'Aladdin' trailer: Will Smith's genie overshadowed by brilliance of the late Robin Williams

Fans take to social media to express their disappointment with the looks and vibes of Will Smith played Genie in the upcoming Guy Ritchie movie

Disney revealed the much-awaited trailer of the live action version of 'Aladdin' during the Grammys, and though much anticipated it unfortunately it failed to keep up with the expectations of people. Usually known for their brighter plot line with a pinch of darkness, the upcoming fantasy adventure film starring Will Smith as Genie gives viewers a gothic vibe and makes them believe that they have time traveled into an era where mystery and magic are dark and complex.

We also see Mena Massoud playing the role of Aladdin, Naomi Scott in the character of Princess Jasmine, and Marwan Kenzari as Jafar in the Guy Ritchie fare. While the trailer tries hard to whet the appetite of fans eager for the release of the film, unfortunately, it falls short of pulling the audience by a thread.  Even Smith fails to capture our attention in his role as a Genie.
