The biggest waste of time of 2019.

Rating: 2/10 (30 August 2019)

Do i need to go in full detail on why the movie is bad? It looks like i really have to express my feeling towards this. It's very obvious that it was a bad idea from the start. They spend 183 million dollars to make a movie that doesn't have a reason to exist and at the same time it looks very fake, since it relies so much on visual effects.
Aladdin (2019) proofs why those type of stories that Disney has told already work so well in animated form and how they can't recapture the magic of the old animated classics. It's also disrespectful not only to the original, but also to Robin Williams, who gave the best performance in his entire career and a very unique interpretation of Genie. Will Smith doesn't work at all and he is very miscast in it. They retold the same story that everybody is familiar, but in live-action and worse than ever; did some changes that are horrible (Jafar and Iago are the best examples); they stretch out the story for no apparent reason, just to be longer - like the other Disney remakes and the list goes on and on.
I'll admit one thing that Disney will never change at all: they were never good at making live-action movies with the only exception of Pirates of the Caribbean (if you don't count the forth and the fifth movie), but everything else is not good at all and all of them are very dull. It's a big waste of time and money and it's a movie that i'll never going to revisit ever again.
So do yourself a favour and watch the original instead, since it's beautiful; timeless; charming and the story was way better told, while the live-action remake will become dated very quickly, because of the effects. It relies solely on making money at the box office and manipulates you by using your childhood memories (or should i say nostalgia) to get your money.
