Official Disney Aladdin Live Action Thread

I read the synopsis on Wikipedia and listened to the soundtrack on Spotify ..

Not feeling them giving Genie a love interest, he's suppose to go off to explore the earth now that he's free. The Speechless song feels like they made it just so they could get an Oscar nomination.

I like the ending they gave him and how it tied back to the beginning. In a live action remake of a movie i’ve seen a thousand times its good to be surprised by something

Damn Will pawging

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

Worst part the trailer ended up being the best part of the movie

Will Smith was good






First 30 minutes were corny as fukk, was a terrible musical then the movie found its feet

 

[lamont614]

Cool little flick

After seeing most of the Sherlock joints


Guy Ritchie love slow mo


Will was dope especially the ending on the boat




I kind of wish they would have got Eddie Murphy for Wills role or get Eddie Murphy in a live action joint



Also the og version I forgot how abrupt the ending was


I would have liked to see they use some of the cgi money on jafar turning to a snake instead of the parrot turning into parrotzilla

Better than the tracking was looking at least. Still, $87M you'd think Aladdin would do more.

It’s doing a 100 million big willie style back

Disney's 'Aladdin' Soars Over Memorial Day Weekend at the Box Office - Box Office Mojo

Disney's Aladdin topped the weekend with an impressive debut, delivering over $85 million for the three-day and is expected to top $100 million for the four-day, Memorial Day holiday weekend. Meanwhile, fellow newcomers Brightburn and Booksmart finished more in line with studio expectations than Mojo's aggressive pre-weekend forecast and Avengers: Endgame will become only the second film ever to top $800 million at the domestic box office by the end of the long holiday weekend.

With an estimated $86.1 million, Disney's Aladdin topped the Memorial Day three-day weekend box office, besting the three-day opening for the studio's Solo: A Star Wars Story last year. For Disney this is something of a big win considering the studio's live action properties, outside of the Marvel Universe, have struggled for some time now. Disney anticipates the reportedly $180+ million production will top $105 million for the four-day weekend, though others expect that total to go even higher, targeting a four-day debut over $110 million, which would be enough to make it one of the top five Memorial Day opening of all-time. Aladdin received an "A" CinemaScore from opening day audiences while playing to a crowd that was 54% female with 54% of the audience coming in aged 25 or older.

Internationally, Aladdin debuted in every major market except for Japan, where the film will open on June 7, and delivered an estimated $121 million for a global debut topping $207 million for the three-day weekend. The film's top market this weekend was China where it opened with $18.7 million followed by Mexico ($9.2m), UK ($8.4m), Italy ($6.6m), Korea ($6.5m), Russia ($6.4m), Australia ($5.4m), Indonesia ($4.9m), Spain ($4.8m), Brazil ($4.6m), France ($3.8m), Germany ($3.6m) and Philippines ($3.4m).

If Robin Williams was still alive he'd kill himself . When someone so much more talented comes in and kills your role it's over.

well you're the first person I've seen that says Will's genie was actually better

It's not even a comparison. Will smith is a more naturally animated guy. You can tell when people start to move in a goofy or funny way like "OK, time to be funny" will is just natural.

Robin Williams has better voices, well suited for cartoons. But live action wise Will is that guy.

It was actually suprisingly good with The changes made

I'll say this as far as anyone concerned about the genie.

For the most part Robin Williams just played Robin Williams in that role, which isn't a bad thing. Will smith was not will smith trying to play Robin Williams. It was will smith playing the role of a genie. A genie who was comedic and some times wise. It worked just fine.



The reason this reboot failed was mainly cause these actors weren't trying to play detective Carter and Lee. It's because they were trying to play Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan who in turn were embodying those characters. The audience didn't buy it.

Hell there's been 3-4 different spiderman's, batman's, multiple James bonds who are all different actors yet same character. The reasons for the most part they worked was the actors for instance Daniel Craig wasn't pretending to be Pierce Brosnan, he was pretending to be James Bond.

Some actors just aren't good or aren't good for the roles they are in. I.e Ben Affleck as batman. Or maybe even George Clooney.

People are still sad that Robin Williams is dead and living off nostalgia.

 

[BuckFilly]

took my son earlier. I liked it. will smith gay ass found himself in drag. ending was kinda anticlimactic. I think the Iago was just named the parrot. highly recommend it

 

[Kerkum]

One jump, ahead of my...d00m

 

[Sccit]

MOVIE CAME THROUGH... THE ONLY THING I DIDNT LIKE WAS HOW THEY CHANGED UP SOME OF THE STORY AND ADDED A COUPLE FEMINIST DRIVEN SONGS TO APPEASE THE MEETOO LESBIANS .. IT WAS CLEARLY FORCED AND UNNATURAL

Spoiler

SO JASMINE BECOMES THE SULTAN? WTF IS THIS?? I GUESS THAT MEANS ALADDIN IS NOW THE QUEEN?? THE AGENDA IS OFFICIALLY MAKIN ITS WAY INTO DISNEY CLASSICS

EVERY1 KILLED THEIR PART THO AND THE JASMINE BIITCH LOOK LIKE SHE GOT A SWEET PUSY. THE JAFAR DUDE COULDA BEEN MADE TO LOOK A LITTLE MORE EVIL, BUT HE WAS A SOLID ACTOR REGARDLESS.

Spoiler

I ALSO AGREE WIT WHOEVER SAID THEY SHOULDA HAD JAFAR TURN INTO A SNAKE IN THE FINAL ACT INSTEAD OF IAGO TURNIN INTO A PTERODACTYL LOL

WONDER IF THEY SAVIN THAT FOR RETURN OF JAFAR

LMAO ROBIN WILLIAMS ENTIRE CAREER WAS PREDICATED ON BEIN AN ANIMATED GOOFBALL, WTF ARE U GOIN ON ABOUT

 

[NobodyReally]

I actually really enjoyed this. I was worried in the beginning because Will's singing was a bit shaky and I was just like "is this gonna work?" But then it really fell in place. I enjoyed the actress who played Jasmine the most. Her singing was on point and she was beautiful. Aladdin wasn't bad either. I thought Will brought the charisma. Some of his jokes didn't land, but it wasn't often enough to be cringey. It was really hard to pull off such a fantastical story in live action form, but I think they mostly did it. My only complaint was some of the pacing and a few of the songs just weren't sung very well lol. But they nailed the most important songs so it all worked out.

I think I'd give this a 8 out of 10.
