ALADDIN (2019) Visual Review

A thrilling and vibrant live-action adaptation of Disney’s animated classic, “Aladdin” is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future. Directed by Guy Ritchie, who brings his singular flair for fast-paced, visceral action to the fictitious port city of Agrabah, “Aladdin” is written by John August and Ritchie based on Disney’s “Aladdin.” The film stars Will Smith as the Genie; Mena Massoud as Aladdin; Naomi Scott as Jasmine; Marwan Kenzari as Jafar; Navid Negahban as the Sultan; Nasim Pedrad as Dalia and Billy Magnussen as Prince Anders.

Here is my visual review done in an original visual style with several graphics that work you through the film.

The upgrades in Aladdin are mostly cosmetic, and the story is retold without any major changes or surprises. And it feels fresh. A good story always works no matter how many times it is retold. So, what would you wish for if you had an Aladdin’s lamp? Please ponder that while you enjoy the film.
