Astonishing!

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2017)

I don't really write reviews on movies. I like reading them though. And to be fair, I have never even written a review before. But a movie as beautiful as Beauty And The Beast deserves to be noticed. So before you read, go ahead. Tell me I'm exaggerating. Because, honestly I don't really care if you thought the movie was great or just utter rubbish. The movie was indeed great and made me want to watch it again for the FOURTH time.
Okay, on to my discussion:
First of all, I am just one of those casual moviegoers who like to watch movies that are always popping up in the Internet of how great it is. So one day, I was just surfing the web and I found something rather exciting. Disney was making a live-adaptation of their beloved animated classic, Beauty And The Beast. And I felt like a kid again. Beauty And The Beast was one of my favorite Disney movies of all time and will always have a special place in my heart. After a few months, they had released a trailer that blew up over the Internet. It looked stunning and magical. Everyone was talking about it.
Then it started popping up on Google advertisements. Then on television. Even starring on network commercials in my country. And there was a sudden urge to go into the theater and watch it right then and there. And so I did. When I got there, all seats were taken on THREE different theaters. Was it really that hyped? I felt disappointed. So I thought that I'll go ahead and wait for it next week (because it obviously would go for a second week), to empty the space. The next week I go into the theater yet again... And it was still FULL. Whaaaat?! It's already been a week, yet there's still so much moviegoers. Luckily, I remembered to reserve online in case this would happen. ;)
I got inside and went through the boring advertisements and got out smiling.
Beauty And The Beast is enchanting, entertaining and magical in its own way. And I tell you, DON'T believe the negative reviewers. They just thought that it sucked because it didn't match the original. Maybe it didn't exceed their favor for the original. But from a blind-audience's perspective of both movies, they did a really great job of bringing the movie to life. There wasn't a single set that seemed extraordinary. All were immersing in its set up. In a small provincial town and its townspeople wearing those goofy headdresses that made it look like it was actual real. The musical numbers were great and the choreography was perfect. With my favorite being "Be Our Guest." The cast was great and the acting was on point. Not to mention Dan and Emma's roles as quirky but pretty Belle and the horrifying Beast as they find their love for each other despite their differences. I literally was jumping on my seat smiling whenever they both had a scene together. Oh! And the ending made me CRY like a bitch. Which I didn't even feel when I watched the original. I loved Gaston and Le Fou's funny attitude. Le Fou and Lumiere has got to be my favorites!
The only problem was the clear auto-tuning which, to be honest, wasn't really much of a bother to me and I wish that the movie could have been a little bit longer just to add in some extra scenes of Belle and the Beast. :3
What more is there not to love?!
New songs, beautiful sets, stunning costumes, romance, and EMMA WATSON! And what do you get? Well, just might be the best movie ever in 2017 (As of now, that is).
Over all 9.5/10. ðŸ˜€
P.S. Not looking forward for The Little Mermaid :P
