Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

OllieSuave-007 I was never a fan of the original Aladdin movie and I just happen to catch this movie on TV on a slow night. I wasn't expecting too much from the film, but did find the story about Aladdin finally getting to marry Princess Jasmine only to find the wedding being disrupted by the 40 Thieves a bit intriguing.The animation wasn't the best, but was serviceable. Robin Williams returned to voice the Genie and gave, as I remembered, a less-than-annoying and less American culture cliché portrayal than in the first movie. The songs were OK, not as catchy as the ones in the first film. But, the plot was a tad more exciting due to more exciting sequences and the incorporation of the Midas storyline. Other than that, however, it's not one of the better Disney movies out there and if I would randomly select a Disney movie to put on for guests, it wouldn't be this one. I just find the movie to be a tad boring and find it better suited for little kids.Grade C

Arlis Fuson So Aladdin and Jasmine are getting married (finally) and their wedding is crashed by the 40 thieves who are there to steal a magical oracle that allows anyone who has it to ask it one question. The King of Thieves wants to know where the magical hand of Midus is. Aladdin finds out the King of thieves is his father and they find the hand of Midas together.The hand of Midas was the only thing cool about this film, some of Robin Williams improvised stuff is funny as well. It had even worse quality than the last one and looked low budget and about neck and neck with the TV show as far as quality goes.I was glad to see CCH Pounder as the voice of the oracle and that was a bonus, but nothing can save this film for me, it was really boring, kids might enjoy it if they don't require too much to entertain them. 2/10 stars.

jerekra Most of the time when straight to video Disney Sequels are made you can understand why the film was not released in theatres. However in the case of Aladdin and the King of Thieves I feel that this film should have been released in the theatres.Aladdin and Jasmine have their wedding interrupted by an attack by the Forty Thieves. Soon Aladdin learns that his father is the King of Thieves. He brings his father back to Agraba hoping that he will reform, however Aladdins father has hopes of finding the ultimate treasure no matter the cost.The artwork for this film is way better than in The Return of Jafar. Also the story is excellent and action packed.One of the main reasons why this film works is the return of Robin Williams. He is as hilarious as ever as the Genie, and actually I think that he is much more funny in this film as opposed to the first Aladdin film. Genie is hilarious in this film and that is the major reason this film is great.Also I like how Aladdin's father is in this film. A great idea and I think that this somewhat is similar to the third Indiana Jones film. Not only is the idea similar but the fact that they got the actor who played Sallah in the Indiana Jones Trilogy (his name escapes me) makes the idea work all that much better.Also there is a good villain in Suluk, a sort of huge evil guy with a sharp claw thing on one of his hands.I guess the one flaw might be the lack of great songs. If they had improved on that a little this film would have been perfect. But I would rather there be great humor, action, and story than a few great songs.If they had improved the artwork a little, and added some awesomer music this would have been a great film to release in theatres.Of all the Disney sequels that have been released straight to video, this is BY FAR the best. I recommend this film greatly.

StartingAllOver14 Before Disney began to spit out sequels to almost every animated movie they've made, "Aladdin" was the first film who got two sequels and a television series. For me they could just make the sequels, cause the TV series were, except some few episodes, really awful! The good ol' "Aladdin" from 1992 has earned it's "Disney classic" reputation. Unlike the people I know, I enjoyed "Return of Jafar" (although it had some flaws).Still, "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" has a better plot and story than "Return of Jafar". But it's also is a more serious and heavy-handed cartoon than the two previous "Aladdin" films, even surpassing "Pocahontas" for seriousness. Still, "King of Thieves" is a watchable and a okay movie.It's great to see the good ol' Genie (with Robin Williams' voice) back in action! Aladdin himself has gone through many changes throughout the films and the series and this film he's more sentimental and selfless in this picture (unlike the selfish "kind of" hero in the series) and so are Jasmine and Abu. Unfortunately, Rajah the tiger doesn't appear so much in this feature.This movie has a new composer for the score, which is a nice change. The animation is of course not so great, but still it's colorful.
