Review of Beauty and the Beast (2017) by Jadora — 23 Mar 2017

I was somewhat excited to see this movie only to be disappointed as soon as I heard Emma Watson was cast as belle. I don't think in all honesty she can act whatsoever, I feel like her performance as Belle was just basically Emma renamed for the production, as in Harry Potter she was very suited to the role however I felt that character also was not acting it was simply herself but a snotty know it all.

Emma certainly brought no joy or passion to the movie, emotions none existent, song very flat the best part was Gaston and Le Fou but even Luke Evans wasn't that great, he was somewhat okay but there was not enough ego for Gaston.

Scenes, Added and none existent; a slave to all original Disney movies the fact that songs, scenes were added whilst other scenes from the original were missed leaves it very poor. Gaston doesn't ask Le fou to strike up the band for her proposal, it simply doesn't happen.

The opening scene was unnecessary Lumiere looked like a cheap Monopoly piece, not like the cute one from the cartoon that looks like hers wearing a turtle neck, the furniture ect... weren't as cute looking like the original I might expect too much but the CGI for the beast was exactly that, too much! Added songs killed my soul I got bored quickly the back story for belle wasn't that needed.

I felt like an original story was changed as if it was from a different perspective like Malificient but that film was great! That was the same story with a slight twist not something changed and over sold.

I am really gutted this film turned out the way it has. Lets hope they don't flatten anything else we have like they did with Bad and the boring.
