Aladdin

It's fine... A very straightforward, big spectacle musical.

It's bizarre in a way that's sometimes funny-bad and sometimes just bad-bad.

Everything about Aladdin is big, and yet feels small at the same time. Its lavish production design and costuming also has the effect of looking more like a stage production than an epic movie.

Massoud's parkour-practising Aladdin and Naomi Scott's glass-ceiling-smashing Princess Jasmine aren't really allowed space to develop readings of the roles when Smith is due to pop out of a lamp at any moment to murder a song or flog a comedy routine

Disney's remake of Aladdin features human actors and digital creatures, but don't call it "live-action." Maladroit and overlong, its resting state is moribund.

Aladdin wasn't perfect, but nothing will ever live up to the classic '92 version. Still, if you have a kiddo, or if you're still a big kid at heart, we certainly recommend it.

A fully computer-animated Abu is the first of many changes that furnish a hint of phoniness in a world that now demands a greater suspension of disbelief.

Visually, this is a stunning feat along with incredible action stunts and choreography.

Aladdin is much like its protagonist; flawed, a little clumsy, but ultimately quite winning; a diamond in the rough.

It is nonsense that tests my patience quota for two eternally boring hours. [Full review in Spanish]
