Wasn't Expecting Such a Great Remake

Rating: 9/10 (3 December 2019)

I knew the basic storyline of the original Aladdin but after finding out that the remake was starring Naomi Scott, I had to watch it. Personally, I felt that the directors gave the movie a different, more "modern" spin to the movie, characters, and setting. The music numbers were elaborate and the set designs were amazing. I really like how the directors also threw in some jokes to contribute humor to the film. Guy Ritchie, director, incorporates subtle touches and clever scenes to entertain the audience. At some points in the film, you feel as if you are not watching a "remake of Aladdin". The movie highlights new songs that are catchy while also paying tribute to the original songs. I felt that the cast was picked perfectly for each role. They made it interesting and exciting. The film is overall heartwarming and refreshing, I would definitely recommend it for all ages.
