Disney dropped the new look trailer for "Aladdin", the live-action remake of the animated movie, during the Grammys. We finally get to see Will Smith as 'Genie in the Lamp' and boy does he look weird. The computer generated image of Will Smith as genie has sparked a wave of ridicule on Twitter.
You can watch the trailer here:

Most people on Twitter did not seem like their wishes would come close to being granted. It was more like they wished the team did a better job and I have to agree. He looks a little terrifying compared to the bubbly, buffy and 'big-chinned' animated Genie version. Or were the expectations too high?
Aladdin drops on May 24th and it'll be interesting to see if the movie will wow at the cinemas. I'm not very impressed especially considering that Jaffar's casting left a lot to be desired in my view. What do you think? Are you excited? Does Will look dope as Genie?
Here are my fave Twitterati reactions.
