I wanted to like it... I really did....

Rating: 5/10 (24 May 2019)

This movie was good, not great. Will Smith was good as the genie, and the scene when "Prince Ali" enters was the best part of the film (the scene in the cave is a close second). I felt the gentleman playing Jafaar was a miscast. He never felt truly menacing to me. I did not personally care for Aladdin or Jasmine in this movie. Their relationship didn't feel authentic in the slightest. Abu and the magic carpet were great! Solid 5/10, will most likely not be seeing it again.
