If you don't tear up at least a little by the end of this movie, you're a monster.

Bland acting, accents change mid sentence, poor CGI, overuse of green screens, soap opera quality cameras, and autotuned singing. It's an obvious smash and grab project that also smashes your childhood and grabs the fourth-wall with almost every character glancing directly at the camera or down at the floor to find their mark. It's an absolute freaking mess with very little heart. Jafar's character... oh my god. Jafar's lines were delivered with all the intensity of a bar of Xanax slowly melting into a hot turd. Will Smith is the only reason this film earns a single star. He's obviously the only one who cared and tried his best to support the entire film on his own CGI shoulders. When the Genie is teaching Aladdin how to act around the princess, it actually feels like Will Smith, himself, is trying his best to teach "Mr. A-Lad-Did-n't-Memorize-His-Lines" how to be a real actor. I said what I said, and I'm sorry if it hurt anyone's feelings, but this movie was far more insulting to the original's artistic integrity. Might have just as well been the prequel to the CATS movie (The Butthole Version).
