A lot of women are begging to watch the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast which I guess Disney is doing live-action films based on the animated films which Disney has made in the past decade.

Mainly because they think they're better than the animated classics or they're not as good as the animated one's. Maybe I'm one of those people who think they're not as good as the original's. But now my sister put me a digital download of the live-action of Beauty and the Beast and had me watching all the way through.

So, what did I think of it? Well, I gotta say, I love it! I am so dazzled and thrilled by this film. My sister Jade made me watch it because she thinks it's beautiful and dazzling. Even I thought about as well.

The colours from this film are absolutely gorgeous and the CGI is also good as well. The songs are still the same, not as good as the original. Like Jade showed me the song called ''Gaston'' where Gaston and Lefou singing but some lyrics in this don't match up like ''I needed encouragement, thank you Lefou.

'' ''Well, there's no one as easy to bolster as you!'' and they're dancing on the table which reminds me of the theatre play based on this movie. Not to mention that Jade said that the acting is brilliant.

And she showed ''Be Our Guest'' with some absolute dazzling colours in it. It's just unbelievable! The rest of the songs are memorable like the original but two of them are not in the original. Or is it three of them? Three of the songs are called ''How Does A Moment Last Forever'' ''Days In The Sun'' and therefore ''Evermore''.

''Beauty and the Beast'' is sung by Emma Thompson who is the voice of Mrs Potts and the ending credits Ariana Grande and John Legend. Right now I can't that song out of my head where Beast played by Dan Stevens singing ''Evermore'', believing the fact that the song in the end credits is sung by Josh Groban.

It reminded me of Quasimodo singing ''Out There'' from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I can't stand new songs but ''Evermore'' is the one that will be stuck in my head for weeks the same way ''Gaston'' will be, along with the other songs from this.

Even the music sounded exactly the same, (like the most part) from beginning to end. It's Alan Menken. I think Ariana Grande and John legend will be the next Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson, much like Celine Dion had already sung ''How Does A Moment Last Forever''.

No matter what I can say, the songs will be stuck in my head forever much like the original like ''Gaston'' where the lyrics are hilarious like the part which I've been singing along to is this ''As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!'' and the funniest part which I never expected is this, ''Too much?'' ''Yep!'' Haha, that has me laughing.

I I have been teasing Simon and Meg about the live-action version by saying ''When it was announced it was Beauty and the Beast. Many fell into despair and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a Disney reboot.

However, from one critic, he has a bigger question in mind.'' ''What the fxxk is the point of rebooting Beauty and the Beast?'' I won't go in too much detail what I just said to tease Meg and Simon. Great cast in this like Dan Stevens, Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen, A women's interest Luke Evans, Josh Gad and my favourite actor, Kevin Kline.

It's directed by Bill Condon, the same guy who directed The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2, which many people think The Twilight films are absolutely sxxt and god-awful. I don't understand that Lefou is gay would be a controversial.

I didn't even see it, but who cares. The box office results are absolutely mind-blowing. It earned more than $ 1.263 billion over the $160 million budget while the original earned $425 million. That's a damn impressive feet! Well, I gotta tell you, guys, I really love this movie.

While I still prefer the original animation, the visuals are good, the characters are the same, the songs are unforgettable much like the animated version, it has great singing voices, the acting is the best and the ending is just beautiful.

Meg Gummerson and my sister Jade Oakey is a huge fan of this movie. Meg Gummerson, if you're looking at this, I just want you to know, Congratulations. And you, Jade, All I'm going to say to you, Jade, is thank you for making watch the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast.

You made me smile all the way through the film. God Bless England.
