Aladdin

Very light comedy with Bud Spencer in the role of a djinn just out of the lamp. Plot not at all original but nice enough to be acceptable.

This is not a memorable movie; I'm sure it was a home video made solely for viewing without thinking about the quality of the product.

Is this the Ziploc Bag guy playing the Genie? Anyway, this whole movie is like an LSD trip where bizarre stuff just happens to this really geeky kid, and he has this fat genie to help him out. All this, of course, amid truly horrible acting, special effects and dialogue. It's so bad, though, it's funny. So buy it if you see it at a bargain basement bin. It'll only set you back a buck anyway.

I saw this yesterday on TV. It's not your usual "Alladdin", but more of a Bud Spencer (sans Terence Hill) flick really. It plays like a B movie, with some awkward acting, specially from the villains. There's even some really politically incorrect stuff for the kids.

Bud is as cool as ever, the boy is okay, and that drunk grandpa manages to be annoying and funny at the same time. I had fun watching this, but then again I really like Bud and Terence stuff.

You can expect a lot of staged fights, clumsy acting, weird stuff going on and lots of continuity/logic errors. But who cares?

I give this a 7 out of 10 on a good day.

I don't get how this movie has such a high rating... it's AWFUL! The film quality is HORRIFIC, the cinematography is ABYSMAL, the plot is RIDICULOUS, and the ACTING? Ugh... There are no words... By the time I was maybe 10 minutes in, they'd already broken almost EVERY Djin rule out there! You get 3 wishes - broken - etc... This movie also included swearing, which for a "family movie" which is what I assume this is, Aladdin movies usually are, I don't think is very appropriate! I recommend avoiding!

I had actually never heard about this 1986 movie as I stumbled upon it in 2022 by random chance. But seeing that it was a Bud Spencer movie, of course I had to sit down and watch it, no doubt about it.

Writers Dardano Sacchetti, Elisa Briganti, Mario Amendola, Bruno Corbucci and Marcello Fondato manged to put together an enjoyable enough movie. This wasn't exactly an outstanding movie experience, but it was watchable. The storyline was pretty straight forward, although a bit too simplistic in its entirety. But I am sure that fans of Bud Spencer is bound to enjoy this 1986 comedy adventure more than I did.

The acting performances in "Superfantagenio" (aka "Aladdin") were as you'd expect from a Bud Spencer movie. So if you enjoy his movies, than you will find yourself in for a good time. I will say that the acting performances in "Superfantagenio" were definitely good enough for my liking.

Ultimately then director Bruno Corbucci's 1986 movie was watchable, but not an outstanding or memorable movie experience. So I hadn't exactly been missing out on a cinematic gem here. It was, for me at least, a very generic Bud Spencer movie.

My rating of "Superfantagenio" lands on a five out of ten stars.
