So I just got back and oh boy how disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (24 May 2019)

This remake of Aladdin is very disappointing, and very pointless. Why does this movie exist? Mostly just for a nostalgic cash grab.
Surprisingly the part I liked was will Smith, which us funny cause I thought the genie would be the worst part, it's the best part. He is the only thing keeping this movie from being a 3. This movie shouldnt have been made, it tries to be like the animated film, but the animated film was 90 minutes, this is 2 hours and 8 minutes and you can tell they tried stretching 90 minutes to fit into a 2 hour long movie.
The acting is also meh, naomi Scott was good so was will Smith. Jafar sucked though, by far the worst acting in the movie. Here's the thing about this movie, it tries so hard to recreate the animation. The thing with something's in the animation only will work in the animation, the giant ugly CGI genie and Jafar are two examples of things that dont translate well from cartoon to live action. Jafar looks like he did in the animation, but here he looks like from a power rangers episode and it doesnt fit.
Overall I would give this film a 5/10, the musical numbers are pretty good and will Smith is actually good in it, probably will lower it in multiple viewings who knows.
The jungle book is still the best Disney remake
