Beautiful but....

Rating: 6/10 (25 October 2018)

While Beauty and the Beast boasts some fantastic set pieces, wonderful costumes and great performances. The entire film just feels like a retread of the original animated classic, and as a result doesn't feel new (like The Jungle Book) or boring (like Malificent) just uninspired. If I had a choice I'd watch the original, and while I don't like to compare remakes it's hard when this film's job is to give you the nostalgia you felt for the first movie.
