One word.......Dull

Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2017)

This is a proper example of when you have a talented cast, beautiful sets, exquisite costumes, CGI and one of the story of a Disney princess you can still make a hot mess out of it.
Personally I found the overall direction to be extremely horrible. The story was not at all exciting. I was surprised with how much boring it was compared to the other princess stories I've read and watched in animated or live form. Even, growing up this story as a book was one of my favorites. But surprisingly with that type of content this director made the worst Disney movie so far.
The acting felt average from all the performers. I had big expectations form Emma Watson's portrayal of a princess. Sadly she let me down. Perhaps the biggest actors in this movie were in CGI form. So I had to sit through average acting for the human roles and decent voice overs from the good actors for the CGI roles for two long hours. No wonder I was checking the remaining time every 10 minutes.
The only thing this movie might had going for it is the set decoration and costume designing. But if the story falls flat like this it doesn't feel complementary, it feels like pointless show-off.
It eludes me how so many people found it good (It has 7.4 rating when I'm writing this!! it surely will go down). This is something from which Disney should learn what not to do in their future live action princess adaptations. These are the precious stories from every kids childhood. I sincerely hope Disney won't make them this boring on silver screen in the the upcoming movies.
