I mean, I’m going to go see it…
I mean … good for you.
You’ll regret it.
Will has destroyed an iconic character by looking like … Will (sigh).
And if it ends up being a good movie, I’m going to haunt you in your dreams until you make amends for your transgressions.
Thank you, next.
Anyone else notices how Will Smith plays himself in EVERY role ???
Why do y’all even consider him an actor at this point???
(Sigh)
And it continues to look dumb AF !
This is going to be sooooo iconic. I’m so excited! Will Smith is so perfect for this role!!
That looks like a HUGE FLOP.
Will Smith killed it in a bad way.
i’m not a fan of all these disney live action remakes.
there are a gazillion stories to be told, why keep remaking the same ones?
Yeah this is total foolery, Will Smith as the genie wtf!? I mean I wouldn’t have mind his voice on a cgi. But looking at his dumbo ears covered in blue paint… this is just another live action smurf movie meets that national treasure.
Not a fan of these live action remakes. It looked better as a cartoon. And honestly, none of these actors catched me. So, won‘t be watching it.
Y’all worried about Will and the biggest disappointment to me is Jafar! I respect the fact that Will isn’t TRYING to be or replace Robin Williams (could never happen) and he’s bringing a different element. BUT JAFAR?! That dude is NO Jafar… Jafar’s voice was reminiscent of Scar’s and this dude is basic af
EXACTLY! He is in no way, shape or form JAFAR!!! AT ALL!!! And can’t convince me different. And Jasmine should be more striking. *sighs* oh well
They are all weak. Aladdin misses the IT factor, jasmine is pretty but looks quite boring and jafar is nonexistent
The film appears to be miscast from top to bottom. None of the actors show charisma. Will singing “Friend Like Me” was so so wrong.
