STARRING: WILL SMITH, MENA MASSAOUD, NAOMI SCOTT
Aladdin is a remake from the 1992 Disney Animated film; Guy Ritchie brings this film to life. Aladdin (Mena Massoud) is a young street bandit who meets Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott) who he wants marry but is unable to marry, her until he stumbles across a lamp & the Genie (Will Smith) that can grant him a wish to become a Prince so that he can marry Princess Jasmine. Not everything goes as planned as the lamp gets into the wrong hands and Aladdin has to decide who he truly wants to be.
The acting was superb, Mena Massoud & Naomi Scott played the role of Aladdin & Jasmine as well as you could possibly play it; they completely brought back the nostalgic magic from the original film. Will Smith is Legend and he keeps up with his track record, great role played by him. The special effects were amazing, prior to seeing this film I thought it would be difficult to bring this cartoon to life but they were able to surpass my expectations. The plot stayed the course of the original but it was extremely entertaining I found myself forgetting what was going to happen lol. A great family adventure with a good message for Today.
