Was it necessary? No. Was it pretty good? Yes

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2017)

Yeah this movie didn't need to be made but Disney doesn't care. They're gonna do as many live action movies as they can and we can't stop them.
You know the plot.
Anyway, I'll list the things I didn't like because I liked more things: 1. Emma Watson's singing voice. It was weak and lacked passion. 2. The 'gay' moment. It was small and not gay enough. Le Fou, a notable buffoon, gay? Kind of silly. Disney should spend their time making original characters who are gay. 3. They didn't include the song 'Home' from the Broadway show. This would have been okay if they didn't include the music for that song.
I loved a lot of things. I loved the movie. I was really surprised considering the live action Cinderella was kind of dumb.
Things I LOVED: 1. The song 'Evermore' 2. How they explained Belle's mother absence (both the explanation and the scene). 3. Josh Gad 4. The added characteristics for Belle and the Beast.
I liked everything else.
So before you bash this movie because Disney's greed to make more money, watch it.
