A movie you will enjoy if you like musicals and Disney

Rating: 8/10 (9 April 2017)

Since I knew about this production I was anxious of seeing it. Especially after watching "The Jungle Book", which impressed me a lot because of the incredible special effects. I had very high expectations about this movie. Even tho I loved the movie there were some details that I didn't like that much and some others that in my opinion were very clever because helped getting in the mood of this fairy tale and the made it a little bit more "real". But, before getting into that, I would like to talk about one of the topics of the film which is the relationships between characters. I liked that in this film you can see different types of relationships (mother and son, best friends, lovers...) that could perfectly represent relations of your daily life. In my case this made me think about my friend and family. What I most liked about the movie were the scenery, which I found charming; the costumes, some of them were incredibly beautiful and very accurate; and that in the film are explained details (like why was winter in the castle or what happened to Belle's mother) that weren't in the previous film. I also loved most of the cast specially Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Luke Evans and Audra McDonald. I really appreciate the fact that some scenes were exactly like in the cartoon film of 1991 and that they took back some details that did not appear in the previous film but were in the first book (which author has the same name that the village in this new film). However, there were some things which I did not enjoy the most, for example, in this film was not included the song "If I can't love her" that in my opinion is the best of the whole musical. Instead the have created I knew song called "Evermore". I wouldn't say that it's an awful song, but the other one is definitely better. Nevertheless, I loved the song "Days in he sun" that they also created for this film. I would have loved if the had recorded the song while they were acting, like it was done in "Les Miserables". Due to I think that would have made the songs transmit a lot more emotion. In truth, this was a movie that I really enjoyed watching and that ended up complying with most of my expectations. I recommend this film, owing to is not too heavy and is that kind of film that will make you leave the cinema smiling.
