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.

Not quite what I hoped
I have to start by saying Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds really does become his character. He is Deadpool there is no doubt about that, he is someone you can love and laugh at. I enjoyed this film, it did make me laugh, I probably would watch it again. But to me it didn't live up to the first one, the humour was still there but sometimes forced. A lot of action which was expected and I enjoyed being part of the X-Men universe. There isn't much bad I can say about it, just that I expected more after loving the first one so much.

Doesn't Take Off!
If you're expecting a 'live action' version of the loveable, original Disney animation - you're not going to get it! Unfortunately this delivers a sad, dark movie that has hardly any uplifting or magical moments in it. I know Tim Burton has directed, but where is the heart from films such as Edward Scissorhands? The cast perform well (Eva Green stands out) and the special effects are good, but the whole thing leaves you feeling sad. I know most Disney movies have sad themes, but this is not the family entertainment you'd expect with at least an element of joyfulness. Give it a miss.

    Nothing is much more than a series of monologues. It is about - among other things - cupcakes,...

"I love that Criterion not only focuses on the classic work of the Fellinis, the Bergmans and the Kurosawas of film history but also gives attention to controversial, camp, and cult films like Salò, Head, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, and Pink Flamingos. And none is more strangely perfect than House. One of the most beautifully strange and original films I’ve ever seen. Almost like a psychedelic, live-action Japanese version of an episode of Teletubbies, H.R. Pufnstuf, or Scooby-Doo. The fact that both this and Eraserhead came out in the same year leads me to believe there were some really good drugs floating around in 1977."
