Aladdin (2019)

This was not exactly a movie for me. I get that, Aladdin was never one of my favorites anyway, but I still wasn't super happy with this.


To be honest, every second Will Smith wasn't on screen felt like a waste. His genie was super good, I feel like he was able to make the character his own without taking away from Robin Williams. But like, did it need made? Nah, not really. All the musical numbers without the genie felt a little... meh to me, although it was a blast to see a live version of Never Had A Friend Like Me, I really did like that.


All in all, I'd call it a 5.5 out of 10. A movie I'd show to my kids, but it's for sure not something I'd go out of my way to see again.
