Review of Aladdin (2019) by Sergeantsoz — 27 May 2019

I love the original Aladdin and I think it’s one of the finest Disney movies out there. Aladdin has one of the best stories so how could they mess this up... Well to start off, the actors, all of them, including Will Smith, absolutely suck.

It was a very cringe-y movie. Guy Ritchie was a terrible choice for director. It had this weird fast forwarding and slow motion mixed into it. Oh and to make it worse Disney has to roll out the feminism agenda by making the women smart and wise and the prince courting Jasmine, an absolute moron.

I figured they’d go the cocky arrogant route but no let’s make him stupid. Oh and they made him white with some terrible German accent because Allah forbid they make someone of color look dumb. This next bit is a tiny spoiler but not really.

Jasmine wants to be Sultan. Ok cool. Women in Saudi Arabia just got the right to drive a car. That’s pushing it a little. Overall the original is much more charming and told the story better in less time.
