Don't compare it to the animated version

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2019)

So many people don't like the film because they want it to be exactly like the animated version. Once you see it as its own thing I think it is a great movie. I know a lot of people like to rip on disney remakes but honestly it was a good movie. The casting was great, although Jafar could have been a little bit scarier. The story was similar to the original but had some added plot points that actually fit well. I am glad they gave Jasmine a stronger presence in this film. It had good comedy and action, the romance felt very realistic and organic. The music was great and I enjoyed that there was more instrumental intertwined in the songs. The visuals were stunning and beautiful. It was a very good movie.
