    Default Aladdin Live action Trailer with Smurf Will!




    Didn't care for it. It just feels off. Genie needs to be all cg. He looks like a smurf in the trailer. Can't get past the face. They couldn't have gave him the genies face? Genie didn't look like robin in the cartoon so why make him look like will here? In human form that's fine but he needs to look like the genie in his cg form and he looks like will in smurf paint.

    Jafars voice is a little to high pitched. The cave is cheap and not alive like the old version and it just feels more like a stage play then a big budget movie.

    Oof! That is a lot of dislikes. I didn't think it was great either, but surely it wasn't that bad.

    Jafar didn't wow me.

    But I think it's a given if Will Smith is playing the genie, the genie should look like Will Smith. As far as I know he's the biggest actor on the movie by far, and there will likely be plenty of people going to see it because of him. So having Genie both look and sound like him just makes sense.

    Genie should look like genie. As a youtuber said in a reaction video I just watched. "it's not turning smith turning into the genie, it's genie getting turned into will smith."

    There is no reason not to give him the classic genies face. As someone in the comments said he looks like the fish from sharktale not genie. We are here to see genie not smith as a smurf.

    Also the dislikes on the official trailer are nasty!

    It looks like the film will struggle. So many dislikes already? Its almost like its divisive before release. Now a trailer is a foolish means to gauge future success. But i see the film has its detractors before release.

    I loved the music. If you are doing nostalgia go all in. Aladdin series was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. Thumbs up to that. Alaaddin and Jasmine look good. I am not sure about their acting though. Abu looks fine.

    Zafar appeared boring. Cgi looked poor. All in all not a good trailer imo.

    As to Will Smith i keep my fingers crossed. He looked better then i imagined. Cgi was the way to go. I was imagining blue painted Will Smith. That would have looked horrible. In my opinion the best option was to ditch the blue color and the way he looked in the magazine should have been the main form of genie.

    But Genie was blue? Fans would cry. I would say sorry. Not everything translates well to the big screen.

    We saw Jafar for like two seconds.

    I'll wait and see about Wills Smith's Genie. Honestly, the CGI looks unfinished, and it was probably too early to reveal but they felt they had to.

    I thought it looked great, except that when Will came on the first thing I thought was that it reminded me of early Iron man films when Downey's head was pasted on top of the armor, and the two elements didn't move right together. Visually I thought it was fantastic in every other regard. Beyond that, there wasn't enough to make a judgement.

    I'm starting to think that that red costume photo I posted about earlier is a fan Photoshop job. It looks too much like an altered and recolored version of the Entertainment Weekly cover (see on this page to be anything but. I mean, the pose is identical, the jewelry and clothing are the same baring the color and the cut (which are pretty easy to change), it looks like some of the gold trim was cut off when turning the dress into a crop top, and adding the ponytail and extra skin isn't too hard if you have the right images to splice in. Still a darn good job, though, even if it's not real.

    Good point. It's still just a teaser, not a complete trailer.

    I think. because much like scar Jafar had a iconic voice and be sounded completely different its throwing people. I'm sure after a couple minutes of seeing him on screen people will get use to it.

    As for the Gennie I immediately got a Sharks tale vibe. Cause that movie did a good job of making the fish look like the actors and so seeing an animated Will Smith with those ears and voice made me think sharks tale

    Will Smith was the genie looks like will smith as the genie, not sure how else he could look, lol. Hafar is too darn pretty, that just ain’t right. Mostly, it just seemed too serious. Will smith genie didn’t really fit because he was making jokes and everything else was so dramatic.
