I "wish" this movie was never made

Rating: 1/10 (2 June 2019)

Easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. I wish I could say I only feel this way because it sodomizes one of my favorites, but it genuinely has so many elements that make it a terrible movie regardless of the source material.
Will Smith's singing sounds exactly like someone who's just there for the paycheck. Jasmine's character gets the full Hollywood treatment- songs are fabricated/forced and her arc is altered and streamlined to suit the modern feminist agenda. Aladdin is played about as boring as you can imagine. Jafar is no longer an intimidating, memorable movie villain but instead a whiny moron with absolutely cringe-y dialogue....and they couldn't even give him a legit beard!!
The movie is absolutely devoid of any humor; there are scenes that try so hard to make you laugh but instead made everyone in the theater groan out of discomfort.
There is no chemistry between any of the characters/actors (and honestly I think that was the single biggest issue with the whole thing). Whether it's Will Smith acting like he's got about 1,000 better things to do than be in the movie, or Sultan looking lobotomized the whole time, or Jasmine/Aladdin's weak scenes together that are devoid of passion, everything feels completely mailed-in. How would you ever feel or relate to a scene of friends having a fall out if you never believe they're friends in the first place?
"Oh well, maybe at least the old songs will give some nostalgia, at least," I think to myself. Nope, they make completely unnecessary lyric changes and nothing "feels" right for the entire movie.
The rotten cherry on this crap sundae? Roll credits..."DJ Khalid!!!" Yup, we're done here.
