Ondanks de hetze rond Will Smiths Genie blijkt Disneys live-action Aladdin-remake al bij al nog mee te vallen. De tweede reeks reacties op sociale media is namelijk net zoals de eerste overwegend positief.

#Aladdin is better than expected. Not the complete disaster critics were expecting, but also not a home run. It’s surprisingly fun. Naomi Scott’s a great Jasmine, but Didn’t love the actor playing Aladdin. The music is better the less it tries to evolve the songs we know.

The pair of them absolutely should have been used in the marketing more. They anchor the whole movie.

Being straight, I didn't have a lot of confidence going into this one but it was far better than I feared it would be. The marketing is doing it no favors. Not perfect by any means, but a very fun ride.

The second #Aladdin started, I began to get choked up. The original is an all-time fave & the remake plays to that nostalgia beautifully. It improves on the original in some ways & is inferior in others but as a long time fan, I truly enjoyed it. It made me feel like a kid again. pic.twitter.com/6VOFGsS001

Will Smith is legit funny for the first two acts, then he kinda disappears and the movie suffers.

He’s not in it near enough, but Billy Magnussen just slays

Not going to lie, was pretty enchanted by @Disney’s #Aladdin. Not a lot else to say besides how delightful I found the whole thing (@ILMVFX knocked it out of the park) and how everyone doubting Will Smith will be eating their words by the end of next week. 🧞‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/y0XMNwKbC5

#Aladdin is a charming crowd-pleaser that keeps getting better, thanks to contagious musical numbers, Will Smith's charisma, and a fantastic Naomi Scott.

Just out of #Aladdin. Not a disaster but v uneven – some of the fistpumpy moments don’t feel earned, and some interesting ideas are a bit undercooked. But Naomi Scott does well, and once the sub-Robin Williams intros are out the way, Will Smith is good fun too
