MindFreak Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 It truly looks awful. Jafar is miscast by far, not menacing at all, and the acting seems off. The CGI is good, though, and I enjoyed the "Make me a prince" humour.

bob Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 What's not to like?Aladdin songs? Goooood!Naomi Scott? Goooood!Creepy Will Smith genie? Goooooood!
MindFreak Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Wow! That was unimpressive. Doesn't really seem to bring anything new to the table, and there wasn't really anything funny in the trailer.

MindFreak Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 New trailer for The Lion King It looks really good but to me, it's lost a lot of its original charm. 1
EEVILMURRAY Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Scar isn't sinister at all. They've sacrificed obvious villianhood for realism, but they haven't compensated for that. Scar just looks like another lion with a less imposing voice than James Earl Jones, a hard feat yes, but Jeremy Irons had that gravitas, Chiwetel Ejiofor does not. 2
Ronnie Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Funny how the most dynamic and over the top scene in the film can seem so lifeless here 2
Dcubed Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 This is just depressing to watch. Truly tragic. At least we'll always have the originals.
BowserBasher Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Oh dear. What have they done. I wanted to give Will Smith a chance but that didn’t have the charm at all of the original. Where’s all the fun little genie moments from the original? let’s just watch this for the greatness that was Robin Williams 1
Dog-amoto Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Not really sold on this. But it still looks better than Toy Story 4.
MindFreak Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 I think it looks alright. Nothing special, but it's a fun idea. Not worth going to the cinema for, though.

bob Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Saw Aladdin last night. I thought it was fantastic, really enjoyed it. Glad they made a few changes here and there to mix it up a bit, as the doesn't seem much point in copying the old film entirely. Most of the changes were positive, with a few odd choices. Will Smith was great, as were the rest of the cast, although I still think Jafar was miscast. Not that the actor couldn't act, but he really needed to be older. At one point, Jafar mentions that he spent 5 years of his life in jail, and you're looking at him like "Really? What is that, like a quarter of your life?" 1

At one point, Jafar mentions that he spent 5 years of his life in jail, and you're looking at him like "Really? What is that, like a quarter of your life?" YES! Thank you! It's the best live-action movie Disney have done. I absolutely loved it and I'll happily take back everything bad I said. I thought it was going to be a bit crap or average at best but the trailer didn't do the film justice. Naomi Scott was fantastic as Jasmine and Aladdin and Genie worked perfectly too. Will Smith was brilliant as the Genie and you could tell he really tried (and succeeded) to bring his own version rather than rip off Robin Williams. He never tried to do any pop culture or celebrity references but he managed to make his character his own portrayal and I really appreciated that. I also loved Iago too. He was strangely more mischevious even though he didn't exactly act human. Jafar was a bit of a miscast however I didn't mind him too much. The animated Jafar was slightly more pervy whereas this one was extremely hungry for power and strength over everyone. One of the better parts of the film was Dahlia as well. Loved her. Seriously, the film is great and I can't wait to buy it on blu-ray! The Lion King looks amazing. I'm kind of waiting for Toy Story to end now. Don't get me wrong, I love Toy Story but 3 ended it perfectly. I get the need to show where Bo Peep was because it was something I was wondering throughout the third film but 4 needs to be the last one now otherwise they're going to completely ruin what is a flawless movie series.
Dog-amoto Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Toy Story 4 was enjoyable. Still thought it was a bit of an unnecessary sequel as Toy Story 3 ended perfectly, but happy to say that my initial reservations were way off the mark and it gets a glowing recommendation. Both me and my 4 year old were in hysterics at some of the jokes. I also read something on Twitter that said the doll, Gabby Gabby had more character development in two hours than the entire cast did in s8 of Game of Thrones

Not sure what some of these Throne fisters were expecting when there were at least 2 wars to fight and it being the last season.

MindFreak Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 People are complainging about the lack of Mushu in the trailer. It's odd to leave him out of it, I agree, but I expect the next trailer to include him. But yeah, it does actually look a like a good movie. 1

I don’t know if they are including him, but just from the look of this trailer they seem to be going for a more mature feel. I love the feel of the trailer and would have no worries if they left him out. I haven’t seen the film for a while so can’t remember how it might work without Mushu.
