Review of Aladdin (2019) by Foxgrove — 07 Jun 2019
A somewhat lacklustre and unnecessary reboot of the far better 90's toon. Whilst watchable this Aladdin fails to fly even with the aid of a magic carpet. Will Smith, although not bad, is no substitute for the comic brilliance of Robin Williams as the genie and the songs lack strong orchestration in their arrangements.
The new song 'Speechless' also underwhelms. Production Design and Costumes are fine, but their is a lack of an authentic feel to the whole enterprise. The special visual effects are probably the best thing about a production that just feels flat and uninspired.
