I watched the movie at Vue Bromley which I highly recommend besides the cinemas at Leicester Square.The place is clean and not crowded plus the price is more affordable with recliner seats.👍🏻
Anyway, I enjoyed the film so much! It gave me goosebumps all throughout and believe me, it ain’t just a magic carpet ride that you’ll have to watch out for❤️ The scenes are all colorful and the dialogues are perfectly captured from the animation!Though there are new spills/side stories on the live action version such as:
1. Jasmine wanted to be the sultan of Agrabah which heightens her girl power attitude in the story. Naomi Scott portrayed her very well with all the singing and dancing—she performed better than Mena Massoud in my opinion. But I do find him handsome.
2. Genie’s love affair with Jasmine’s chaperone,Dahlia. These two have their own quirky moments which ends up them telling their children in the beginning about the protagonist. Whatta twist!
3. It’s too pressed that Aladdin is a ‘thief-ly’ hero.Haha.Sobrang pa-pogi points kay Jasmine that he would steal her accessories just so he could gain access to the kingdom.Grabe naman :))
At some point, I was expecting for Jafar to transform into a snake yet it didn’t happened however, it still have the same ending of how he vanished. Will they create a live action for “The Return of Jafar”?! If so,I hope Guy Ritchie directs it again! In addition to that, who wouldn’t like the scenes of the Genie?! I adore how Will Smith brought out his “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” spirit in it.As iiiin sobrang nakakatuwa sya! (“Fresh Prince...” was his 80s-90s sitcom) The cartoon character was really hard to imitate but he still managed to make it hilarious.Ang galing! From “Friend Like Me” to “Prince Alli”,the laughtrip is endless.
And lastly, the magic carpet scene—truly shining,shimmering,splendid!❤️ Watching it might make you sing along to “A whole new wooooooorld...”
Overall,this has been one of the best Disney live action films I’ve ever seen next to “Beauty and The Beast”. I love it that both films did not alter much of the original animation.
So if you were to asked 3 wishes,what would it be? ;)
