Jasmine- why she's not the Perfect Model

I was disappointed in the movie because of how Disney seems to be forcing feminist roles upon all the women stars. Not every girl is a feminist,(I am not) and after seeing them change Bo Peep, from 'Ms. Peep', to a karate type, unfeminine character, I was again disappointed with Disney's new Aladdin, because of the way they portray Jasmine. When I saw the original Aladdin as a younger child, I LOVED Jasmine. I wanted to be her, and I walked away from the screen feeling like I was her. After that, my bed became a magic carpet for a while afterwards. Not so with this movie. Jasmine let's everyone know what she thinks even when it isn't appropriate for her to say so. She cares more about getting the power to do what she wants, then trying to use it to help her subjects. She is constantly selfish, and cares more about herself than Aladdin, (or anyone else.) Plus, she has more than Aladdin ever dreamed of owning, and is still ungrateful. Even if she is forced to marry someone she doesn't love, she is no different from any other girl of her time. The song she sings does not fit in with the rest of the songs in the movie, and she doesn't seem like a happy character, even when she is with Aladdin. Otherwise, I felt that the rest of the Characters were portrayed pretty well.

Aladdin

Aladdin 2019 is the best Disney live action movie and here’s why. Disney has a pretty bad reputation with live action/remakes of their classic or old movies. They’ve had some movies that did very well at the box office and movies that did not. The two that did the worst at the box office were Dumbo 2019 and Pete’s Dragon 2016. These movies have heavily brought down Disney’s money flow that they usually get in the theater. One of the reasons that this is is because Dumbo may have a popular title but you can’t make A action fun adventure movie from a 80 minute 80s movie. Aladdin the original has pretty dated references and themes to the movie, Disney stores heroically upward and changes them. This movie introduces an amazing actress Naomi Scott to the silver screen. She for me is what carries this movie as a whole. Not only is she a phenomenal actor, but she is also a stunning singer. She delivers eight fantastic hit song called speechless that is not in the original film. This song shows women empowerment which is some thing in my opinion that the original was missing. By the way make sure to stay during the credits. Will smith and DJ Khaled rap over a friend like me originally sang by Robin Williams. What you should take away from this review is that this is a fun all ages movie that you can enjoy with your child. Watch Aladdin 2019 on Disney+.

My favorite movie

I love this movie! There is lots of great music, and by the 5th time watching I memorized all the songs. The story line is fun and the set is very colorful! There are a few scary parts for younger kids that can easily be skiped. Also a few sences where Princess Jasmine dress is a little showy.

THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best movie in the world! It's funny and sweet. There is nothing inappropriate in it. I think people under 8 or 9 would be a little confused.

Fabulous!!

I adore this movie!! It is the culmination of Disney magic, storytelling, acting, authenticity, and creativity. It contains a few differences from the original Aladdin, and I think the changes it made are PERFECT. Although Will Smith is not the same as Robin Williams, he absolutely nailed his role and brought so much fun to the movie. The music, costumes, and dancing are on-point as well. It has a few scary/high intensity moments that may not sit well with little kids, but practically no sexual content, language, or anything else of concern to parents. So it's not for the most sensitive kids, but it's certainly a fun family movie that tells a classic story in a new light!

One of the best Disney remakes out there

This movie is one of the best Disney remakes out there; there is everything in this movie: action, humor, good acting, a good plot, etc. I didn't have too much expectations on this movie, but when I saw it I was stunned on how good the movie was! It was such a phenomal hit for me. I've seen this movie more than I count . . . and everytime still leaves me with laughs. The old Aladdin movie is boring, but this Aladdin movie, well, it's amazing!! It just is soo good. A beautifully made Disney movie was one of the best movies I saw that year. It takes me on a breathtaking adventure in one I won't forget too easily. It leads me to wanting more -- an Aladdin 2 movie. Will Smith rocked in this movie; he aced playing Genie. He made a lot of jokes, said a lot of funny dialogue, and just makes the movie 100% better. the other actors also do a great job, but to be honest Will Smith is the bet out of all of them. An adventures ride is for everyone to see -- it has such a good message (one that you've heard before, but Aladdin takes this message in a funny, serious way). It is for sure the 1# movie of 2019. It delivers brilliant performance and magical moments. The songs in here are brilliant and catchy. I would recommended this movie to everyone. It is breathtakingly amazing!!
