The best live action remake from Disney.

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2019)

I enjoyed the live-action remake of this movie. I think they did an excellent job, and it was different enough to surprise you a bit.
Some people have argued that it's a bit too 'Bollywoodesque', but, ancient Arabs dressed in colorful clothing, so it wasn't bad in its portrayal. I'm sure most people think they wear black, but that's a modern phenomenon, and only relegated to certain Islamic countries. There was clearly some Bollywood influence in certain parts of the movie, but they did a reasonably good job. I don't think it took away from anything.
The casting was excellent, and I have no complaints in that area. I'm happy to see mostly Arabs play the part since the story is based in the Middle East. There were some alterations with clothing, and certain parts were removed, but upon reflection, they wouldn't have made sense in a live-action film, so no complaints there either.
I've hated most of the live-action Disney remakes, but this was their best, in my opinion. It was a bit rushed, and certain songs weren't done right. I didn't mind the small changes to the story, like Jasmine becoming Sultan. I think they handled it very well. I'd highly recommend this movie, and I love Aladdin. I grew on the video games, movies, and cartoon show. I'm the first one to be critical if it was done poorly, but this was a really good effort. When I first saw the trailer, I was kind of worried, but I'm happy with it.
