Disney's Aladdin live-action remake is surprisingly good! 1 / 10

Yes, Will Smith's Genie looks... bizarre, but he brings a likable charm. 2 / 10

Jasmine is also given a more fleshed out, deeper backstory. 3 / 10

When it all comes together, it has some of the best moments in a Disney remake. 4 / 10

But it also has some of the worst, settling for boring recreations of old moments. 5 / 10

The worst moments feels like the hollow reskins of Beauty and the Beast or Alice in Wonderland. 6 / 10

Within seconds, the movie will jump from a great, new addition to the story. 7 / 10

To Will Smith's rather unfortunate Robin Williams impression. 8 / 10

If Disney really wants to make these remakes work, they need to be bold and trust their directors. 9 / 10

Maybe Jon Favreau will make The Lion King sing, who knows? 10 / 10
