Aladdin

« À l'arrivée, Aladdin constitue un divertissement à l'ancienne, correctement fait. Le souvenir du dessin animé se révèle toutefois encombrant. »

« Ce remake en prise de vues réelles d'un classique animé photocopie fidèlement l'original, sans magie ni inspiration additionnelles. »

« 'Aladdin" is no more realistic, ultimately, than "Star Wars -- Episode I: The Phantom Menace," which came out 20 years earlier and has comparably sketchy computer imagery. »

« Seemingly set in a sanitized corner of Adventureland, the real fantasy offered here is getting to be in Will Smith's entourage. »

« What principally connects Aladdin's hero and heroine is their large and very white teeth. »

« Will Smith steps into Robin Williams' shoes, bringing fresh attitude to the role of the Genie in Guy Ritchie's high-risk, mostly rewarding live-action remake. »

« Guy Ritchie's family-friendly, CG-enhanced live-action version of Disney's animated hit surprises in all the right ways. »

« The climactic showdown between the heroes and villains also feels overblown, more appropriate for a Marvel movie than a lighthearted Disney. »

« As such, this live-action ALADDIN is inconsistent. »

« The new Aladdin does have a fun energy and charm - not to mention one of the best soundtracks of any Disney musical ever - but all of those positives are simply borrowed, and there is a very real and notable limit to its creative energy. »
