A true live action masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2017)

First time reviewer here but I have to do this because I feel nearly majority of the reviews here are stupid and crazy. Going into this movie I was so excited and I loved the animated film but the trailers had me sold and the cast was perfect!! The songs were perfect and even the two new songs fitted beautifully with the others and captured the story line perfectly. I defy anyone to not shed a tears in any part of this movie. The combination of the score, the emotions and the characters we love so dearly made this movie beautiful. Tonight, I saw the movie for my fourth time and I saw the sing along version and sang along to EVERY song and was captivated in the movie all over again. Emma Watson and Dan Stevens are brilliantly cast as Belle and the Beast {sorry but this Beast made me feel more for him here than in the animated movie} Casting Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson and the others was perfect. and Luke Evans and Josh Gad - wow, Luke Evans can sing. Please do not go off the reviews here and see the movie for yourself. I have had many friends agree with me about the movie and even say a second time is worth it. Yes the animated movie is iconic and stunning but for me, this version over takes it and it now goes this movie then the animated movie and that is saying something. Other Disney Live actions have been amazing but this one takes the cake Ignore all the negative reactions and see this movie
