There are only five days left for Aladdin to make its inaugural entry in theaters and critics have already spoken about the remake of the new Disney movie. After the preview of the premiere that has been enjoyed by a few privileged, the first reactions of the film, mostly positive, have not taken long to be voiced to the public.

Twitter has been swamped with publications ranging from the interpretative assessment of the actors to the analysis of the story itself. Alex Leadbeater from Screen Rant has referred to the movie as “fairly good,” adding in his review that the characters are faithful to the original film and that the good atmosphere between them transmits an emotion that captivates the audience.

What has become a  widespread criticism has been the performance of Jafar in the film,  where  Digital Spy has made clear their disappointment with the phrase: “the less you talk about Jafar, the better”. Leadbeater has also given his negative opinion towards the villain.

However, their criticism of the film has been favorable, qualifying it as “luxurious and pleasant” and congratulating Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott on their interpretation. They have also commented that Will Smith creates a “funny energy” with the Genie, even though the CGI of his character is not up to par.

In general, the opinions are quite positive, highlighting above all the funny performance of the genie, Will Smith. Some even admitted that their expectations before watching the film were quite low and that it ended up pleasantly surprising them.

Everything seems to point to the fact that Aladdin’s remake will be a box-office success, but we’ll have to wait until May 24 to check out that talked about chemistry between the Genie and the protagonist, which has made the critics laugh so much.
