Stunning movie not ISIS motivated, doesn't promote domestic violence, nor anti gay but Emma Watson was no Belle of the ball

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 2017)

First of all, my review won't be like one commenter from Japan who declared that the movie is "anti-gay" when the movie finally portrays a Homosexual character (that some reviewers find it hard to accept gay people exist), or as she pointed out the Enchantress is like ISIS in Syria because of punishing a smug Prince and his guests, dear me! If she watched the animation that has the same "ISIS" concept then she lost the plot. Including nonsense about Stockholm Syndrome, when it is about two people developing a soul and connection in each other, or one reviewer said it "promotes domestic violence". Don't watch it with your inane sensitivity and warped crazy logic. Simple as that!
So on to the Review. The Cartoon animation of Beauty and the Beast (1991) was one of my favourite Disney movies besides The Lion King. The movies back then capture your heart and imagination and all ages find this appealing.
Since Cinderella the Disney movies become real life motion pictures with a touch of Magic, or well made CGI. Cinderella was amazing.
Now Beauty and the Beast has this same treatment, there is a more detailed introduction than the animation about Prince Adam who is handsome but vain and turned cruel, and the Beautiful Enchantress that disguised as a Hag in offering a Rose, had put him under a spell as a Mephistopheles hulking looking creature, along with everyone inside the palace, including the Guests which became a enchanting prison.
Years passed when 17 year old well read Belle (Watson) is pursued by Gaston (Luke Evans) until her Papa (Kevin Kline) is caught captive during his Journey into a mysterious Castle. She pursued after him with the help of the Family Horse "Philippe" to embark risk and fate.
In this Movie, a lot of famous dialogue was refrained in respect of the original masterpiece, which is a good thing. Some of the cast did a good job, Gaston, Lefou are the best characters and Plummette is beautiful and probably should have played Belle, because when I heard Emma Watson was chosen I wasn't that excited she seemed more tomboyish, Belle in animation is the prettiest Disney Princess and I imagined Leah Pipes, Emma Roberts, or even a girl like Lana del Rey that looks like a doll and full rosebud mouth if you catch my drift, and Belle was supposed to be quirky and well-read but Emma Watson wasn't at all. Years ago Disneywords on Twitter suggested Anne Hathaway as real life Belle which was a good choice as I saw "the Devil wears Prada" so what went wrong? She is still young enough and gorgeous.
However I love the special effects on the characters and rococo 18th century french setting which I did enjoy, the CGI wolves are okay, maybe the movie makers don't want to use real wolves for some reason. The end credits have a golden Hollywood feel, it is like you come out of the opera House and you buy a DVD of the musical play and it is set up especially for you.
My overall reaction it was enjoyable and love both the Animation in the 1990's and this movie, glad to see there are some African actors in the village because they did exist in France in that era, but I wished they didn't pick Emma Watson because she is nothing like the Cartoon nor has warmth as the original Belle.
One more thing, lighten up it is only a fairy tale, don't get political and personal about it.
