A good modern version of a classic

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2019)

I was a bit confused with this one. I kind of liked it but then at times found myself thinking, was it worth it. It differs little to the classic Disney movie. An extended tale, a few more songs thrown it. I genuinely preferred the animated version which had a bit more charm. Maybe it's a nostalgia thing. Evans was great as Gaston and the rest of the cast were excellent to. The CGI was fine and the reimagining of some of the scenes was excellent. The only real negatives for me was the running time, which could have been 20-30 mins less and also the murdering of the song Tale As Old As Time. Lansbury and the original were just so much better. I preferred the original but at the same time can't say I didn't enjoy it. Worth a watch
