Lost a bit of magic but i still enjoyable.

Rating: 7/10 (27 August 2019)

So i sat down to watch this movie with a friend. I loved the original animated version as a kid. Genie was always super fun and made a lot of magic happen. Will Smith as genie was a good cast. He is a great actor. The only thing that was missing was a bit of the magic. I felt the original genie had a bit more POW and FIZZ. And was a bit more like clowny? But you gotta remember that the original was a animated movie made for kids, which of cause gives a lot more freedom to do that sort of thing more easily. But Will Smith still made it work. And he made the songs into his own. Aladdin and Yasmin and the sultan was very good in their roles. They looked right and did a fine job acting. Carpet and Abu was good too. Where i felt it was missing a bit was with Jaffar and Iago. It was like they wherent evil enough, there was not enough battle between Aladdin and Jaffar. And Iago actually being just a parrot without the real ability to talk normally was also a bit of a let down. But the scenery and colors and setting was very well made. So its still well worth a watch, but its not a 10 out of 10.
