Pushing the girl power agenda....

Rating: 2/10 (13 September 2019)

Disney missed the mark on this remake. It's sad they'd remake a classic like Aladdin just to promote a political agenda. It's offensive when Jasmine says she's made for "so much more" than "just getting married." If you'll recall the original animated Jasmine in the 1992 classic declared she would only marry for love.
The visual effects were awesome & amazing but the storyline was lacking. It pulled some familiar phrases from the original movie but it was clear the movie wanted to impress to young women they "should" want more than love. As if a girl should feel bad if she doesn't want anything more than raising a family.
The singing was subpar compared to the original. Even if I didn't have the original to compare to I'd still say it was subpar and that is from someone who loves Will Smith.
The acting was good to decent.
All in all not a great flick.
