Review of Beauty and the Beast (2017) by The3Academysins — 24 Oct 2017

Beauty and The Beast mostly tries it's best to stay faithful to the original while adding some new elements, but this live action remake had some odd directorial choices that left me scratching my head.

I wanted to LOVE this movie, but it's only kind of all right. Evermore is a great new song, Luke Evans is a great Gaston, and Emma Watson is a great choice for Belle. Some moments were milked way too much and others weren't given ample time to develop.

There are some moments of tonal confusion, but there are worse ways to spend two hours.
