Not a worthy remake.

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2020)

I am not satisfied with this one. It did not elevate me at all, I watched the film with a blank face except for Will Smith's scenes. It couldn't give justice to the original one.
The cinematography was average and VFX was a joke, I don't know where have they invested a budget of $183 million, definately on sets and costumes but surely not on VFX.
As far as performance is concerned only Will Smith and Naomi Scott could give justice to their characters, rest all were average and dull. Will Smith had perfect comic timing and had a charm in his performance whereas Naomi was stunning and had a great screen presence.
Mena Massoud didn't portrayed Aladdin well.
He was not our Aladdin we have known since decades. He wasn't adventurous, didn't look smart and moreover he was not charismatic. Manzar wasn't intimidating, menacing and never looked threatening. He was quite dull and boring, definately a miscast.
If it had been the original one, it would have never crossed a billion dollar mark. But it did and all credit goes to the legacy set by the original 1994 animated Aladdin.
It's watchable but surely not recommendable.
