Review of Aladdin (2019) by Jphelim — 29 May 2019
Aladdin was my favorite Disney growing up, this live version was beautifully done. Great cast, great chemistry. Chemistry between Aladdin and Princess Jasmine is electric, you sense the great love connection between the two as they stare and gazed upon one another.
As well as the chemistry between Aladdin and the Genie; explosive. The classic songs from the original revamped and well performed. Will Smith paid homage to Robin Williams take on the Genie and added his flavor to it but didn’t tarnish Williams’ version.
The new addition song in the live version speechless was passionately and amazingly performed by Naomi Scott which left me “speechless” at the end of her performance. Loved how strong and independent Jasmine is in this version and how Aladdin has got a little swagger to him.
Overall an adventurous, fun, funny and entertaining film. Guy Ritchie did an amazing job directing this film. Was concerned when I heard he was to direct this film because his previous films were very different and almost the opposite of this type of genre but well done Guy Ritchie well done.
