Unmagical

Rating: 5/10 (29 August 2019)

Unmagical... Something I have felt in almost all of the Disney live-action remakes. Everything looks shiny all glittering from the outside but equally missing the heart that made the originals such classic. Something Guy Ritchie failed to bring in this adaptation. The story wasn't told in a gripping way, it was just moments tied in together with mediocre dialogues and mostly ok-ish song (however one or two were actually good) and Not to undermine the efforts of the lead actors they were actually trying their best and I could see potential in their performances but I believe Guy Ritchie failed to bring the best out of them. Speaking of which Jaffar was such a disappointment. Will Smith's Genie at first I wasn't on board with, he looked like he was trying too much but towards the end of the movie you kinda get used to it and even he starts to loosen it up and overall was nice I'd say not bad but not too great as well. Overall a B-grade adaptation coming out of something which should have been left untouched but ofcourse how else will Disney cash grab and fill it's undying greed. 6/10 for the movie but one less start because of Disney and it's greed.
