'Aladdin' becomes a box-office hit in Korea


Article: 'Aladdin' surpasses 'Money' and 'The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil'... Top 5 movies in 2019

1. [+1236, -27] If you haven't watched it yet, make sure to go to the movie theater to watch it ㅠㅠ

2. [+1020, -30] I got goosebumps when they got on the carpet and sang, "I can show you the world~" One of the legendary scenes of Disney.

3. [+857, -30] I watched Aladdin with my husband and kids. It was dubbed but me and my husband enjoyed it a lot! I really recommend Aladdin!

4. [+84, -2] Make sure to watch it during night times to avoid kids.

5. [+79, -3] Naomi Scott is so pretty.

6. [+68, -0] I've wondered how a live action adaptation of Disney would turn out. The original work was solid enough and with Disney's financials, the movie was great. Lion King was my favorite one so I'm absolutely excited for that one.

7. [+65, -0] It reminded me of watching Disney movies in Sunday mornings. I'm much older now but the movie took me back to the young days. It made me happy.

8. [+61, -8] Better than Parasite.

9. [+57, -4] It was so good. Best movie ever.

10. [+56, -1] I went to watch it with zero anticipation but I came out with the happiest face in the world ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm gonna go again next week to watch it in 4-D.

11. [+53, -0] Will Smith's swag was no joke ㅠㅠ Rather than Aladdin, I could only notice Genie and Jasmine.

12. [+47, -7] Instead of 'Aladdin', they should've called it 'Genie' instead. Genie had the biggest presence. The next was the female lead. The male lead was useless. In the anime and the original movie of Aladdin, the male lead is really charming but in this version, he was nothing but a thief. The biggest thing was that he can't sing at all.

2. [+47, -2] It's not even a real trailer, it's a teaser trailer but it broke 2M views.

9. [+8, -0] Why does Xiumin look like a squirrel ㅋㅋㅋㅋ So cute

10. [+7, -0] Yoo Seung Ho is an actor who's liked by the public but he doesn't appear on variety shows because he's in his own company and he believes that an actor should focus on movies and dramas. Besides, I don't think his personality would fit on variety shows, he looks strict.

Instiz: Current Korean movies (Jan~Feb 2016)

- I just watch foreign movies because Korean movies are boring with poor storylines

- Zootopia was the most recent one I watched

- There used to be a lot of great movies like King and the Clown, The Host, and 200 Pounds of Beauty in the past
