Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (10 April 2017)

I watched the original in early 90s , I watch it now again very often with my 3 years daughter and enjoyed it again. The old version is almost perfect and probably one of the best Animation movies ever made, one of the best musicals and one of the best Disney movies. I went with my daughter (who loves the original) to see this again and what did we find ?!! A real disappointment !!! My daughter who watches and enjoys the original at least once a week fall asleep after 1 hour. I felt a headache of the unnecessary, unexpressive, low quality, excessive CGI effects and My wife almost cried because of the horror done with this classic.
The movie has only 1 positive, which is adding the rose robbery scene as that's the real story in the traditional folk story. I can also say that Luke Evans doesn't look like Gaston but does well, Mc gregor , Ian and Thompson do good acting when allowed. But otherwise, the movie was very disappointing due to the following:
 Emma Watson acting is fake and has nothing to do with Belle. She doesn't look smart, she is not feminine, she is rude with Gaston, she looks like a kid etc.
 The beast has no expressions, it is not scary and is not tender  it is nothing.
 New songs are below the originals. So, why did we insert them?
 Actors are not able to sing and do not improve the old songs.
 The original had a lot of funny scenes for kids and adults. This one has none unless throwing a big snow ball or putting make up on a beast is considered funny !!!
 Lumiere, Mrs pott, cogsworth, chip etc. are not funny anymore, have no expressions and cause headache when watching. While they were Essential in the original movie.
 The castle, the village etc. all seem very fake for unknown reason as they neither look like the original movie nor like real. So, why didn't we just shoot the movie in any village in the Alpes or Pyrinees instead ?!!!!!
 I am not racist, But the colored Librarian what is doing in France when the movie is supposed to take place? And what about the library? only 6 books ?!!! Then what did Belle read ?! always the same 6 books ?!!!!
 What did the homosexual content add to the story? Are we promoting it or defending it ?!! or is it supposed to be funny ?!!! I don't understand it.
 What is the Paris thing about ?!! What did it add? My daughter got asleep at that point !!!
 How come the tree stroke by the thunder disappear ?! How does it snow in June ?! How does it snow constantly in very limited terrain? Is this movie supposed to be more serious than the original with real actors or more childish or what?!! I don't get it.
 What is Maurice ? how come he sits in a table and starts eating without being invited !! why ?!!!
 Adult humor is missing: Lumiere – Don Juan Scenes, Gaston – Macho scenes, Belle promoting Aladdin etc.
The movie is a failure, if you remake an excellent movie like this you should have at least considered adding: excellent acting, new funny scenes, improved songs, new better songs, dancing, choreography  etc. but the movie didn't.
So, IN conclusion, this version is a very bad experience not worth its budget or publicity. I have to watch the animation one with my daughter almost every month because she adores it because the movie deserves that. I am sure that with this version I will not face this problem.
