Incredible! Better than the original.

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2017)

2017's live action remake of Disney's beauty and the beast is by far better than the original 1991 film. First off, the visual effects and designs are absolutely breathtaking! The set designs are so eloquent and beautiful. Then the costumes, the period costumes are very true to the original and accurate. And the casting is one hundred percent perfect. Emma Watson is a great Belle, she looks a lot like her, speaks a lot like her, and represents the starring character very well. Dan Stevens is good beast, even though you don't get to see him in human form till the very end. And throughout the rest of the film the CGI is so well done and the Beast looks great, doesn't look fake at all. I enjoyed Kevin Kline as belles father very much, he just looks like the character when you first see him and when he talks you just know that was a perfect casting decision. I adored Emma Thompson as Miss Potts, her beautiful singing voice gave me chills, she lit up the screen. There could not have been a better casting choice for LaFou other than Josh Gadd, and if anyone was surprised by his character being gay then I seriously wonder if you have ever seen original film, I applaud Disney for promoting diversity and even giving his character a love interest at the end. Luke Evans as Gaston could not have been better! The writing is very similar to the original animation and it works very well. The musical numbers will blow you away and fill you with awe and wonder. Be my guest is absolutely wonderful. I honestly can't say anything bad about this wonderful film. Take someone to BE YOUR GUEST and go see this! 10/10
