Aladdin

Rating: 7/10 (7 June 2019)

A faithful remake of a childhood classic that could easily be seen as cannon just like all the other remakes they have made so far. Naomi Scott and Mena Massoud's performance does the characters justice and sang their hearts out with conviction. Will Smith's inclusion, however questionable, it is also hard to come up with anyone more suitable for the role. The costumes and exotic settings makes the film more authentic and awe-inspiring than ever before. The film doesn't really do anything new, so perhaps the film is more suitable for the younger generation who is approaching these stories for the first time. But we can rest easy know that the kids of our next generation is still absorbing these wondrous stories, just through different mediums.
