I actually enjoyed it quite a bit

Was a lot more fun than I expected. Still think Jafar was terribly cast though

Jafar was horrible. It also pissed me off so damn much that Will Smith got top billing. I am starting to hate that man. I still blame him that Suicide Squad was Deadshot and friends most likely because of him and his agent.

No one is ever gonna match Robin Williams, but he did a decent job as the genie

He did do a decent job, however Genie, or the actor who played him, should never get top billing.

That was more likely a case of stereotypical Hollywood execs going "No one is going to care about this movie, we need to cast at least on A-list star to recoup our multi-million dollar investment because people see movies starring people they already know from other things."

Better to blame the people signing the checks in that case than the people cashing them.

Why?


Because he is not the main or the secondary character. The movie is about a street rat and a princess falling in love, not about a Genie.

Could be replaced with a wizard, bard, warlock, or any other spellcaster. The movie could not have been possible without Aladdin and a princess.

You could replace Aladdin with Dave, jake, Harrison, or Luke the Streetdog, and you could replace the Princess with the noblewoman or the countess or the duchess or like.. the rich girl whos dad is the leader of the mob or something

The movie could not have been possible without a magical being.. specifically a genie

Robin Williams MADE the first Aladdin....honestly. He should have gotten top billing.

Have not seen the new one, but I really have no interest. Robin rocked that roll so hard, I don't even want to think about anyone else as the genie at this point.

I liked the new Aladdin, too. Agree that Will Smith was about as good a genie as you could hope for and carried much of the movie.

Oh and this movie is absolutely as much about the genie as anything else. A huge part of Aladdin's character development is his granting the genie his freedom, so not only is genie critical to the overall plot, but to Aladdin himself

I still remember when it dawned on me that the genie is the main star of the film, and not Aladdin.

And yep, Will Smith did a surprisingly good job. I didn't think anyone would match the OG but he made it work for his own style and I enjoyed it.

I went in with low expectations and came out grinning.

AT some points in the movie. It looks like a cheap made for TV Disney Special. Damn Disney are so cheap.

I have mainly heard good things about it, but I stick by what I said. I don't want to mar the original by watching a new version. I like Robin as the Genie in my mind, so I'm gonna skip this movie, even if it's great.
