I went into this movie feeling a little marvel drained but this one caught me off guard.

I quite liked the storyline and although at times it was predictable the pacing was good, the villians were great and I liked the character building of all the characters except Calypso (needs more).

I think the movie deserves more recognition than it's getting- for me it was the perfect blockbuster to start the holiday season.

Also, be mindful it is quite gruesome at times so I wouldn't recommend watching this one with the fam.

Worth a watch for sure- just go in with the mindset of what its meant to be. It's not made to be some intense, change-your-life storytelling. Just some good ol' fun cinema.

I was so close to not seeing this movie because of the reviews on here, but decided to go nonetheless and I'm so glad I did. It definitely wasn't a slow movie like some indicated and I enjoyed it. It had the right amount of action and drama. Some scenes you noticed the CGI, I think it was done really well and a great action packed movie to see. Ignore the haters and see it for yourself.

I wasn't too sure about the casting of the characters for Aladdin, but every character was perfect and I loved Will Smiths take on the genie. It would not have felt right to try and do it too much like Robin Williams genie, Will Smith was his own kind of genie which truly made the movie shine. I liked that they stuck to the original songs and storyline but changed it slightly so it really would feel like a movie on its on and not just a copy.

I honestly didn't expect much and with Aladdin being my favourite movie growing up I didn't think it could be redone, but this movie was great and I enjoyed it a lot. My daughters also thought it was brilliant! Well done to everyone who worked on it, it was done magically!
