Emotionless and stale

Rating: 1/10 (29 June 2017)

May contain spoilers. My review talks on scenes that show up on the film that I disliked.
This version of Beauty and the Beast was a huge disappointment. The acting from Watson and Beast was horrible, it seemed as though they had no real connection outside of set and maybe it transferred on film. The film did not evoke any change of heart towards their feelings and thoughts of each other. Only one song. The snow fight was a a joke...they barely showed any physical hints that they were growing more comfortable with each other, let alone falling in love. The "be my guest" scene...all there was from Watson was a simple smile...when belle was saying good bye after beast setting her free there was no emotional connection, no hint of any type of love from either belle or beast. It was incredibly stale...you did not see the love grow at all...no romance growing...no insight to internal struggles or regrets or change of heart being shown. There was also barely verbal interaction with Bell and Beast...I can go on and on...but the most emotion I got from the film was Gastons hate towards the beast...I re watched the animated one and the animated one is so much better by light years!
