A great movie but wasn't as good as I thought

Rating: 7/10 (17 March 2017)

Beauty and the Beast was my favorite childhood movie so I was super excited to see the live action adaptation starring Emma Watson. It didn't live up to my expectations but I think it's only because I love the original so much. There were a lot of added details that I enjoyed but I found myself shaking my head during some scenes. I liked how it was modernized and the costumes were pretty good. The CGI of the castle servants were a little weird to me but I didn't think the beast's animations were that bad. The transformation scene honestly let me down. The scene in he original is amazing so I expected the live action to be as amazing, if not better. I know there's only so much you can do in a live action movie but I was still expecting more. Still overall a great movie.
