Not an easy job, but...

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2019)

Ok. It is not easy to do a remake after an animated film, it is not easy to do a remake after a Disney film (Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Jungle Book etc.) and it is CLEARLY not easy to do a remake for one of the most appreciated Disney films (if not, probably the most appreciated, side by side with Lion King).
Guy Ritchie has done everything possible to recreate the wonderful story of Aladdin and to make few changes here and there, some of them risky. But, in my opinion, he did an excellent job! If this would've been the first Aladdin we would've seen and if we didn't see the old animated movie when we were kids, we'd definitely think better of this production.
The actors did a good job, and Will Smith did the best he could for a very, very difficult situation... playing the role of a great animated character which was helped by the voice and talent of the great Robin Williams. It's not easy to go up to that point, but I think he managed and did a good role.
We, those who have seen the animated film when we were little, surely see this one differently now, at our age. But I think the kids will be very happy with it, and so should we!
