Why all the bad reviews

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2020)

Watching again today for probably the 10th time. I don't understand all the hate for this movie. The colors and costumes are outstanding. The new songs are really good. Kevin Kline as Maurice is so good. Josh Gad is absolutely hilarious and was perfectly cast. Emma Watson does a decent job as Belle, although not someone I would have picked. Love Dan Stevens and wish we had seen more of him as the Prince. If you loved the animated version, then I don't understand why you wouldn't love this one. I like that the characters of the Beast and Belle are given more of a back story, you understand a little but of the loneliness that they both feel as outcasts and why the Prince was so horrible.
