Better than expected.

Okay I was not too thrilled over the movie by the time it was coming out. First announced yes. I wasn't so happy to see it anymore because Emma Watson got the role of Belle. I like Emma but prefer unknown women as the classic princesses. Even when I heard Angelina was Maleificent but I LOVED her in the role after all. So with Emma, I didn't love it but she suited the part. Did rather well and I was pleased.
After the beast transformed at the end I was smitten with Matthew from Downton Abbey. Lol Oh how I miss thee. The show is no more.
Another thing was the other characters. I did not like their new looks. That also wasn't so bad when watching. Although I much prefer Lumiere and his women more like how they were. The bird is weird. Oh and Mrs Potts, I miss the spout being her nose. Well I liked the cartoon ones much more but I wasn't as bothered by these ones as I had thought. Same for the beast. In the posters and ads he looked extra ugly but when watching it he was actually similar to the Disney beast.
Lastly I thought this was going to be a whole new telling of the tale but it was actually a retelling of the classic which I actually enjoyed possibly more than a new creative spin. Including the classic songs. That made me happy. Wasn't a fan of the new songs added but oh well.
So all in all. I liked it better than I had expected. Now I want to watch the Disney one. Lol
