I feel like that’s the biggest mistake with this remake. It wants to be a remake of the animated movie and not an adaption of the stage musical. I feel like if Guy Ritchie stated he was making an adaption of the musical people wouldn’t have been so up in arms about the creative decisions they made with this movie.
I even noticed some similarities between the remake and the musical. Genie in his human form wears similar clothing to the ones in the musical also the fact that Genie is played by an African American and jasmine appears to have a friend which is similar to the musical.
I don’t know what do you think?

I would love it if “proud of your boy” made it into the remake. It was supposed to be in the movie, but got cut. It did end up making it into the stage musical though. Such a great song I always thought.

I agree. Doing a live-action adaptation of a popular animated film gave the remake an extremely high standard of quality it could never live up to. The Broadway musical has some differences from the film and could have gave the remake some leg room to work with so it could stand on its own.

I don’t know. I’ve heard the guy playing Jafar is really bad. Unless it's a soul crushing exercise in human cruelty like Seven Pounds or Collateral Beauty, Will Smith is at least generally has a positive screen presence even if miscast. That guy they got playing Jafar though, just hearing his voice with a single line of dialogue shows that he has zero menace or charisma.

Apparently it has gotten some reactions. Okay...As it is, the summation from these people is "it's not as bad as expected." Not the most stellar endorsement but could be worse I suppose.
