ALADDIN [4K UHD]

This movie was so much fun. The songs and dancing were all entertaining as heck. The characters all got fleshed out more and given actual personalities beyond their One Defining Trait. The visual effects for the magic were, well, magical. The comedy was just right to fit with the overall feel of the movie. The actors' performances were all spot on. Everyone felt like the character they were portraying but also didn't feel like cheap copies of the originals. There's a sense that there's more going on with the characters than just what the plot calls for from them. (SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't seen the original) The relationships between all the characters were so much more believable. You can see why Genie and Aladdin would become friends. You can see how Aladdin and Jasmine fall for each other. You can see why the Sultan would have bought into Jafar's BS even when the staff hypnotism isn't being used. Also, Iago was given a more realistic bird personality which not only fit in with the rest of the movie better, but also gave him room to be more than just another chance to throw in a joke or gag. The original animated Aladdin movie was great, but I wouldn't hesitate to pick this live action version as my favorite of the two. It's simply a better movie with better character portrayals, a better storyline, and better musical performances, IMO.

Didn’t really like but not a bad movie to watch!

The new live-action Aladdin movie is packed with colorful visuals and is a real treat to watch. Will Smith CRUSHES IT as the genie and is a superb lead; he's one of my favorite actors and really shines in bringing the genie to life. Will, I'm sure you & the cast and crew worked hard on this one, and it shows. props. He brings his own epic cool flava to the iconic role and makes it funny, human, memorable and Disney-magic. 10/10 update 9/12: I've watched this three times in less than two weeks and really enjoy it. Brilliant special effects for the Genie; world-class visual effects; especially the swirling cloud at bottom of genie + face work w/cgi; totally sells the shots, isn't obvious; blends perfectly; masterful compositing. cgi for the lion & abu is wonderful; I predict an Oscar for best special effects; they were some of the best work I've seen. Set design was amazing; and truly great costumes (the ending sequence was hollywood classic big-screen style & terrific). Choreography for dance numbers was tight, stylish and original; well done. Intro 'Friend Like Me' with Will is a legendary win; the singing, effects & 'sparkle' makes it easily the top song. Naomi looks great; she's graceful & strong. ... um and the other actors were ok, too. I liked the Aladdin actor, and the handmaiden was hilarious & a big plus for the movie; more of her & Will would've been great. Their dialogue for their first date was fun & well-written & acted, at the doorway. Plus she has great comedic timing for her lines, and she's funny; good casting. Casting could've been better for other characters imho. fwiw the character actors at Disneyland Anaheim who portayed Aladdin & Jasmine (many years ago) in person looked a lot more like the original movie's version. - the Jafar actor was not sinister/foreboding/tall like original movie. . At least the camera should've been a low-angle up to give impression of height; that's a DP/director miss. His voice is not deep or sinister enough. Movies are only as great as their heroes & villians. - Imagine if Dwayne Johnson played Jafar instead; this movie would've been So much better. - Jasmine actress Naomi was good; would've liked more curves & sass, like original. But why did they censor/change her outfit vs original so much? In the animated version she wore a tank top showing shoulders, in this one she's all covered up. And she's written Not as a typical princess but more an independent smart modern woman in ancient times; misses the mark from a character standpoint a bit. I will concede though that this princess portrayal is much better as a role model for today's generation of girls vs classic helpless princesses; I support that; I 'get it' re modernizing princess. Naomi's acting is well done; I like her confidence plus she looks great. - the other actor playing her suitor; hmm a caucasian prince courting arabian princess in ancient times is not realistic. good comic relief though. It's Will's movie and he *really* brings it. (btw it would be great to interview you by phone for yt vid for my traders if you're interested, longtime fan since fresh prince days) A worthy family-fun film that's simply spectacular; one of the year's best. Ken Calhoun, founder TradeMastery p.s. Will Smith is great - epic fun and he's why i'll watch this movie a few times, super-fun & enjoyable. Overall a big winner. Grade A movie thx to Will, without him in it the movie would be a c+. True star power from Will brings this classic remake to life. Brilliantly done. (-mic drop-)

The product needs more refinement. Concept is there but execution is lacking. Maybe next version will be better. My honest review.

After seeing the trailers I wasn't really excited for this movie. Even though as a kid Aladdin was one of our household Disney favorites among my family, and we watched it many times, the remake looked merely "okay" according to the trailers. So I waited for the digital rental to give it a shot for old times sake. I was PLEASANTLY surprised at how well it was redone into a live action movie. I see a lot of complaints about Will Smith not being as good as Robin Williams as the genie... And I kinda felt that way up until towards the end. The reality is that Will did an incredible job overall, and that it's kinda unfair to compare. After all this movie isn't about getting a better actor to play the genie, it's about allowing an entire new generation of people to experience the magic, the music, the wonder and the inspiration of the tale of Aladdin. And I believe that this movie helped execute that in ways that a brand new audience could be thrilled by. And even for those of us who have seen the original cartoon version, if you take off your "comparison" glasses and just enjoy the new version of the "tale of Aladdin", I think many can also find this new version to be quite captivating. Overall probably one of the best Disney remakes so far, and I hope they do many more! Sincerely, a 35 year old male who used to love Disney movies as a kid, and just simply enjoyed reliving a glimpse of that childhood again but in a new way :)

Good Movie

Got for the great grandchildren

Loved this movie. Easy to watch. Everything about it was great. Would recommend would buy again.

Aladdin l'ennesimo prodotto della Disney che continua nella sua opera di cannibalizzazione del cinema americano, è tratto dalla favola di Mille e una Notte e prende spunto dal precedente film di animazione del 1992. Tecnicamente è definito un film di live-action che in teoria dovrebbe designare solo film con attori in carne ossa ma che viene adesso indicato per i film in cui c'é anche la presenza dell'animazione e che traggono l'ispirazione da film di animazione. E' un film fantastico e musicale ispirato a un medioevo di un paese d'Oriente. La storia è arcinota: Aladino (Mena Massoud attore canadese di origine egiziana) un giovane che vive d'aspedienti in una grande città, s'innamora della figlia del Sultano Jasmine (Naomi Scott attrice inglese con un modesto curriculum cinematografico e televisivo), il perfido Jafar (Marwan Kezari) Visir del sultano che vuole detronizzarlo, induce Aladino che è "un prescelto" ad entrare nella grotta per impadronirsi di una lampada magica, Aladino ci riesce e Jafar non riesce a impadronirsi della lampada che Aladino inavvertitamente strofina ed esce il "Genio" (Will Smith) che gli propone di esaudire 3 desideri. Aladdin è l'ennesima copia carbone del classico animato strutturata esattamente secondo le medesime coordinate dei progetti precedenti: coccolare il pubblico con i brani musicali e le sequenze che hanno lasciato il segno anni fa, allungare la storia con una maggiore introspezione dei protagonisti, rendere più umani i villain e puntare la comunicazione sul nome di un grande divo (in questo caso Will Smith) in grado di suscitare simpatia e ilarità. Non avevamo dunque bisogno di un altro remake live-action di un classico Disney, ma la versione diretta da Guy Ritchie, al netto di qualche difetto (tipo Jafar), va giù bene. Come il senso di precarietà che si prova la prima volta su un tappeto volante, Aladdin è continuamente in bilico tra la possibilità di una visione godibile e una ventata amatoriale che ricorda più un rifacimento scolastico che una produzione da milioni di dollari.

日本語字幕がついていなかった。お金の無駄になった。何語の字幕がついているか書いて欲しかった。到着予定日も結構過ぎていた。楽しみにしていたのに。もう買いません

Bon film

Excellent, a part trop de chansons. Le film en lui même est divertissant

E' uno di quei 4 titoli che si salvano all'anno proprio un bel film per tutti, Will Smith che impersona Aladdin è molto bravo, il film è spassoso e coinvolgente per le oltre due ore di durata, la storia scorre bene senza sorprese, gli effetti visivi sono eccezionali e precisi (LucasFilm) è una garanzia, il video risulta un po' scuro, l'audio ai massimi livelli ma purtroppo in Italiano in semplice Dolby Digital 5.1 contro il il 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos oppure Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 in Inglese! questo è l'aspetto negativo, ma tanto è così da tempo, l'audio originale è uno spettacolo per l'ambienza riprodotta almeno in 7.1 canali, si soddisfatto.
