Review
One of the classic adventures is
reimagined – or rehashed – with an unabashed and boisterously
Disneyesque treatment. It all starts quite well, and during the
intro, in which we follow the young street kid Aladdin around town,
that wanted sense of wonder is touched upon. Nice set decorations
and cinematography encompasses Mena Massoud's charming rendition of
the young would-be prince. But as the film moves into CGI territory,
it gets noisier and more hung-up with itself and its own supposed
grandness. The story itself is fine, the reinterpretation lacks
inspiration. The reused songs are fine, the new ones are dull. And
Naomi Scott's rendition of Jasmine is far too contemporary to be
able to stand the test of time that will come. This is a classic
story in a bit too obvious 2019 apparel.
