Have we ever seen this before? The audience rating actually going up for Aladdin? It is at 94% with over 12,000 verified votes. It is at 91% with over 16,000 votes in general. Insane. I don't think this happened with Endgame or Infinity War.
Yes, I long before said Aladdin is an exceptional movie and will be a TREMENDOUS crowd-pleaser. This is not the important part.
The only other such movie is Alita. Same ratings.
The real question is: how and why the mercenary imbeciles known as "critics" at RT tried to kill these two exceptional movies? People should never forget - and never from now on listen to critics.
Another, smaller observation is that the new "verified" vote at RT is bigger than the old one. That clearly shows Aladdin is review-bombed by vengeful idiots who haven't even seen it. We have seen posts by dozens of such individuals in this very thread.

This was much better than BatB but critics knives were out for it.
some reviews read as if they were written on a blind, before the critic saw the movie.
Because they are.
Half of them are mercenaries - the other half: psychopaths.
Nowadays everyone can have a blog and even a site - and it seems RT welcomes everyone, even the lowliest.

I saw people saying it wouldn't reach 200M lol
LOL, 200m - most posts in this thread were saying it will be lucky to have 60m OW and 130m Dom. total.

Watched the movie and loved it. Had no idea what its RT score was and was absolutely shocked to find out. Of course it's not a masterpiece, but it's good. Naomi Scott and Will Smith are great in the movie and that Mena kid was ok and is charismatic.
Why are the reviews so bad, though? I don't get it. Do they not like Guy Ritchie or something?
No, they are just c*nts.
Explains everything.

Disney poured 100s of millions in this. ^^

Preach!
You heard it from the Shay first!!
(on previous page)
PS: Though, they'll have to write a new script. Scripts of DTV sequels are always abysmal.

I don't believe this. He is pretty bad - and it shows.
BUT - he is quite perfectly cast for the NEW Jafar they have here, that has been changed significantly.
So my answer is: not miscast, so being bad doesn't show too much.

this is possible. doesn't change the fact that I was terrified.
But blue is such a non-threatening colour... If someone should look dangerous - that is Jafar. He looks exactly like a real Arab cutthroat would. (As I said - they changed the character, and he looks the part.)
-
So, what do we have till now:
A spectacular Shay win! All haters are cowering in fear. Aladdin is already on its way to becoming one of the biggest and certainly most loved movies of the year. Nearby smallish lizards will be trampled. A certain Guy is laughing all the way to the bank. With an amazing 130m OW and inevitable Christmas legs, this movie will deliver big time...
What we have from now on:
We are currently entering the Sequel Gambit. How much will the first movie need to make for the Disney suits to greenlight The Return of Jafar? Mind you, they are ever-greedy and trigger-happy...

What the....?
Is this another case of critics getting influenced by the bad buzz prior to a movie's release?
What? No, half of them are just officially idiots. Have you tried reading their "reviews"? They can barely form a coherent thought - and, much worse, they are full of all kinds of inferiority complexes so they snidely attack the movies to feel better about themselves.
With big movies, like most Marvel, the little slimy cowards don't dare oppose the others and are forced to stay in the pack. Also - the herd mentality is very strong with such basic creatures. But any sign of blood in the water (and often they try to create these "controversies" on purpose, out of nothing) - and the keyboard Nazis are out in full force, to prove that they are better than something else, and that they matter, and that they can hurt a movie. All a bunch of delusional lies - but hey, these are why they do what they do in the first place, so they can't just change that.
So yeah, they ARE influenced. But those subject to influence can not be called critics.

I'm glad you said something, 'cause I was falling into "the trap" and thinking about seeing it.
Then I breezed through the new soundtrack again (the vocal parts are bad, and so is generic, forgettable "Speechless") and knew that I would be having huge remorse if I contributed to it's theater run. "It's better than I thought" isn't doesn't qualify. This isn't a decent or good remake of a decent or bad movie - it's a remake of one the best animated films of all time, and my favorite animated film of all time, and a half-ass, cash grab effort just will not cut it for me.
You are totally out of your mind, man. Like: maniacal.
Here, let me try to explain it to you:
1. Suppose your life ends in some 50 years.
2. And then you find out you may be reborn and live another life - you just need to wish for it.
3. But then your stubborn ass says: LOL, no, I don't want another life if it is not exactly the same or better than the one I already had.
4. And so you stay dead - and it is all over. Eternal nothingness.
5. While all the other, sane people get to live again and have fun again.
That is your case.

LOL, you can only read such "reactions" here...
while word on the street is PHENOMENAL!! I read thousands of comments: everyone who's already seen this says it is just as good or BETTER than the animated one!!
Who expected that??!!
So, whatever OW this gets - legs are gonna be crazy and the final success imminent!

I saw it Thursday night, on Previews - which I had never done, because they are like TWICE more expensive than a Friday showing in my country.
The movie was so good that I had to wait till Friday night to see it a second time before commenting...
but I'm still at a loss for words. I laughed a lot (mainly during the first half), I cried a lot (mainly during the second half) - and not a single second was wasted. The movie feels 1 hour long - not 2 hours.
I was right for everything I kept saying all these months:
1. The songs alone are worth seeing this 8 to 10 times. One time for each song, including the credits and the dance pieces. (I saw Alita 6 times, but it had no songs).
2. Aladdin and Alita are the two special movies of this great year. Add Ep. 9 for a solid TOP 3 - and all the others are way below. Endgame is not even in the first dozen.
3. Fuck the critics. Both of these movies will have EXCEPTIONAL word of mouth and the unconditional love of everyone who saw them. Any critic that goes against them is acting suicidal.
I was wrong only for one thing, so I did good to wait to see the movie first:
1. Turns out dude playing Jafar is neither ugly, nor gay, nor exceptionally untalented.
Well, he looks, probably, a bit of all three - but he is so pathetic he feels almost endearing.
So I liked him, poor soul.
And another thing I was right for saying a couple of times:
4. They DID change Jafar's character CONSIDERABLY - to the point of being a totally different person to old Jafar. So the actor that was a terrible match for the old Jafar - is quite appropriate for the slimy careeristic worm we get here.
Our Guy did no wrong! The movie is all kinds of brave and innovative - and fails in none!
If you love your life - go see it on a BIG screen.
Thank the Shay later.

You guys are legally IMPAIRED!
You should be given a state pension to reimburse you for the fact that you are ILL and can not enjoy one of the most enjoyable things in this world: feel-good movies.
Maybe that will make you visit this forum LESS often, to vent your frustration-fueled HATE. Because that is what you do here, don't you - especially visible in good movies threads like this and Alita's.
God knows I understand you. If I was sick and disabled - which I AM, physically!, since an incurable illness started destroying my body three years ago - I would probably bitch and moan and hate on the things I can not have too.
But I still feel sorry for you.

Some parts are just kinda eh, Jafar is pretty weak (Kenzari’s costume has more screen precense than him) but I think what works works - and while it follows many of the same plot beats as the original, it’s not to the Beauty and the Beasy level where it feels like a complete copy. Not as different as say Jungle Book but some things did surprise me - and others left me a bit disappointed, but not crushingly so.
Will Smith is pretty fun (although more when he’s doing his own thing and less when he’s trying to imitate some of Robin Williams’s schtick) and Massoud is better than you’d expect, even if his singing is hit and miss. Naomi Scott’s the MVP though - her number is a bit out of place compared to everything else but she gives it her all and unlike a certain Hermione actually can sing, plus she and Massoud are cute together.
Overall I’d say I had a decent time. Not all the charm of the original is there but there’s some of it. Granted, I was pretty forgiving towards BATB but I’d say I enjoyed this one more. Kinda has that Pirates vibe with some action and adventure scenes but not in tired way like that series has become.
One such actual review is worth more than the million posts of essential hate that have flooded and strangled this thread since its inception.

Shay's TOP TWO most hated sub-genres are, in no particular order:
1. Superheroes
2. Mindless gore & jumpscares
Guess what the chance is of seeing this.
Or New Mutants - but fortunately they destroyed that movie before seeing the light of day.

Reading all those reactions quotes:
"...Blah-blah, I was so stupid to think this movie will suck..."
Yeah, pal, you're basic as fuck. People are generally so stupid and blind...
While the Shay never has ANY doubts!! And even if you don't have his instincts, experience and knowledge - you can still believe!
And if you don't believe in a movie - you don't deserve it; f*ck off.

Girl, everyone knows Prince Ali (Reprise) is the best song in the movie.
And this is the ONLY song of the old movie that will NOT be in the new one.
LOL (New Jafar sucks, first reviews confirm this.)

No, you said that he might be gay because he looked gay and sounded gay. Gay people don't sound gay or look gay. That is just a stereotype conjured by bigots. And combined with your comment that Jafar also looks ugly (therefore implying that people who look gay also look ugly), it really isn't a good look for you.
Disney says that Le Fou may be gay but they didn't start using derogatory stereotypes. They didn't make him a gay stereotype (I assume they didn't, I haven't seen the film yet).
Oh, you are talking REAL people? Like real-real, maybe even yourself?
No, I might have to disappoint you here. We're talking strictly fictional characters and what their creators might have planned for them.
And, BTW, the Shay is bisexual - so snap out of your victim narrative, please. LOL

Shay, you really can't make your bigoted statements anymore explicit than this.
Really? Well, it seems I haven't tried hard enough then...
Soo - if Disney says Le Fou (BATB) may be gay - it's OK. Saying Jafar may be gay - it's suddenly a terrible offense?
Oh, max, my boy - it was such a boring place here before you showed up...

Exactly!!
1. This is great psychological thinking!!
2. Gongrats for having that - and welcome to the boards!
3. Once again: the critics are vultures, slanderers, instigators and flat out liars - and should never EVER be trusted!
4. On TOP of that: any sane person should always think for himself and shouldn't allow any influence. Be like that people, don't be herd cattle, like you've shown in this thread.
