Total Disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (20 August 2019)

Aladdin 1992 was one of the best movies ever created by Disney. This remake however, is a total disappointment.
Honestly, if Will Smith wasn't in the movie I'd EASILY rate it less than 4
I gave 1 start for the visuals
1 star for some recreated moments in the movie
2 starts for Will Smith
Although he -for sure- did not mirror the performance of Robin Williams, which is understandable, his performance wasn't bad at all.. Some moments I felt like NOOOO where's R Williams? Especially in the cave scene.
Mena and Naomi were not so bad as a cast, but Mena did not impersonate Aladdin so well, and the characters did not have any kind of chemistry on screen. Maybe this was due to the awful Dialogue written by the writers.
Overall, the cast is bad (especially jafar and the sultan) the scenes are so rushed, dialogue is terrible, and I thought the costumes were not so great (Especially Jasmine's).
When you want to make something different (as not to mirror the original movie which is kind of hard to do) try to make it better... but this is just total disappointment. I have to watch the original Aladdin just to wipe that awful memory from my brain.
