It was only bad if you liked the first Disney version. Great if you hated it

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2017)

If you liked the first Disney movie perhaps this movie is not for you. I fell asleep during the first.I am a major fairy tale geek and what I wanted was to be swept away by the enchanted castle. I was. I would have stayed there with him looking ugly for a great library, no noise and a wonderful partner. The servants were great talking inanimate objects who were calm and pleasant. In fact the real prince was kind of wimpy. It would have been harder to live with him. The actors were all good, especially Kevin Kline and the songs were quite fine if you like that sort of thing. But if like me you wanted a breath taking castle which is why you went to the movie - if you liked the French version of Beauty and the Beast and hated Disney, this may be your movie.
