Mixed Feelings
On the one hand, I am greatly relieved that they didn't turn Jasmine into some hijab-covered submissive Saudi woman.
On the other, she basically spends an entire song bemoaning the fact that nobody listens to her because you're a woman. Uhhhh, you're daughter of a sultan? I'm pretty sure if you wanted to pick your husband, boot Jafar from office, or anything else, not only do you have power, but the sultan does not seem like he'd refuse his daughter. So basically, she came across as weaker than the original Jasmine. "Strong" woman indeed.
Indifferent about Will Smith tbh (genies don't have race), and giving him a romantic angle was okay... I guess... The movie wasn't as bad as Beauty and the Beast's remake, so there's that.
