The trailers did not do this movie any justice!

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2019)

The trailers did not do Aladdin any justice, whatsoever. The trailers were bad, period. I was not expecting this movie to be incredible.
One of the important aspects in the movie is the music. I got to give a huge thanks to Alan Menken, the original composer, who returned and brought the music back to life. Alan knew the characters so well in the animated film which made it amazing. The original songs in this live adaption hit me in the feels, to be honest, and it felt genuine. I can tell that the actors, especially Naomi Scott, went all in. She did a fantastic job as princess Jasmine. Of course, Will Smith will never top Robin Williams, but his rendition of the Genie was great. Mena Massoud was a surprisingly good Aladdin. The chemistry between all of these characters made the movie enjoyable.
I knocked off a few stars because some of the directing decisions were a bit iffy.
-----SPOILER ALERT: ----
Director Guy Ritchie totally butchered the camera work on some of the key moments especially during/after the Aladdin's reprise version of One Jump Ahead. And... although, the new song, "Speechless," was an eh/okay song, the second rendition/reprise version just didn't feel right. I knew what Guy was trying to do, but It felt way too forced with the premonition aspect because it stopped the flow of the movie. Naomi Scott sings and acts incredibly well in the scene, but I got to pin the problem with Guy Richie's directing decision.
Overall, I recommend this movie. It's a fun experience.
