Best Disney Live Action Remake!

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2019)

I enjoyed this SO much more than I was expecting to! In fact, an unpopular opinion of mine is that I prefer it to the original Aladdin. Or at least, I definitely prefer the characters of Aladdin and Jasmine in this one. Of all the live action Disney remakes, this is the only one that I've ever wanted to watch again, straight after having just watched it! It was PHENOMENAL! The entire cast did a fantastic job. The acting on all parts was just brilliant. Will Smith gave Genie his own style without trying to be Robin Williams. He was hilarious. Naomi filled Jasmine with such passion and emotion, and Mena gave Aladdin such fun, charm, and sincerity. I was in absolute awe the whole way through the movie. The songs are perfection in every way (A Whole New World gave me goosebumps like crazy), the extra details of the storyline felt important and very necessary, and it was overall funny, amusing, emotional, and captivating. Highly recommend to everyone (and don't be fooled by the mediocre trailers)!
