As soon as this live action version of Aladdin was first announced, I was beyond excited as I have many fond memories of watching and re watching the original animated version of it during my childhood. The movie is somewhat different to what we might be expecting. Mena Massoud as Aladdin & Naomi Scott as Jasmine did a decent job. Will Smith as Genie was amazing. The cinematography and animation in the movie were commendable. Although there were just too many songs which made it a bit boring. All in all, Aladdin is certainly an entertaining effort and would recommend the Disney fans out there to relive your childhood again.
