Copying a screenplay is not a tribute.

Rating: 4/10 (11 December 2018)

A live action version with identical screenplay and identical scenes is not a tribute. It's simply a BS.
About 30 years ago a team of people gathered and discussed about how to represent this story. You have to pay respect to their hard work and copying their screenplay is a dumb choice. Ok, they added the story of Belle's mother and extended the spell to the whole village, but this is not what it's called "telling the story in a new and fresh way". It simply means adding an extra detail to an already set story.
The idea of having Emma Watson playing the part of Belle seemed to be winning. I don't know if it's Emma's fault or the director's, but the result is that Belle looks boring, flat and serious. Just an example: look at when she's having the animated dinner. She simply smiled, like she was staring at an advertising in the television. Not at all amazed nor astonished by it as she should have been.
Finally, I think they could have done something more interesting with the Beast's look. His face is too human.
I support the idea of remake the Disney classics, but please, bring something new and modern to it.
P.S. Look at Kenneth Branagh's Cinderella to know how to do a decent and respectful adaptation.
