Aladdin. The name conjures up images of a quick thief in the streets, an Arabian city from centuries ago, an evil vizier, and a large terrifying blue genie. Some things just don't translate well from the cartoon version to a live film with actual people on the silver screen. It turns out that the genie from Aladdin is one of them. With comments on social media describing 'Will Smith as Genie is straight nightmare fuel' (sic) director Guy Ritchie may have to work some magic of his own to get this whole new world off the ground and into cinemas.

I would like to know if he is cosplaying as a smurf or something from Avatar.

    This article headline is yet more BS about everyone being afraid of everything.

    Check out the picture:

    If this picture is anything more than "Ha, hah.." to you.. if there is anything at all resembling fear in you.. you're a sheep. Please go to the slaughter.

    I find that picture to be downright creepy.
    Scary? Maybe. In the sense of "is it Halloween? What's this drugged up cosplaying stoner doing?"

      I can usually spot a 'dud' movie. That looks like a dud.

      It will do 'ok' because well curiosity from everyone who liked the 90s cartoon one. But other than that it will dud out.
