All I'm gonna say is other than like four characters, this is Hollywood going what it does best. Blatant whitewashing. Dragon Ball is an anime and manga. With Japanese characters. You know how to make it right? Cast the right people as the characters. Goku isn't white. He's Japanese. The script is also horrible and you wasted the acting talents of Jamie Chung. No one will watch a live action anime movie if it is not animated or casted with Japanese actors. 0/10

Saw the trailer. The trailer basically spoiled the entire plot. Then proceeded to watch the movie with my sister (who had not seen the trailer). We both agreed that the movie was predictable and annoying. Brenda Song's character (movie was so blah that I legit forgot her name) made dumb choices whenever she was investigating. Mr. Allstate Guy had a "tragic" backstory with his dead daughter that basically was unneeded and made NO sense. And Mr. Clean Cut Russell was as cliche as cliche gets. My sister and I both said at the end that it would have been better in a book. Not recommended. 1/5

I think that this movie wasn't the best. The visuals were indeed beautiful, I will not lie. Naomi Scott, Mena Massoud and (ESPECIALLY) Will Smith did an amazing job. I liked their acting and their presence during the film. But some aspects did not need to happen or were just uninteresting. The scene where Jasmine sings the second part to Speechless was completely unneeded and made no sense in the context of the situation. But hey, anything to get the money from the soundtrack right? And the actor who played Jafar looked completely and utterly bored during his performance. He had a serious scene with Jasmine, telling her that he would be the new sultan and he looked like he was bored out of his mind. Aladdin wasn't really the best that Disney could do. And I walked into this movie with no real excitement. I was right. All and all, this is a good movie for the kids. But for the adults and the teens, it is not the best. I'd give it a 2/5
