Fantasy Guy Ritchie Directing Disney's Aladdin

[Spider-Aziz]

That's a disappointing drop.

The general consensus seems to be that the movie is okay but doesn't hold a candle to the original. Just like Beauty and the Beast.

I really hope Disney puts more effort into Mulan.

I really hope Disney puts more effort into Mulan.

With a rumored 300 million dollar budget? I’d be surprised if they don’t. Looks like that will be a Chinese action epic on a grand scale - and with no musical numbers.

Seems the remakes brings out the flaws that we normally ignore when watching a animated movie

Oh well still seeing it

The soundtrack is really good been listening to it today. Will sounds great I really dig his version of Friend Like Me. It’s familiar but also fresh and new. What’s the actors name that plays Aladdin again? I think he sounded pretty good on One Jump Ahead. A Whole New World is great and Speechless is awesome. Naomi can really sing

It is no longer fresh at this moment!

Geez. I was here an hour ago and left to run some errands when this thing was in the 60s. Now it's already sub 60?

Eh, that's true, but money isn't everything. I can think of quite a few high budget films that weren't good.

And unfortunately the director herself confirmed that the movie will have musical numbers. We'll see.

Reviews have come quickly on this one. It's constantly changing today.

Yeah, I'm enjoying it as well. I think Naomi and Will are the standouts, Aladdin (Mena Massoud) is good... not the greatest.... but good. I'm really loving "Arabian Nights"

I think it is safe to say that it is going to hover around the rotten line today.

I agree, this seems like it will hover

Film was screened last night and review embargo was lifted today.

Movie was very mediocre IMO. The new Jasmine songs don't work and don't fit in at all.

$300m? Wow!!

How was it compared to BatB for you?

I mean, duh! Why else would I have RT scores to post

I would have sworn she said the opposite: that was what John Campea said on his show, and it was what I remembered hearing too - that the songs won’t be there, but the music will be similar.

And yet people still sound surprised.

Worse.

I know, right? Quickest drop from 80s to 50s for a single movie.

I wish the score was higher, but as the case has been for years with my relationship to this figure (sans the decimal point) is

Does Iago do anything aside from the climax? Does he just mimic or is he carrying on conversations?

Iago is a regular parrot who has a slightly larger vocabulary than other mimicking parrots. He doesn't converse like a human.

Iago does act as Jafar's spy and keeps an eye on things going on in the palace.

The people who were at the earlier screenings more than likely were much kinder.
