Aladdin (2019)

PG  (viewed in 3D at theater)

Disney's live action remake.

My biggest fear (Will Smith's Genie) about this remake was my biggest source of entertainment. There were a few (maybe ?) Guy Ritchie-isms, some fast/slow cinematography and that "Thanos" moment, but overall I had a good time.

I enjoyed this movie. What surprised me, after the trailers, was how much that I enjoyed Will Smith's performance in this film. I was more interested in his character's arc than the others in the cast. It was a great cast, but Will Smith was definitely MVP. However, the supporting characters, whether human or CGI, all had their moments. Who knew that Jafar had a backstory which led him to where we see him now. Due to scheduling (mine), the only performance I could see was 3D. Maybe it was the movie theater's tech, but I felt that the 3D cost did not transfer to superior viewing quality.
