Fabulous Live Action remake to a Disney Animated Classic

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2017)

Excellent live action remake to an animated Disney classic! Bought the movie on BluRay recently after seeing it in the theater a couple months ago. Pitch perfect casting of all the characters overall. Especially liked the performances of Emma Watson as Belle, Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, and Luke Evans as Gaston. Each performance brought their animated counterpart characters to life as well as could be imagined. Each member of the ensemble cast brought some realness and distinct personality to their characters in this live-action version.
From the charm, fearlessness, independence, and radiance that Emma Watson portrayed and embodied into Belle. To the enthusiasm, joy, and pure fun that Ewan McGregor embraced with Lumiere. From the brashness and over- the-top entertaining and villainous persona that Luke Evans brought to Gaston. The casting, acting performances, along with the CGI special effects, and the excellent directing together combined to make this movie a magnificent success.
FYI, to the earlier review poster, Belle (Emma Watson) does cry with somber sorrow and sadness in the ending scene when she thinks the Beast/Prince passes away. Before she declares her love for him to allow the Prince and the other castle characters to transform back to normal human form. Those are CLEARLY real tears coming out of her eyes, so Emma Watson portrayed and expressed the heartbreaking emotions of that climatic ending scene VERY WELL.
In the end, this live action version "Beauty & The Beast" will finish as one of the Top 10 grossing movies all-time revenue grosses earned at the box office. Both domestically and internationally worldwide overall. So based on those box office results, a vast majority people who saw this movie enjoyed, were entertained, and pleased with what they saw in the theaters. Highly recommend purchasing this movie in any format (BluRay, DV, Digital HD). A memorable live action remake and family movie for all generations.
