An almost perfect live-action adaptation to the original

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2018)

Growing up I had to watch a lot of Disney Princess films. I have five younger siblings and four of them are girls - so I saw them all. Fortunately, I never found them to be bad and I actually always really enjoyed "Beauty and the Beast."
So seeing that there was going to be a live-action "Beauty and the Beast" intrigued me and fortunately - I also really enjoyed it.
I have to say that this was a perfect adaptation to the original. They never went out of their way to try to make it something different or unique and I'm glad they didn't.
The visuals and set design was phenomenal and all of the actors did a really great job.
My favorite part of the original though was the music and this one doesn't disappoint. There were a few moments where I didn't think Emma Watson gave the best performance she could musically. She definitely looks the part, playing a stunning Belle, and again, the acting is great, but there are moments where her singing falls a bit flat. Not bad, she's a good singer, but not necessarily great at times.
Other than that little nitpick, I really love this film and it's made me want to go back and rewatch the original.
