After Earth was a shit movie. Don't watch it. Will was clearly trying to feature his douchey son and didn't give a shit whether the product was worthwhile or not. The small role he played in the film was very different from typical summer blockbuster Will Smith, though, which is why I mentioned it.

I think you're right, which is why I laugh anytime someone says that about Smith. How many times has Denzel played Denzel as some form of cop/detective? Tom Hanks isn't a true thespian. Brad Pitt? Get the **** outta here.

I really hope that it will be worth it to watch, I am not that impressed with the live action movie of Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella. I have also heard that Disney is creating a live action of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Didn't know they made a Cinderlla one. Doubt I'd watch that anyway.

Can't wait for the Lion King though. I'll probably see that in theatres.

The way kids are now w/ Frozen, I was like that w/ Lion King and Aladdin when I was a kid.

It's too bad it's a children's movie...I want to see some real gory NatGeo level lion fights. Or Mufasa ripping legs off of a hyena. Crunch crunch crunch....

New trailer.

OK, glad to know that he won't be blue the whole time. That looks much less cringeworthy.

I agree...some people seem mad about that though

Looks like a lot of fun. I’m in.

Trailer looks much better. Will Smith's singing sounds a little questionable though...

First look at Will Smith as Genie
 

Honestly, I thought The Rock’s singing was the worst part of Moana but people ate it up so I’ll give this a chance..

If anything, I’d say Jafar appears to be the weakest aspect of the movie. This dude doesn’t look nearly skeevy enough.

I feel the same way about Jafar. His voice especially throws me off. It needs to be more raspy, deep, and sinister.

Rock singing was beyond cringey.

But yeah, Jafar doesn't have that narrow face evil smirk look like he does in the original. When they showed him giving the proposition to go into the cave in the trailer, I initially didn't know who it was.

Great...IMDB says Steve the Pirate is doing Iago's voice-over.

Wtf didn't they have Gilbert Gottfried do it? Dumb.

And there is STILL no reason for this movie to exist...

It doesn't need to be exactly the same. And Alan Tudyk is one of the best voiceover actors in the game today.

Meh, it looks fun. I'll go see it most likely. My wife loved the original.
