Now I can't eat this kind of comedy and farce. When the princess goes to the people, she can take bread without giving money and be justified. Does anyone who sells bread deserve a loss? With this awareness and knowledge, do you still feel that you are ready to be a sultan? There is also a problem with the magical limit of the magic lamp. In the end, Jia Fang's wish is to be a sultan. Everyone just changed their clothes, and the scene was embarrassing and ridiculous. One star for Will Elf, one star for the beauty of the princess, and one star for the little monkey.

It's hard to rate this movie, because it's a piece of shit with pearls in it. It's a hard choice whether I pinched my nose for a few pearls to recognize this shit or just treat it as shit. This movie is shit compared to the original, so shit I don't even dare to watch the Disney live-action movie after that. When I originally watched the trailer, I thought the male protagonist's appearance was a notch. After reading it, I found out that the male protagonist's appearance at that time was actually something to watch... The costume special effects scene after being enlarged in IMAX is rough like a 2000 movie, the sound The soundtrack is so bad that the male lead sings can't be heard. The rhythm of the story is not as good as the original version, and the most annoying thing is that it is obviously promoting the heroine's self-improvement card, but the final character design is not as pleasing as the original animation. Is it so difficult to ask Feminist Disney to write a strong female character with brains and abilities? Do you have to prove yourself with a Mary Sue-level cannon? I suddenly don't know what the pursuit of watching the live-action version is. Maybe it's enough to see Will Smith's sprite and the animation scenes restored in it, but I still hope that I have a little pursuit.
