[quote="imekitty"]This trailer makes me a tad more optimistic. But I thought Mena's singing was awful. I hope maybe it'll sound better in the actual movie![/quote]

That part made me rise an eyebrow. I get that they probably tried to show Aladdin's side where he tries to be someone else in his prince attire (as he finds himself unworthy and worthless), but I hope they won't go too far. <br /> <br />Outside of that little part though, I didn't find Aladdin bad here. I find Jafar way worse as he has literally nothing. No power, no charisma, nothing. He's just so bland. Just amazes me how we didn't get Ben Kingsly who already played a Jafar-like character in the 2010 Prince of Persia. Seriously, he would nail that role. <br /> <br />Plus let's face it, this Genie won't be the same Genie we knew from the original. From what I see Will smith is just playing himself, which is a bit off-putting for me, especially with the design choice they went for him. Disney clearly tries to show that this is Will Smith. <br /> <br />My issue with him is not even that he's not Robin Williams as honestly I would have loved to see Jim Carrey as Genie here (I think he has similar energy like Robin did and could pull off the serious side as well), I just personally don't find Will Smith fitting for this role. Mind you I liked his older movies such as MIB, but lately I just don't find him that good, especially for such an iconic role as Genie. I want to see the character, not Will Smith turning the character into himself, simple as that. <br /> <br />Now I don't deny that Will Smith will give at least a decent performance and will probably be the show stealer, but I'm personally disappointed how I don't see the character when I look at the film because they made it damn sure we recognise Will Smith in asap.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Mirage</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed Mar 13, 2019 8:09 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Yes but Aladdin is not supposed to be cocky and say things like 'I'm in charge".
