Dissapointed..

Rating: 5/10 (27 July 2019)

As a huge fan of the original i went into this not wanting to compare the two, and i didnt as this felt like a different movie with the same story.. if that make sense.
The cons i found with this film was the singing wasnt very strong, the camera work felt often very stagnant and overall felt it wasnt very well directed. I felt like i was watching a bollywood stage production alot of the time, and everything and everyone was just to clean in the world they created.
Jafar was not menacing at all every time he speaks he just sounds weak and not intimidating at all, i also think Iago was a big part of the original and should of played more of a role in this.. i guess they want it to be realistic and not have him talk and at the same time they have magic carpets, talking caves and genies.
What i did enjoy aside from the story and music was the relationship between genie and aladdin they had good chemistry and banter i found myself laughing a bit. Will Smith nailed it in this film i felt it shinned best whenever he was on screen.
I did somewhat enjoy watching this film whether that was because i loved the original and wanted to love this one who knows but i do know i wouldnt watch it a second time i left the theater feeling underwhelmed and dissapointed thinking why didnt i really like this movie much.
