A village girl is imprisoned in a castle with a beast and fall in love

Rating: 6/10 (19 March 2017)

I never expected much from a live action remake of a cartoon classic, so I had low expectations. I did not care about the hype either. The only interesting thing about the movie is the use of 3D. Apart from that, the story is not new, it is just a conversion of the animated version to live action. The musical numbers were inferior to the original. The only good part of the movie is Luke Evan's role as Gaston. The minute I learned he was cast as Gatson, I knew he would be wonderful. In fact, his character was the most interesting in the movie. Emma Watson was okay, but fails to exude her 'Hermione' in Belle. The cast of talented actors did not help elevate the story much. Ian McKellen, and Emma Thompson are wasted. The CGI was terrible too. The Beast effects was very unrealistic and distracting. All in all, the only reason to enjoy this movie is because of the 3D, Luke Evans, and nostalgia. It would be a good movie for kids who have not seen the original animation.
