Loved it.

Rating: 9/10 (29 October 2019)

Watched the original a few years ago for the first time (was never allowed to watch Disney as a child so I've been watching all movies as an adult). I really enjoyed the original Aladdin, and while I'm usually not that into remakes, for some reason I was looking forward to this one. I watched it in the cinema and was not disappointed. Every scene looks amazing, with of course a great performance by Will Smith. It's just one big colourful musical which stays true to the idea behind the original, but gives a good twist which fits in the time it was made.
The only thing that could have been better is the casting of Jafar, he wasn't very convincing. Great work on the snake-staff effect though, very subtle. I know people have different opinions, but I know that I'm going to watch this version many more times in the future!
