Not bad, but not as great as expected. Deceiving trailer.

Rating: 5/10 (19 March 2017)

Firstly I have to say it, have we been watching the same movie? Emma Watson just wasn't able to pull off Belle, she did her best but I didn't buy it. Her smile never feels sincere or have much warmth in it, her default expression always seems angry, which is also out of her control but not the right fit for Belle. As others have stated she isn't at the peak of her craft yet. Some of the humour takes away from the mystique of the film. The other actors did well and the CGI was incredible. The commercial sort of made the movie out to be less of a musical but that wasn't the case. There is tons of singing in the film, which I felt was deceiving as I thought there would only be maybe 2 songs in it, it wasn't overdone but I just anticipated a big change. The last 15 minutes of the film is very entertaining but as a whole the film won't be among the top Disney films ever made. Still a decent film and easy on the eyes. The visuals are the biggest winner and main reason to watch more than once.
