Beautiful Retelling of a Classic

Rating: 9/10 (20 March 2017)

The only reason I did not give this film a 10 was because it does not surpass the original. This film is brilliant on so many levels. Kevin Kline, Emma Watson, Josh Gad, and Dan Stevens bring so much more depth to their characters and enhance the story we already love. Alan Menken adds some beautiful new pieces that add more emotion to the story. The few complaints I had with the movie were minor and didn't affect the real experience of the movie. Overall this is a great retelling of a classic with some modern twists.
