What a disappointment, and a total waste of time. Comparing this to the original, from the very start, the movie falls short in story, and acting. They rush the story so much that it loses focus on so much back story, especially the bond between Aladdin and the Princess. So much is missing, that it flattened itself to a very boring and bland film unworthy of matching itself to its predecessor. The obvious character is missing from the film, and the main reason the original Aladdin was such a masterpiece... Robin Williams. The Genie in this film is boring. He's not funny. He has no character. The movie is missing Robin. He brought that spark that made the original movie such a success. Will Smith should have never taken this role as no one can ever live up to Master Williams. Such a waste.
