Awesome remake with Disney magic and spellbinding visuals. Don't believe the bad reviews.

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2017)

Disney's live-action remake of the much loved classic animated film Beauty and the Beast lives up to the hype, and is just as good as, or possibly even better than the animated version. The story is the same, with enough new things in it to add something fresh. Most of the songs from the animated version are in the film, and sound quite similar to those in the animated version. All this makes viewers nostalgic for the old film. The acting is what one would expect from such a huge cast. Luke Evans as Gaston and Josh Gad as LeFou are especially spectacular, as they add humor to their already well developed characters. As I already mentioned, the songs and the music are great, and live up to Disney standards. The cinematography is also great, with long sweeping shots during the musical sequences. The shots of the setting and of the castle are also amazing. What really impressed me about this movie though is the costumes, the sets, the castle, and the general look of the film. Wow wow wow applause clap clap clap!!! No description of mine can do justice to the amazing design and the spectacular use of CGI. I was worried about what the beast and the objects in the castle might look like in a live-action movie, but Disney did a very good job of not just making it work, but making it amazing. Another thing about this version of Beauty and the Beast that I loved was that there's a homosexual character! In a Disney princess movie with a lot of clichÃ©s in it, it's awesome to see some diversity.
Disney's remake of Beauty and the Beast will make fans of the animated classic nostalgic. It will delight a new generation of children. I wouldn't recommend bringing really young children to see it though, as there is some violence and things that may spoil your child's innocence. The movie is very enjoyable for teens and adults as well. However, if you don't like the animated classic, you will not enjoy this movie. If you don't like classic fairy tales featuring princes and castles, don't see this movie. If you hate musicals, don't see this movie. See this movie for the Disney charm, the nostalgia for the animated version, the music, and the amazing visuals. I would highly recommend seeing Beauty and the Beast in the cinema, possibly in 3D.
