It was alright. Jasmine was hot and Will Smith did admirable considering he was replacing a legend. The song where Jasmine made people disappear felt tacked on. She's going all Thanos on everyone and then none of that actually happened, I think she may have been on drugs. Jafar was pretty cool too. Oh and Nasim Pedrad's face annoys me for some reason. Ignore this topic.

Like Beauty and the Beast, it gave us unnecessary extra side characters and development for them we didn't need. And there was no big stars other than Will Smith, due to the very PC decision to use an all middle eastern cast.

Naomi Scott's star was on the rise, though Charlie's Angels probably took her down a peg or two. I thought the cast was great though. It sounds like it was a massive success all things considered, so their choice to go that route with just one big star seemed to not hurt them. It is kind of funny though that the title is the name of the main character, and then actor who plays him wasn't the top billing. I'm sure that's more common than I realize, like saving Private Ryan, but it still feels weird.

I was drinking while I was watching since I assumed I was going to hate it, but he seemed fine to me. He did whine a little too much though.

He just didnt embody Jafar to me, one of the most evil and iconic Disney villains.

The actors portrayal felt lukewarm.

I agree, jafar should've been played by Ben Kingsley. Can you imagine how good of a movie Aladdin would've been with Kingsley AND Smith?

Jafar looked like he was the same age as Aladdin, that's why iit was a bad casting job.

Besides that though the movie is quality. Absolutely loved the parade scene with the prince Ali song.

I've never seen a Disney movie that looks cheaper. The town buildings all look like paper mache, the Cave of Wonders is just a sand sculpture with glowing plastic lights placed in its eye sockets and nostrils, and the climax is changed from taking place in the gorgeous palace throne room and the sky above the city to a fucking porch patio.
