Eh?

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2017)

If you saw the animated version, then you have seen this movie. It's the same as the animated movie only live action. There was absolutely no reason for this movie to be made besides as an easy cash cow for Disney cashing in on the nostalgia of fans of the original. This movie brings nothing extra to the table.It took no chances and pandered to feminists and LGBT members when it wasn't necessary. There was no need to make a big deal of the blink and you miss it gay scene. There was also no need to make Gaston's sidekick gay or in love with Gaston. As far as the ballroom scene, it wasn't as mesmerizing as the original. I'm not a fan of Beauty and the Beauty. It's not my favorite Disney movie, but I must admit the ballroom scene was a masterpiece by itself and the best part of the original. I think the movie should have taken a chance and used the concept of the moral of the story and use it in a new twist like the numerous adaptions of the Cinderella movies do from the cheesier ones to the better ones like Ever After or Ella Enchanted.I checked it out. I loved the ending especially the clock's reaction, which caused me to actually laugh. I really wish they did not CGI Dan Stevens' Beast. So it wasn't a bad movie, but you can't mess with perfection. Love or hate it, the original was a masterpiece and this one does not compare.
