Beautiful, heart-warming, loved it.

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2017)

The movie felt like a lovely live action edition of the classic cartoon movie from 1991, with a fitting modern touch. I love that they managed to capture the charm and magic of the story in the way they did, from the songs to the effects to the beast itself. I was actually scared at first that the Beast would look silly (had not seen trailers), but when finally seeing him, loved what they had done. I did not expect the movie to stay so true to the original toon, while also helping understand some potential plot holes from the original (in a way that makes perfect sense). Overall, loved it. Am glad i went to see it. And i'm a guy, in case you were wondering....and still liked it.
Some people hate on the acting, cgi, story etc.. I say Do Not Listen.. I liked the original, loved this one. The acting is good, the cgi is smooth, the story stays true. They wanted the movie to be lifelike and yet retain the original "technicolor" charm, hence the vivid tones and effects.. It's not like this is some Maleficent situation, which completely remade everything just to feature the main character's actor.
