Godfrey I skipped around to avoid spoilers I just wanted to see what they thought. It was refreshing to hear their perspective.

If only Robin Williams could see this movie. RIP Robin Williams

27:11 I think it's because Jafar didn't know that he sent the carpet. If he zapped him back, Jafar would realise he's helping another person.

[@netashtein7165]

Did you notice that the word slaves that was in the original prince Ali was replaced? Instead of " he's got slaves, he's got servants and flunkies" it's "he's got 10000 servants and flunkies"

[@propogandalf]

@MarshmallowMan74 If you opened your mind outside your own cultural view you'd know that Friday is the holy day for muslims and so they made the lyric more accurate because Sunday salaam is meaningless

[@propogandalf]

@MarshmallowMan74 You're welcome. And sorry, it sounded like you were being negative in your outrage about the lyric so I responded with some negativity. I appreciated your reply though.

[@kavyb1730]

I think it’s pretty important not to offend anyone. That does the opposite of what a movie is supposed to do. That puts people down when a movie is supposed to be enjoyed

[@guss1470]

Aladdin was not bad, funny moments but I have to say, the animated version was WAY better. This version just seemed rush.

[@clemmyclem7974]

no

[@ericamaher2319]

The only complaint I have is that Iago didn't get his own sultan hat when Jafar became the sultan like in the animated one

[@flowerdraws8952]

I loved all the remakes! Mostly Aladdin because of everything! I did silent clapping when 'Friend Like Me' and 'Prince Ali' plays cuz I'm inside the cinema. I also love all the new changes! Ya'll can't change my mind! :D

I loved the movie but WHERE WAS JAFAR’s PRINCE ALI???? I would give it an 7/10 but it would be a solid 9/10 if Prince Ali reprise was in it

[@candycemonroe7345]

I missed that song too.

[@haleynewton3908]

I LOVED seeing elements of Bollywood influence the dancing/party scenes. ❤

[@thisismysea]

I've heard people complaining about that because Bollywood is from India and this movie is set in a different part of the world. I can't speak to it myself, but mixing cultures as if they're interchangeable isn't great.

[@haleynewton3908]

@@thisismysea I agree that mixing cultures isnt great, but Agrabah is a completely fictional city. The only hint of the location we get is with the song "Arabian nights", which leads us to believe that it's part of the middle east (presumably Iran/Saudi Arabia). Historically speaking, India and parts of the Middle East were once part of the Persian Empire; not to mention they naturally fall into trade paths. It really isn't that far fetched that the two cultures would collide in such a way, plus both cultures share some similarities.

[@mayw2140]

@@haleynewton3908 I see some of your points, but arabian nights isnt the only indication that its a middle eastern story. It is directly based off of Arab folklore, hence the arab names (Jafar, Aladdin, Jasmine). The fact the entire movie felt like a scene from bollywood totally shoved the fact it has arab influence under the rug.

[@haleynewton3908]

@@mayw2140 I know that the lovie itself is based off of Arab folklore. In all actuality, the story of Aladdin wasn't even included in the original 1001 Nights story and comes from a folktale based along Middle Eastern and Western Indian trade routes. In regards to the actual animated movie, we get very little hints of where the story is set, other than Arabian Nights and the character names. The palace is also heavily inspired by the Taj Mahal. I agree that there was a lot of culture overlooked & erased and that really isnt cool to do. But at the same time, on a historical front, Indian culture would have influenced Arabian culture (and vice versa). Which is why I particularly enjoyed seeing the Bollywood influence in the dancing scenes.

[@haleynewton3908]

On a completely face value, the movie was great and enjoyable and flashy and everything I expected it to be.

[@meganhunter2708]

I personally disagree with Arabian night. I loved and can almost say it was one of my three favorites
