Disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (27 May 2017)

Now I wasn't expecting a shot for shot remake, and this certainly is not that. What I was expecting was something that entertained and gives us a reason to revisit the near perfect 1991 animated version of this film. What we got was heavily and horribly auto tuned Emma Watson, among others and acting that hardly convinced you that anyone was feeling anything genuine at all. The story quickly bored me and I found myself doing other things on my cell phone while watching it, and I got a feeling that the SJW lot had some meddling in how the character of Belle was redone here. The CG was unconvincing, if not all together overly done. I would skip this, as the animated version was way better, and the emotions more raw and convincing.
