Nah, he should've though. Iago barely even talked in the movie, they definitely kinda phased him out. I wasn't entirely bothered by that though
Iirc I only had 3 legit complaints about the movie
1) The dude who played Jafar was pretty forgettable and monotonous/boring. I think if they had Jason Momoa as Jafar, it would've been bad ass.
2) The whole new world scene was kinda underutilized visually and the dude who played aladdin definitely isn't a great singer either. Jasmine was great though, and fine af
3) The stage/walls or whatever they used for Aladdin's home at the beginning of the movie looked super fake for some reason. It reminded me of something you'd see at Disney World that almost looks like the real thing, but is obviously manufactured and just doesn't look authentic at all
But overall I thought it was pretty good. Visually it was a great film. Smith did a great job as the genie, and I'm sure he had help from audio engineers and some pitch correction - but he was able to pull off the intro song pretty well, and everything about the prince ali scene (visually and the song) was a 10/10 imo. I'm glad that Smith wasn't blue the entire movie, he could've been in his human form a bit more, but it wasn't too cheesy. Their casting choices were good for the most part were good - I don't have any complaints at all about their choices for Genie, Jasmine, or Aladdin (just wish someone else sang Aladdin's part on whole new world).
tbh I loved Aladdin growing up, so for anyone who has any nostalgic attachment to the movie - I'd recommend it. It's not perfect by any means, but it's a solid watch.
