Aladdin (3D)
Director Guy Richie’s live-action musical fantasy remake of Disney’s 1992 animated classic comes to the big screen with Will Smith starring as the Genie. Robin Williams’ voice performance in the Disney original was a fantastic one-of-a-kind experience but “Big Willie” puts his own spin the character & does an incredible job because he is an amazing actor, comedian, & rapper. It’s the classic Indian folktale about a street urchin/thief, a princess, a sultan, an evil advisor, a monkey, a magic lamp, & a flying carpet. It’s one man’s obsession with power, 2 people trapped in their worlds, & 2 love stories all rolled into one. The film has wonderful song & dance numbers, beautiful sets & costumes, & stunning special effects. Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott) is a strong female role model. Look for some Disney humor. The big Disney machine has worked its magic & has created another family fun winner. My one gripe is that the screen images frequently felt dark, but that might have been a byproduct of viewing thru the RealD 3D glasses.
Alien gives it 3½ “be careful what you wish for” stars out of 4.
