Almost as good as the 1924 original Thief of Bagdad and the 1940 version, and of course Disney's Aladdin

Rating: 7/10 (28 June 2019)

I took my daughter to see this and we both enjoyed it, she especially loves the movie. Though we agreed it is not quite as good as the animated, and I agree that it is not quite as good as the original, called the Thief of Baghdad - 1924 silent movie, or the remake Thief of Bagdad - 1940, it does definitely join the ranks of those previous. The silent picture of 1924 has the highest rating of any of them and this latest version is rated the same as the 1940 version. If you have not seen those versions I encourage you to do so, and if you have not yet discovered the magic of silent film this would be a great introduction for you! After that you can check out Rudolph Valentino in Son of the Sheik, and Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. But this version is good for the modern generation.
