3 Times Is the Charm

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2019)

This review is by someone who was introduced to the Disney tale of Beauty and the Beast through the live-action version. That being said, having now seen the animated version as well, the animated version is clearly better as it actually manages to make me cry at the end (darn you Disney!) But don't let that dissuade you from seeing this delightful revision of the classic tale. The live-action Beauty and the Beast is truly dazzling.
Emma Watson is a fantastic actress and clearly one of my favorite actresses because of her work as Hermione Granger but, to be honest, I don't feel she's pretty enough to be Belle. But...she just manages to pull it off.
However, Luke Evans is the PERFECT Gaston. He's devilshly handsome and yet so conceited and awful at the same time. I can't imagine anyone else playing him.
All in all, I've seen this film three times now so yeah, I like it.
