A good conversion of the original. Not better, but almost equally good

Rating: 9/10 (14 April 2017)

I do not recommend to go to this movie if you did not see the original. You have to be a little nostalgic to appreciate the movie. But, supposing that everybody reading this review have already seen the original, I would suggest to watch it. Emma Watson is the perfect match for Bell. It gives the character exactly what it needs: confidence, independence, complexity and cleverness. Regarding the gay content, I do not understand why Disney included those unbigous scenes. It is a movie for kids so why do that? The movie would not have lost any value if the scenses were eliminated. Anyway, I have really enjoyed the movie. It is very similar to the original, but a little bit worse. However, if you are a little nostalgic as I was, you will really enjoy it, especially as the original soundtracks were kept.
