Majestic ride with Aladdin

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2019)

So this is JM's all time favorite disney movie and I gotta be honest, we walked into this movie ready to hate coz the trailer didn't really impress us much. So while watching, I kept on looking at him and telling him to give it a chance because his face was really serious and concerned. The first part actually was living to our expectations but as the movie progressed, all I could say is... it was AMAZING. It's funny and refreshing to see Aladdin's comical side which for me is better compared to the original film, especially the Jams scene which was very hilarious. Another concern we had was Will Smith's version of the Genie, and once again we were proved wrong! He was amazing, he was funny in his own way. Yeah it's hard not to compare it with the great Robin Williams but I gotta say he made it his own and his chemistry with Aladdin was superb. As for Jafar, uhmm not everyone will come around liking his portrayal for there are some scenes where his presence is not as intimidating as the original.
Overall the movie was very enjoyable, quirky in it's own fun ways and was NOT a copy and paste of the animated film. It preserved what made the movie good and made it better by improving other aspects to make the movie even greater.
