Review of Beauty and the Beast (2017) by Barny — 21 Mar 2017

Well, if Autotune is what you enjoy then you will be in for the treat of a decade. The cast is mismatched: Lefou should have been played by Jack Black, Belle should have been played by another actress (Watson is a one-trick pony and it show so prominently) , Gaston is too much of a weakling.

There is also far more animation in this "live action" than in the original cartoon but in the same time, both the cast and director managed to loose the lifelikeness of the original production (that is a pretty neat trick in itself).

I give it a big fat 0 at it deserve little more than that, it is a mere lifeless derivative rehash. If only they had used ideas from the movie with Jean Marais, I may even had understood. But not even close: this one product is made to entertain consumers.
