Review of Aladdin (2019) by Michael Phillips for Chicago Tribune — 21 May 2019
As stand-alones, some of these work better than others. Director Jon Favreau’s “The Jungle Book” came off as a real movie unto itself, as did Kenneth Branagh’s sincere, well-acted “Cinderella” (I was in the minority on that one).
Aladdin, though, feels pointless. It’s cinematic karaoke. It’s an ice show without the ice.
