If it ain't broke, don't fix it

This is the Bill Condon adaptation of the Disney animated classic from 1991. Let me repeat that this is a live action adaption OF A CLASSIC! I have read many reviews complaining about its lack of originality but im here to say that why would we want to change a story that is so dear to many a heart. This movie is a fantastic viewing for children and adult alike. though i recognize that it is not perfect.
The acting roles were also done masterfully but with some questions in my humble opinion. i thought everyone except emma watson as belle fit perfectly. ESPECIALLY GASTON! Luke evans stole the show for me. a big surprise was josh gad as lefou because it was brilliant. josh gad did a great job. all voice acting was superb and made it grand to be a guest for their show.
this movie holds dear to the story while also adding depth to pretty much all the characters and even surprisingly giving depth to LeFou. Some songs have been added which definitely did add to the story beautifully. This movie feels very much like a musical due to the increase of songs within the movie so it does feel like they sing way more then in the animated.
This movie was a very satisfying cinematic experience with breath taking visuals from the beast to the castle and everything in between. sets were absolutely gorgeous and every shot of this movie is a beautiful master piece. and equally as beautiful is the heart that is added through background stories mainly of beast and learning more about belles mother which we learn very little about in the animated.
overall this movie was an awesome viewing for me being a whole life fan of the animated classic and i feel this only made it even better by adding more to love that fits so perfectly. it is a beautiful viewing so go see it.
