I just finished watching Aladdin and I am so glad that I didnt let the critics and reviews from media outlets sway me from doing so. I am going to give you the straight truth about this film and hope that you will in turn go give it some love.
Firstly, let's not try to compare the late great Robin Williams to Will Smith. They both have completely different styles. It is literally like comparing apples and oranges. You just cant and shouldn't. With that being said I honestly believe that Will Smith took on a role that he probably knew was not going to be liked by some and did what he does best. He shines as the genie. He brought a mixture of comedy and heart to the role. He took this role and made it his own and was very successful.
As for the actors who played Aladdin and Jasmine, what can you say. They made me believe they were those characters and I enjoyed every moment of them on screen and whether they were acting or singing or both. The rest of the cast rounded off this great endeavor and took it to an amazing conclusion. I for one will watch this movie again and will recommend it to others. I truly believe this movie will stand the test of time.
Please dont listen to the critics. They were so wrong on this movie. They are just obviously not in touch with reality. Judge for yourself and you will see that this movie will become a favorite of yours.
