Very Entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2019)

I am not a fan of musicals, and started to watch it on TV without realising it was one until the first song kicked in, although not a great song, it got a hook on me and I continued to watch, not able to tear myself away to pack my luggage for my flight the next day, It was lovely, very entertaining, lovely pictures.
Emma Watson is great as the 'Beauty' she is quite pretty, but that is not what this is about, its about inner beauty, which both she and the the 'Beast' have in bucket loads.
This film is well made, well directed, great pace, lovely scenes, fantastic photography and CGI, not one actor/singer is poor, I read some people said Miss Watson can't sing, were they watching the same film ? She sings great as do all the cast, with supporting actors of the calibre of Kevin Kline and Emma Thompson, voices of Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci and Ian McKellen, the younger actors of Dan Stevens and Luke Evans are very good as well, as are all the rest (too many to name), not one song is poor, and one is likely to remain in the memory, the last one.
For anyone reading these reviews ignore the poor ones they are not accurate, it is a very good film, and this comes from someone who does not like musicals!
