As played by a top-knotted, goateed and go-go-go Will Smith, the all-powerful creature is still blue, but all wrong – an alarming conflation of the artificial and real, almost like the universe detected a defect in our plane of existence and vomited up this aesthetic aberration as evidence of nature’s capacity for error.
Like the many jewels and gold pieces in the Cave of Wonders, Aladdin is a hollow gem that falls apart as soon as you touch it. Click the button below to start this article in quick view.

Feeling crusty about movies from your childhood getting remakes is little more than a great reminder that millennials are getting old and no one cares what we think about people “ruining” the things we loved when we were growing up — but that doesn’t change the fact that the new Aladdin is objectively terrible. And it comes up short almost every chance it gets. The best thing this remake does is make you want to watch the original. It’s a chintzy revival, specifically designed to appeal to audiences who think “that looks familiar” qualifies as entertainment. Taylor can often be found at the cinemas checking out the latest films, whether they be artistic indie films or big budget blockbusters. I’d rewind to a few key parts in the original Aladdin when I was a kid — Genie’s frenzied introduction, Genie singing Aladdin into the palace, Genie finally being set free.

Aladdin uses one of his wishes to become a prince in order to court Jasmine, who, much to her chagrin, must marry royalty. Using real people with real facial expressions and real eyeballs who are assumed to have real genitals forces viewers to think too hard about the movie’s complete lack of logic. Taylor Williams has been a contributor to CBR since October 2017, with a focus on news articles. Guy Ritchie — that lover of gritty gangsters and violent action — was always an odd choice to helm a big Disney romantic musical and proves utterly the wrong guy here. RELATED: Aladdin Conjures Disney's Best Live-Action Remake Based on the beloved 1992 animated film starring Scott Weinger, Robin Williams and Linda Larkin, the new adaptation hasn't quite matched the original. Directed by Guy Ritchie, Aladdin stars Mena Massoud as Aladdin, Will Smith as Genie, Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine, Marwan Kenzari as Jafar, Navid Negahban as the Sultan of Agrabah, Billy Magnussen as new character Prince Anders, and Frank Welker and Alan Tudyk as the voices of Abu and Iago, respectively. Disney's live-action adaptation of Aladdin has received decidedly mixed early reviews, with some critics taking dead aim at the film. As a result, it's a more organic adaptation than "Dumbo," although still probably what amounts to an appetizer before. William Bibbiani, TheWrap: "This isn’t a movie. Want to support our journalism? "Saturday Night Live" alumna Nasim Pedrad is also a nice comic addition as Jasmine's protective handmaiden. Little blessings in a chaotic world.). Disabling it will result in some disabled or missing features. It was well written, there was nothing actually wrong with it, but it just didn't grip me. But if "Aladdin" doesn't turn that formula into unvarnished magic, it has brought this old world to life in a manner that, above all else, won't leave you feeling blue. If the sultan decides to make Jasmine the sultan at the end of the movie, does she even need to get married at all? - Movie Review - YouTube UPDATED VERY FREQUENTLY!https://letterboxd.com/ChristianHannah/Buy \"Christian's Reviews\" Merch!https://www.redbubble.com/people/ChristianHannah/shopCONTACT ME!TWITTER: http://twitter.com/MR_C_HANNAHSUBSCRIBE ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/13christianhannahSTARDUST APP: ChristianTylerHannahIMDB (For top ten lists and stuff): http://www.imdb.com/user/ur28522700/If you like those drawings of me, check out their DeviantARTs!http://nari16.deviantart.com/http://goodolgooicide.deviantart.com/Music can be found here:https://incompetech.comAny copyrighted material may belong to their respectful owners, but under copyright law, I can AND will enforce the \"Fair Use\" law in reviews, parodies, educational videos, etc. No one cares about people “ruining” the things we loved when we were growing up — but that doesn’t change the fact that the new Aladdin is objectively terrible. However, judging from early reviews, the remake hasn't quite captured the magic of the original. Aladdin fails at the tricky task facing all other Disney movies mutating into live-action: the reconciliation between real faces and cartoonish plotlines. Smith's singing voice isn't particularly well suited to the material, but he muddles through well enough, giving the Genie the requisite irreverence, as well as the longing to escape his itty bitty living space. The best thing this remake does is make you want to watch the original. “Aladdin” is not a cartoon, but it takes place in cartoonlike spaces that trade the grace and flow of animation for the cold literalism of computer-generated imagery. It's hardly a whole new world, but in this suddenly well-populated land of live-action reboots, makes the most out of its familiar one. I can't wait to see what they have for us next!

I didn't know what to expect because I'd heard some bad reviews (all unfounded) but both myself and my whole family were enthralled by this film. Not overly sophisticated, but a nice story telling, nonetheless. When you hear Smith recite certain lines taken directly from the original, it feels like an auditory uncanny valley: Technically, it sounds right, but you know it’s not. Why do some of the characters have American accents, while the others have what can only be referred to as Vaguely Ethnic Accents (™)?
But again, kids love trash, they love being pandered to, they love a catchy song and bright colors, so surely enough of them will like Aladdin just fine. Look, I know that no one cares that I, a grumpy 28-year-old raised on a healthy diet of Disney movies that my parents put on so they could fight in Hindi and Kashmiri and English in the other room in peace, doesn’t like a remake intended for children.

So, if you have a problem with that, then suck it.#Aladdin #Disney #WillSmith But even with all the representation afforded to me by these fictional brown people, there’s no denying that Aladdin is the genie’s movie. Those were the only words that I could conjure when I first laid eyes upon Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin, a sorta-live-action resurrection of Disney’s 1992 animated blockbuster. In reality, though, they’ve met before even as Aladdin is trying to pretend otherwise.
