Yeah , Will Smith's Genie looks like trash. Even if in the finished product hes blue.

Even John Leguizamo's portrayals of Genie looked better.

Aladdin doesnt look very...handsome.

Do people still use "epic fail"?

Let's just pretend they do for this.

Ugh just use a CGI genie to look like the original and dub Robin Williams voice over it

This is a disgrace to the memory of Robin Williams. Hollywood will do anything to make a buck even if it means shitting on the memories of millions of people.

Pretty much.

I can see this bombing pretty hard actually. Smith doesn't have the box office power he used to, and the other two are relative newcomers. And, based on the backlash so far, fans of the original don't seem to care for the directional and stylistic choices they've revealed so far, and that's putting it mildly.

I really want to see a terrific movie that is not a mostly copy and paste of the animated Disney Aladdin movie.
That is bush league same as sequels that mostly reuse the same freakin story.

Probably shouldn't take it so personally or as an assault on Robin Williams. Just sayin'.

Yeah, if he was still alive, I think they would no doubt reprise him for the role, like James Earl Jones as Mufasa.

As it is, I have no hopes for this movie unlike the Lion King which at least looks promising to a point.

Yeah. This is going to be a Live Action Musical so that Automatically puts into n "The No Fly Zone" right off the bat.

Yeah, musicals are not my thing either.

I tried to watch that Beauty and the Beast live-action musical remake and only made it about 10 minutes and couldn't take it anymore.

So this is probably a pass for me, too.

Jafar is now a pretty boy

Depends how musical they are.
I couldnt get past the first 10-15 minutes of INTO THE WOODS as an example, it was distracting.
A song here and there when aproriate is ok.

And can any of these actors even sing?!?

^ Apart from Will smith who's done Rap/Hip hop.

Wait, he was a rapper?

He also performed the theme song of his hit sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel Air:

That said, Will can rap but I'm not particularly aware of him singing. Not a huge Will buff though.

Ben Kingsley should have played Jafar.

Blue skin, green font, red sig...pick a color, Fly!

Too bad the Rainbow has already been taken... Oh well... what color do you get if you mix all 3?

That looks phucking awful.

Oy.

And the crowd goes mild

Will should make the sound track for this.

"Gettin genie with it."

A thousand times, no.

looks like total shit

Movie of the year, next to Lion King.

THIS IS GOING TO BE BIGGER THAN AVENGERS ENDGAME!

The Genie rendition is horrible.

This one looks meh, still going to watch it eventually though as I love the original cartoon.

Might get killed at the box office with KOTM the following weekend.

Will Smith is poison to a movie now. This is trash.

Yup, this is blue jizz

I bet Gilbert Gottfried wasn't even asked to play as Iago again. After seeing everything else, that would've been perhaps the only saving grace left for this movie 'cause Genie don't seem like he's gonna be it.

I really don't want to see a extreme amount of copy and paste because it makes the movie utterly predictable.

Lol, at all the Will Smith as genie memes.

My favorite so far is that he's being racist against Smurfs for wearing "Blue face."

I think in hindsight it seems that it would have been better just to totally CG the animation for the genie and get someone to voice it. That's something that I could forgive dong all CGI for.

I just saw this and saw the genie. El oh El. What were they thinking?

Make the damn genie CGI or some shit.

I honestly can't believe that they went with such an awful version of Genie. Jeez, Will Smith has been on a huge losing streak following After Earth. I think his only recent good film was the one where he was a master con artist (I could Google the film's name, but I don't feel like it)

Does not look that appealing. Will Smith is catching a lot of flak. I will still see it butthe best Disney cartoon growing up was the LK.

Will Smith is clearly wearing blue face. I'm offended. Legit feelings have been impacted.

So you see movies that you admit don't appeal to you?

#bandwagonboi I see a lot of movies and I trust the brand. It looks alright but it is just a preview. I am also able to see movies at my leisure. I have money to burn.

Will Smith is appropriating Djinn culture and that's NOT OKAY.

LOL, you "trust the brand", because that Beauty and The Beast remake worked out so well, right? And lol, you say you see shitty movies at your leisure but claim I have bad taste. Stop projecting onto me, bandwagon boi.

Stop projecting onto me, bandwagon boi. I saw that it was ok. I see many films. I saw mortal engines and knew it was going to most likely be ok at best. I see all kinds of films. I make judgments based on the brand, Director, and trailer but I am open minded enough to see the final product if it is in a genre I love fantasy. You need to relax Ivan afford to see everything that comes out and then some.

The Beauty and the Beast remake was good lmao. It stayed very true to the original cartoon.

Bump.

The new trailer was actually decent. The Jafar casting is brutal, but when the "A Whole New World" sequence kicks in, you can't help but feel the hype.

JcMtWwiyzpU


Surprisingly excited for it after feeling like it would be awful.

Yeah, the new trailer is fine. I mean, it looks like fun.

I just hate musicals. As soon as the musical numbers came in on the trailer I was done. Nope, nope.

It's pretty decent this trailer

The complaints about Will Smith is not being the same Genie as Robin Williams and that's why persons are hating are really freakin dumb and lame.
It's a freakin remake the whole damn point do something different don't be the same damn thing.

Maybe this version answer why is Aladdin's mother absent.

This looks wonderful including the Whole new world song and sing, the carpet, the do you trust me line and song, also Jafar knowing that Aladdin wants to impress a Princess before the lamp is acquired not something that animated version has, etc.

It's reusing scenes and lines from the 90s Animated Disney Aladdin movie except still going to be something different.

Wonderful, wonderful, no doubt the best live action adaptation of Disney movies so far.

Both Aladdin and Jasmine got enough development and great chemistry, it was one more step forward on Jasmine's character. I didn't see much from others, even B&B there wasn't enough chemistry between the two.

I have yet to see this. Maybe I should get around to it.

The only problem probably is Jafar's cast. They should have used Ben Kingsley

A woman sultan. Here comes the jihad for this great insult.


And if Jasmin is Sultan, what does that make Aladdin? Does he even have a title, or any real power?

Anyways..

It was alright. Casting was good, Will Smith was great as always. It was a damn near perfect live action recreation of the animated film.



And that's the problem. It doesn't really bring anything new to the table. It's a well done retreading, and that's all it is.



Because of this, it brings all the same problems the original had. Like Aladdin's friendship with the genie. The fact is, Genie had NO reason to care for the fate of Aladdin, Jasmin, or really much of anyone, as deeply as he did. He barely knew Aladdin, and only knows him from his petty desires, and yet he cares if this clown ends up drowning as a result of his own hubris?


Maybe if the remake did more to flesh out the relationship between genie and master, and gave us a window into what this genie saw in the boy. But, it didn't. Genie cares about Aladdin because genie in the first movie did, and that's supposed to be good enough. Even if it makes about as much sense as Anakin Skywalker and Padme's romance, which made no sense at all, based on the things we've seen about them.

100% from me. I loved it.

It's getting a sequel now!

Let's have Mozenrath! Let Adam Driver play him!
