Review of Aladin

Aladin (2009)
5/10
Trailer was better than the movie itself.

Warning: Spoilers
I had high expectations when I saw the movie trailer. The movie could not keep up with the trailer.

The movie starts wrong. The cast is very wrong, except one actor. In the beginning this father of Aladin acts very childish. To me he seems to be a Zee-TV actor. Now I don't like these Zee-TV actors. I don't know if this man really is a zee TV actor, but to me he seems to be. A zee TV actor is an actor who cannot really act and cannot make it to the real bollywood movies. A zee TV actor is like a stone. Then you have actors who are silver, like Salman Khan, Sohail Khan, Abishek Bachchan. These actors can act a little bit and are too good for zee TV, but are not that good to be outstanding. Then you have gold actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Sharukh Khan, Amir Khan, zayed Khan. These men can act very good. It took them a while to be where they are now. And last but not least there are diamond actors like Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor. These men show acting as if it's nothing. They act very naturally. Acting is in their blood.

So, this movie starts at zee TV level with this father of Aladin. Then there is an other mistake made; Amitabh Bachchan and Ritesh Desmukh (Gild actors) have to act funny. These actors are serious actors, don't make them act funny. It's horrible! If you want a funny actor, hire Johnny Lever or Anupam Kher.

Sanjay Dutt was great. This is a natural born actor. Great in any roles. The special effects of the movie were awful. The girl in the movie who played Jasmine was, in my opinion, not a pretty lade. A pity that Juhi Chawla is old for this part, although she is far more pretty.

The movie is filled with songs. Not very great songs like "Kuch Kasmein" from the movie aankhen. The song where Amitabh and Ritesh sang together for Jasmine was not very great.

Not very great movie, for kids it could be the movie of the year. This is not difficult, because Hritik Roshan's Krrish 2 will not come out this year. Besides that, I don't think Aladin has much of a competition as it gets to special effects in a movie, crap or no crap.
