A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard for Disney’s surprisingly beguiling Aladdin (2019)
In terms of what you might be expecting, Disney’s live-action adaptation of their own animated take on Aladdin is much more than a diamond in the rough. Against the odds, and certainly expectations, Guy Ritchie and his likeable and talented cast have managed to deliver a cave of wonders which honours the original classic and yet still manages to find enough new angles to make the story feel new again...

In terms of the Disney live-action remakes, Aladdin falls somewhere in the middle. Not nearly as good as The Jungle Book or Christopher Robin, but not nearly as bad as an Alice In Wonderland. An updated story is just enough to not make it a carbon copy, but they did eliminate a lot of the magic from the original in the places that counted most, the music. Its saving grace is Naomi Scott and Will Smith, who jointly bring superb charisma and carry the film to the very last scene.

Very Magical
I absolutely loved this live-action Disney addition of Aladdin and here is why! They stuck with the original animation Aladdin with all the old songs and adding some new songs to create a little more creativity to the movie which I love with some other small additions that were not in the animation film.
Will Smith did a fabulous job bringing the Genie alive, I really can't think of another person to bring the Genie alive on the big screen. The actors staying true to their characters, the singing with the old and new songs and the beautiful costumes were really magical to see.

Friend Like Me.
Aladdin- such a classic. I love this movie, its perfect. Why did their have to remake it, last year with Will Smith as the Genie. Why!!! Oh yea cause $$$. Anyways the songs so perect, you have.."Arabian Nights", "One Jump Ahead", "Friend Like Me", "Prince Ali"and "A Whole New World".
The plot: When street rat Aladdin frees a genie from a lamp, he finds his wishes granted. However, he soon finds that the evil has other plans for the lamp -- and for Princess Jasmine. But can Aladdin save Princess Jasmine and his love for her after she sees that he isn't quite what he appears to be?
The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists:
2004: AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs:
"Friend Like Me" – Nominated
"A Whole New World" – Nominated
Also you cant forgot about Robin Williams as the Genie. So excellent, so perfect, so funny, so hilarious, so amazing, so wonderful, such a great person.
A classic to all.

A great live action remake. The kids and I fully enjoyed this one. If you have to choose between this one and The Lion King remake, give The Lion King a miss. Aladdin does not skimp on the music, it even gives Princess Jasmine her own new powerful number. There is a strong Bollywood influence that creates a feast for the senses no matter what your age. Overall, Aladdin gifts us with more original content and developped characters whereas The Lion King remake played out like a less cute, uninspired carbon copy of its original. Robin Williams' genie was inimitable but Will Smith's own take is 'fresh' (geddit?) and just as charismatic in its own right. If you have kids, treat them to this.
