COMPLETE MESS

Rating: 1/10 (2 June 2019)

From start to finish this is a complete mess and strays so far from the original. I don't mind enhancing the story and putting a new spin on it, but Guy Richie butchered it by changing it in every possible way.
The dialogue is painful and unnatural and the musical scenes are a mess.
Aside from Naomi Scott, the casting was terrible. The old wise character of Jafar was totally destroyed by Marwan Kenzari. One of the best characters in the original, Jafar's sidekick Iago, could barely talk and for some reason was turned into a monster in one of the many completely unnecessary scenes.
Basically unrecognisable from one of Disney's great original movies and a real shame. No idea why Disney allowed this mess to happen.
