Disney is really losing its magic with the majority of these pointless live action remakes. WHY are they tampering with the classics? Cinderella, Jungle Book and (distantly) Beauty and the Beast are the only semi-worthy contenders. This version of Aladdin is visually stunning, no doubt, but the acting is BAD. Really, really bad. The actors are wooden and amateurish, like a freshman drama class with no range or experience. Even the usually charming Will Smith is lacking. And Jafar should be older, more intense and menacing. This guy is like an A Team villain. Save yourself 2 hours and watch the original or, if you have the opportunity, see the stage adaptation. This version is TERRIBLE.
