Uit de eerste reacties van de pers blijkt dat Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin niet zo rampzalig is als de respons op Will Smiths Genie lieten vermoeden.

Smith wordt zelfs geprezen en de film wordt op Pete’s Dragon na de beste live-action remake van een Disney-animatieklassieker genoemd.

Een greep uit de reacties:

#Aladdin Thoughts: A lavish and enjoyable retelling, but not enough of A Whole New World to fully succeed.

Mena Massoud/Naomi Scott are great, while Will Smith brings a fun energy to his take on the Genie, even if the CGI lets him down. The less said about Jafar, the better 😬 pic.twitter.com/LTJfkVZKYn

Can confirm that the majority of your concerns about #Aladdin, especially anything Will Smith-related, will vanish once that first big song kicks in, but my pick for MVP has got to be @BillyMagnussen! He might just be a comedy genius in waiting. pic.twitter.com/0rMs5S0axn

I just watched the new #Aladdin movie and it is amazing! It was so good that I forgot my roza had opened 🤷🏽‍♂️. Also if Sanjay Leela Bhansali ever made a Disney film, it would be this! I felt like I was watching a cross between Ram Leela/Bajirao Mastani but without people dying. 😂 pic.twitter.com/lI7IfeLCJU
