I've watched the original Aladdin around 1500 to 2000 times in my life and it's been my favorite movie since I was born. It was even the first movie I went to see in theaters and I can recite 98 percent of of the movie anytime.

Anyways, even though I'm such a big fan and I've been disappointed with live action Disney movies, I was still very excited about this one and had a very open mind. The trailers looked really great, and I didn't know why everyone was complaining about Will Smith and the Prince Ali song. I was going into thinking it was going to be a 10/10 movies and I was so hyped.

It started off pretty well with the intro with Will Smith narrating everything. I also liked the intro to Aladdin and Jasmine and thought the actors did great all around. I thought Abu was lame but didn't think it was so bad and I knew it was really difficult to make a monkey look good for a movie so I let it slide. Then things took a turn for the worst and it kept getting worse and worse as it went on. The ending completely killed all enjoyment out of the movie and really stopped it from being a classic.

Best Parts

Will Smith: fantastic character all around and the biggest star in the movie. I really loved all his songs and jokes. 10/10

The Songs (not Jasmine):

Friend Like Me and Pricne Ali were by far the two best songs in the movie. It was terrific to see how much energy Will Smith and the cast put together to create these. 10/10

One Jump Ahead- this was a great song as well. I loved how they stayed true to the movie but still made some small changes that made sense. 9/10

Whole New World: pretty standard I don't think there is a way to beat the original but they tried hard and showed good emotion 8/10

Worst Parts:

Jazmine's Songs: completely unnecessary and just made the movie drag on. I didn't understand what the point of her two songs were. 2/10

Jafar: Jafar was lame as frick. This is supposed to be one of the most bad ass villains ever and they completely screwed him. He never even seemed like a good threat to anyone. The fact that they didn't have a villain song is unacceptable. His song was what was looking forward to the most and it was just brush over it. 3/10

The ending: by God how could they botch an ending the way they did. After the no villian song, I thought they could redeem it with the awesome fight at the end with Aladdin and Jafar then the snake. They had a small chase with the lamp and it was over... Serious underwhelming stuff. I couldn't believe my eyes when I finally realized that's how they are going to end it... 1/10

Aladdin: I really liked the actor and he did a great job for what he had to work with but he never had a chance to show his cleverness and braveness during the movie. Part of it is related to the ending scene that I mentioned up above, I felt like he was never even given a chance with no fight scenes at all. 5/10

The friend, Iago, the guards, the sultan were all bad too. 4/10

All in all, the movie was not great and only a few parts made it good and enjoyable. Some parts were really cringe worthy and unnecessary and the ending jsut killed it for me.

5.5 - 6/10

I like that the movie set up the possibility for a sequel. I was afraid they'd destroy the lamp or something to keep it standalone. Not only did they keep the lamp intact, but Jafar even said that they hadn't seen the last of him (something I don't believe he said in the original movie).

I think it'd be cool to see The Return of Jafar in live action. You'd get your villain song that you wanted, and they could even sprinkle in the plot from Aladdin 3 into it (since let's be real, they'll never make that movie into live action).

Why do you think they would remake 5he shitty direct to DVD sequel, but not the decent 3rd one?

I can't watch Aladdin anymore because Twisted pretty much supplanted it in my head.

Aladdin is just some horndog thief and Jafar is the only guy who actually wants to figure out a solution to Agrabah's problems.

You can tell the bad villain casting just by watching the trailer. The Jafar vibe was severely lacking.

They should have cast someone like Ben Kingsley. He would have done Jafar proud.

I have a feeling this is going to happen to the Lion King. A miscast for the main villain.

I honestly have a feeling it will be. I don't think anyone was really excited for this, despite it being one of many of ours favorites growing up.

This is exactly how I felt about Jafar, someone in my thread said they Disney didn't want to cast an old guy cuz it was creepy, I dunno I thought that was what made him more evil.

One of my favorite songs was "Second Rate' from the second one.

What did other people think of the ending? I don't see a lot of people care about it when I read reviews.

I'm pretty sure it's already been confirmed that Be Prepared is cut from the movie in favor of some Beyonce shit.

Ugh.

Come on Disney, you've been absolutely killing it with villains in the MCU the past several years, why the fuck can't you do it for the live action remakes

It was confirmed that they are including it. Don't know if it was always in or if fan reaction did it, but it's in it.

I have. You'll find that I've asked this question numerous times.
