Tale as old as Time...

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2017)

You can have many opinions about movie remakes. It is true, that many times remakes are stupid and vain and many times they flop simply because of their contradiction in terms. So is Beauty and the Beast remake legitimate? Absolutely yes. Movie is a thoroughbred true musical and many musicals are very populated in theaters all around the word and people travel to see them in many theater cities around the world. There is no reason why we can't enjoy the new version of Beauty and the Beast. With the new technology movie has brought back so beautifully. It's legendary themes sounds so lovely and familiar, that even new generation can enjoy it's magic and luxury. Also the movie characters are now more profound and therefore more interesting even for more adult audience. Beauty and the Beast takes it's audience from very beginning to it's magical world and entertains it's whole audience. Movie follows almost exactly the original movie concept. Most of the time it works, but not all the time. Especially at the middle of the movie "Be my Guest" song is little too blurry and childish and could be replaced with better scene. That doesn't bother too much and movie maintains it's magic.
Emma Watson as Belle manages her role very well and surprises with her talent to sing. Dan Stevens has make-up almost unrecognizable, but digitally created monsters face and eyes are brought to screen so lively and humanly as possible. Strong story, great characters and Alan Menken's score is so beautiful watch and hear, that it sensitize even strongest viewer. Remake of Beauty and the Beast is very well done update of original Disney classic.
Tale as old as time True as it can be Barely even friends Then somebody bends Unexpectedly Just a little change Small to say the least Both a little scared Neither one prepared Beauty and the beast
