The original is still better

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2020)

I found this movie interesting. It was enjoyable - Aladdin. I liked it. It's pretty much the same as the original though I still noticed some differences. I wouldn't say it was as good as the original - no way! The original Aladdin or the animated version was superior.
The ending in this Aladdin was different compared to the original. I actually didn't like the ending for this one. It was ordinary. It could've been better.
The music was pretty much the same or similar as the cartoon version of Aladdin. I like the song/music Princess Jasmine was singing towards the end of Aladdin. I enjoyed listening to that. The song is called "Speechless". It's a great and wonderful song.
The cast was brilliant. I liked Aladdin and Jasmine in this one. Both were excellent choices.
The story was pretty much the same. Aladdin goes in that cave to search, find and retrieve that magic lamp. That was important because that magic lamp grants you three wishes. That was my favourite part of the movie though I prefer one in the original better. Nice to see the magic carpet too - I like the magic carpet in Aladdin.
When it comes to the movie, the thing I was looking forward to was seeing the Genie. The Genie was played by Will Smith. He was excellent as the Genie; in fact, I was actually surprised by Will Smith's performance. He was one of the reasons why this movie, Aladdin, was enjoyable along with the people that played Aladdin and Jasmine. Like I said, the cast that were chosen was excellent. It was pretty much spot on. I liked Will Smith as the Genie. He was cool and funny. It was the Genie that made this movie a success. The Genie wishes to be "free" you know, and that's what happened.
The movie made over a billion at box office which was good to see and deservedly so. It's a record I think.
The most interesting character of all, Jafar, was in this movie. Jafar, as the villain, was fine. The only thing I didn't like about Jafar was that he didn't look anything like the one in the animated version. I did like Jafar's Snake Staff. I always wanted to own one as a child.
I actually have the calendar of this Aladdin movie at home. I have it displayed on the wall. It looks really good. That shows how much I enjoyed it.
The most interesting of the lot was that Parrot - Iago. He looked and sounded nothing like the one in the animated version. I was disappointed by that. Iago is one of the reasons why Aladdin is enjoyable. In the animated version, Iago has a personality. In this one, he doesn't have one.
Abu, however, Aladdin's pet was fine. Looked exactly the same as in the animated version. Let's not forget other characters such as Hakim and Razoul. They're important characters found within Aladdin. I liked them in the animated version better still.
Basically, Aladdin was still a fine and good movie. I found it to be enjoyable, and it's something you can enjoy watching again, but I still think the original one was still the best. It would've been great had it been an exact copy of Aladdin. I think they made a mistake with some of the changes.
However, I won't mind at all if there is a sequel to this Aladdin movie in the future. I think it will be a good sequel especially if it's about the return of Jafar. I really liked that movie or sequel. Happens to be one of my favourite Disney sequels.
