Regardless of the quality of the previous adaptations, for me, this would definitely be a high bar to clear, ESPECIALLY when it came to casting The Genie.<\/p>\n<p>And I have to say, when EW published pics, definitely didn&#8217;t help the argument to give it a chance. Even though the teaser didn&#8217;t give us much, we finally got a trailer&#8230; and safe to say, this looks AWFUL.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t believe me? Check it out below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7hHECMVOq7g\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A thrilling and vibrant live-action adaptation of Disney\u2019s animated classic, \u201cAladdin\u201d is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future. Directed by Guy Ritchie, who brings his singular flair for fast-paced, visceral action to the fictitious port city of Agrabah, \u201cAladdin\u201d is written by John August and Ritchie based on Disney\u2019s \u201cAladdin.\u201d The film stars Will Smith as the Genie; Mena Massoud as Aladdin; Naomi Scott as Jasmine; Marwan Kenzari as Jafar; Navid Negahban as the Sultan; Nasim Pedrad as Dalia; Billy Magnussen as Prince Anders; and Numan Acar as Hakim.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Much like when STAR WARS fans talk about the prequels, and how they just felt wrong from the opening scroll&#8230; definitely got the same feeling here. This whole thing feels wrong. And Will Smith as The Genie? Without a doubt misses the mark of the impression the late Robin Williams left.<\/p>\n<p>This one is definitely a pass for me.<\/p>\n<p>What to you think about the trailer?
