“Aladdin” skuffer ikke de nordamerikanske anmeldere.
Disney-året begyndte med et live-action-remake af “Dumbo” – nu fortsætter det i denne uge med “Aladdin”.
De første reaktioner fra de amerikanske journalister er overvejende positive, hvor særligt Naomi Scott som Jasmin fremhæves, hvilket også gælder Will Smith som Genie.
Flere af anmelderne skriver dog også i deres første reaktion, at de ikke havde store forventninger på forhånd efter Disney-kampagnen for “Aladdin”.
Blandt andet har farven på Will Smith som Genie været heftigt diskuteret – læs om det her.
“Aladdin” får dansk premiere d. 23. maj.
#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.

#Aladdin is going to be an instant childhood classic for a whole lot of kids. @MenaMassoud and @NaomiScott are utterly delightful together. Massoud has Aladdin's trademark cheeky charm for days.

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

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 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
