Could have titled it Sandeep

Rating: 5/10 (8 July 2019)

It would have been nice, if not for the fact that:

It seems to take place in Bangalore rather than in the middle east (which could be fine, change the title tho)
None of the actors has the charisma of the animated version, Jafar major disappointment
Aladdin only has one facial expression from start to end
The songs never manage to fully deliver. I really wanted to enjoy them but...they all felt flat. In Beauty and the Beast at least I really enjoyed most old songs re-adaptations, and "How Does a Moment Last Forever" is awesome. There is nothing remotely close to that in this movie.
Will tries (hard?), but you cannot compete with an animation when it comes to being a Genie
2h and 10 min for such a linear and simple story-line makes no sense
Jasmin's female power plot is empty....she does not want to be silenced, but we never understand what she has to say. She just wants to be in charge, just like Jafar, but she has sweet eyes so she must be the good one.

All in all if you get a deal price and don't mind the 2+h it is not a total waste of time, but keep expectations low if you do not want to be disappointed.
