decent but for the wrong reasons

Rating: 5/10 (22 September 2019)

I feel like everything good about this movie came from the original. which is why i enjoyed it for the most part. i haven't seen the original since i was a kid, but from what I remember, most of it was better in the original. the actors cast to play aladdin and jaffar were lame. and robin williams >>>>>>>>>>> will smith as the genie. he wasn't horrible, but i think that was a poor choice. shoulda gone with someone younger who could pull off wacky and goofy, and someone with wider acting range. this movie reminded me that the soundtrack for the original aladdin is pretty amazing (1 viewing) (9/22/19)
