The Trade-off that's not worth it

Rating: 6/10 (22 March 2017)

When i was a kid Beauty and the Beast (1991) is one of my most favorite animated films of all time (followed by Mulan and Toy Story 2) so there's no denying that this review is going to be a little bias.
Why is that ? you might asked, it's because this Beauty and the Beast basically try to do exactly what the animated version do like literally almost copy and pasted frame by frame and this became the most negative things about this Live Action version even though it adds a few backstory here and there (which i appreciated) the part where it's exactly the same lacks the emotion or authenticity like 1991 version did.
A lot of iconic scene came out kind a bland because it can't go crazy like the animated film did instead it just move there in a frame called 'Beauty and the Beast 1991 version' in a way that there's so few room left to actually breathe (or dare i say they too scared to actually do something new?), sure production design is so beautiful sometimes even more than the original but when the emotion is not there at all it's pointless.
one thing that i really need to gave credit to is Luke Evans like wow he's really really great as Gaston, honestly he's one of the best thing about this version.
If we judge Beauty and the Beast ( 2017 ) by it's own without comparing it to the original movie it's a pretty good movie but still i think that's impossible because in the end it's a remake, and few of new backstory is not worth to trade with emotion and authenticity than the original has.
