Well.....it wasn't bad

Rating: 5/10 (24 September 2019)

Ok, this live action remake wasn't bad, but I can't call is great or much to remember. Let's first start off like this, the actors who played Aladdin and Jasmine did really well. It wasn't their fault, Will Smith was an ok Genie. He's not Robin, but I wasn't hating him. Abu had a bit of entertainment too. Now the issues with the characters. Iago was basically nothing in this movie. In the cartoon he had more character, here he's just a one liner. The Sultan has a performance I forgot when the movie was over, in the cartoon, The Sultan was comic relief and fun to watch. Here he's just there, Jafar was the same way. Sure he had a moment or two where he had Jafar villain moments, but I never felt legit fear he'd win. In the cartoon he becomes a snake and had a legit chance to win, here it felt rushed.
So I'd give it a C minus, i wrote 5 stars, but I'd go with 4 and a half stars actually. The main good characters did really well, it was Jafar and The Sultan that hurt this movie, the songs (especially a whole new world) were done well
