The new Aladdin is forgettable.

Rating: 2/10 (24 May 2019)

I'm sure when we all saw the Will Smith Genie we all freaked out, and it should have stayed that way. I wanted to give this movie a chance, since it looked kinda good but when I watched it.. it was terrible. Hope you don't mind some spoilers, we all know the story of Aladdin it just has some minor changes. Anyways, was it really necessary to give Genie a girlfriend? That seemed so random, I bet that was the only reason for that new character to exist. It's like someone took the Aladdin script and just self inserted themselves into the movie to be shipped with the Genie. Let me not get started on Jafar, he has to be the worst part in this entire movie he even reveals himself trying to kill Aladdin. In the original he disguised himself so he wouldn't be recognized, but here Jafar is like "Yep I'm Jafar, get me that lamp"
Most of the scenes feel rushed? Like when Jasmine gives 2 kids some bread that scene goes by way too fast. Let me not get started on the actors, it really sounds like nobody cares. Except for maybe Will Smith, because he's at least trying but.. compared to everyone else it just seems like they wanted their check so they didn't bother to put some emotion in their characters. Like when Aladdin talks it sounds like he couldn't care less, and it doesn't make me feel for him as a character. Also Jasmine's song felt so forced in and seemed like they added it last minute, I thought that scene was funny because she's singing while being escorted out and the guards don't even tell her to "Shut up"
