I watched it with my husband. Honeslty, many people are trash talking because they keep comparing it to the 1992. Yes, I love classical Aladdin. Prince Ali is still my favorite song from the movie. But this is a new take to the movie that bring things more up to date to our current generations. Smith does carry the movie and he might not be Williams but he made me laugh several times. He did a great job as the genie. It was fun, funny, overly enjoyable to watch. For a moment stop comparing it to the original. Its a cartoon, this is live action, alterations have to be made. Just watch as if its a new movie, what are its faults then? I enjoy the plot holes being fixed from the original. But at the end of the day it is a movie worth watching.
