Wooden Acting, Why British Accents?

Rating: 1/10 (24 May 2017)

The acting was terrible...it seems that every actor paused between the next line, the timing was off, you were "aware" you were watching a movie the whole time and at no point did it draw you in.
Also... isn't Beauty and the Beast a french tale? And the original everyone had American Accents. So why on earth would they choose British accents? It makes the whole thing feel cheap and contrived.
This is one of a hundred "remakes just to make a remake" movies and it's unfortunate because if they really had cared about doing the original justice and making a movie people could enjoy..not just "lets take a sure thing and make millions off it" it might have been a timeless classic. Also they could have introduced fresh faces, people we could fall in love with not stone faced Emma Watson and Luke Evans.
