Every Disney live action remake either has been good or looks like it might be good... except for this one. Is it a coincidence that it was directed by Guy Ritchie? This is the guy whose last 4 movies (two 'Sherlock Holmes', 'U.N.C.L.E.' and 'King Arthur') didn't bear much resemblance to their source material. Whatever convinced Disney that this was the director to capture the essence of the original Aladdin? Maybe this'll be better than it looks in the trailer and Ritchie will prove such doubt wrong, but it's hard to imagine that at the moment.
