Doesn't fall short of the original

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2019)

I'm 37 years old. I may have watched the original once or twice when I was a kid, but I didn't really know it well (Aladdin and Lion King were my obsessions).
I did however watch both this and the original recently and in my opinion the original isn't any better. In fact, it has some drawbacks compared to this remake.
Yes, the beast is too CGI looking and all of the autotune on Emma Watson and other's singing is excessive to say the least.
The scene in the remake where everyone freeze as their inanimate object spells is amazing and the scene where everyone turn back to humans is moving and magical.
People always have a hard time when watching changed versions of movies they are so used to and love. It's natural.
