Uneven yet not bad movie

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 2017)

Greetings from Lithuania.
I really did enjoy the first ~45 min. or so of "Beauty and the Beast" (2017). I was superbly paced, well written, acted and directed movie that didn't felt like a cheezee Disney production. Yet by the end this movie started to drag and it was predictable - ye, i'm talking about "Beauty and the Beast" being predictable...
That said, this is pretty good movie overall. Set design, costumes, even some acting were great. The story here well known, and it doesn't provide anything new or original - you know what your are getting into. Also there a tons of familiar faces (at the end) and voices, but nothing memorable in acting category, although Emma Watson was pretty good here.
Overall, "Beauty and the Beast" wasn't as cheezee as i thought it will be. This is not bad movie even if you didn't adore the story (as i am) nor you like Disney musicals (as i am). Its well paced with some superb production values which makes this movie kinda worth seeing it once.
