Despite A Noticeably Tame Guy Ritchie, ‘Aladdin’ Offers More Than Your Typical Disney Remake
2213d ago
Guy Ritchie’s adaptation is lively, colourful and genuinely funny – making only judicious tweaks to the original, it’s thankfully not a whole new world
2213d ago
When the first clip of Disney’s live-action “Aladdin” dropped in February, audiences were faced with their worst nightmare: a ridiculous, indigo-painted Will Smith. Viewers were understandably appalled that their beloved genie had gone from Robin Williams’ swift-talking clown to the love child of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Violet Beauregarde. Disney, we thought, totally blue it.

Guy Ritchie’s family-friendly, CG-enhanced live-action version of Disney’s animated hit surprises in all the right ways
2213d ago
Will Smith steps into Robin Williams’ shoes, bringing fresh attitude to the role of the Genie in Guy Ritchie's high-risk, mostly rewarding live-action remake.
2213d ago
Disney's live-action remake of Aladdin isn't a disaster, but the big question is...why?
2213d ago
Not exactly a whole new world.

Seemingly set in a sanitized corner of Adventureland, the real fantasy offered here is getting to be in Will Smith’s entourage
2213d ago
Gold-hearted “street rat” Aladdin (Mena Massoud) dreams of a better life. Cosseted princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott) dreams of freedom. And frustrated vizier Jafar (Marwan Kenzari) lusts for power — which he hopes to gain via a wish-granting genie (Will Smith) who resides in a magic lamp in the nearby Cave of Wonders.

Rollicking adventure and creative missteps in Guy Ritchie's Disney remake
2213d ago
Then Aladdin descends once more into a mess of spectacle, and it’s hard not to wonder what these actors could do with something a bit more original.
2213d ago
This “Aladdin” is still the funny-sentimental-inspirational story of a poor “street rat” who comes into possession of a magic lamp and a magic carpet, summons a big blue genie, and embarks on a scheme to win the heart of a princess and stop an evil vizier from stealing the kingdom away from the heroine’s dad.
2213d ago
Will Smith plays the Genie in Disney's live-action remake of its 1992 animated classic.
2213d ago
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.
2213d ago
There’s so little original vision here that it comes off like a rough draft
2213d ago
The director Guy Ritchie has reheated the 1992 Disney film’s tropes and tunes to graceless and cumbersome effect.
2213d ago
The movie itself, while not entirely terrible — a lot of craft has been purchased, and even a little art — is pointless in a particularly aggressive way.
2213d ago
Guy Ritchie’s live-action remake is content to trace the original’s narrative beats with perfunctory indifference.
