"Aladdin" (1992) was a hugely entertaining classic; it's dynamic and hilarious. This 2019 live-action remake is not as dynamic, hilarious, or as entertaining as the original animated classic, and it has a little less deviation than "Beauty and the Beast" from 2017. This film may have a contemporary tone, but it works as a modern Disney remake for the futuristic generation. Alan Menken did a great job with the music score here. There are a few times where Guy Ritchie's direction shines. The effects, including the production design is remarkable at best, but I can tell that Abu as an elephant is just a CGI effect that doesn't look like the real thing. As far as the acting went, the cast could've done it a lot better with more energy because they seem to be a little underplayed, But the performances overall seemed decent enough. But perhaps the only person that is below all of the others is Marwan Kenzari as Jafar; In the original animated film, Jafar is genuinely menacing with a dark sinister voice. In this live action remake however, Marwan's performance is mostly stiff and the one feature that is a dead give-away is the sound of his voice; he doesn't effectively scary and to top this off, he is not really that scary in general. They should've hired Gerard Butler to do the role. Will Smith is passable as the genie; he is portrayed as a mentor who takes things personally, giving advice, and he even made me chuckle sometimes because he is quite funny. As for the singing, he did a great job singing "Arabian Nights," but he needs more work on "Never had a friend like me," and "Prince Ali." Another problem with Will's Smith's genie is that he seems to be a bit arrogant by bragging sometimes. Alan Tudyk did a brilliant job voicing Jafar's evil sidekick, "Iago the macaw." Naomi Scott is perfectly fine as Princess Jasmin. And Mena Massoud as the title character himself, he is pretty decent. The singing of both Mena and Naomi is wonderful. My big issue with this film is that there are a few moments that are ridiculous, especially involving Dalia played by Nasim Pedrad. (No Spoilers. My reviews are mostly spoiler free). To conclude: This impressive-looking remake is not as dynamic, hilarious or even as perfect as the original animated classic from 1992. 2.5/5

The original 1992 version was so much better than the live action remake in my opinion. I feel like all of the live action remakes Disney made are a total disgrace!

I just rented it in 4K and the realized that web playing is limited to 480p...! :( So didn't even watch it and requested a refund. Seems to be a known issue, probably contractual...
