Review of Beastly (2011) by Maggie F — 11 Dec 2011
Beastly was an interesting modern take on Beauty and the Beast. That being said, the movie was somewhat predictable but I did find myself still wondering what was going to happen in the end. Would he make it in time or not? Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens did a pretty nice job as the leads here.
Kyle (Pettyfer) is a very arrogant and obnoxious character early on but you can see the better side of him shining through at times when he is interacting with Lindy. Neil Patrick Harris really shines here as Kyle's blind tutor.
He has some great lines and does a very nice job playing a blind character. I do think that they could have made Kyle look a little worse while in "Beast" mode. He did look worse than I thought from the trailers but she should have made him lose his physique.
Lastly, the music here was really good. It fit with the movie very well.
