Review of Beauty and the Beast (2017) by Daniel17 — 02 May 2017

I hate this remake. It's absolutely terrible. It's one of the worst Disney live-action remakes I've ever seen. It's the same story of the original all over again, it wants to be better than the original, but it's not, the CGI looks like it came straight out of a Nintendo Wii game, it looks terrible by the way, same goes for the production designs which doesn't translate well into live-action, instead of trying to be faithful to the original animated film, it copies everything about the whole original like the musical numbers, which is a rehash I guess, the new songs are forgettable (except for Evermore which I'll talk about later), the new character designs of Beast (He looks too humanoid and handsome) and the Enchanted Objects look hideous, the pacing is terrible, it drags on, because it had too many pointless subplots and filler that really distracted the whole entire plot, lack of chemistry and bond between Belle and the Beast, I don't feel like it, and the characters are so bland, lacking any sort of charm and spirit that they have in the original.

Any positives? Well, just of them. The cast and their performances are pretty good, they did try, despite the material they've been given which was crap, in other words, no matter how good the casts' performances are, they can't even outmatch the cast from the original.

Evermore is the best song of the entire film, Dan Stevens' singing really does help. It was catchy, emotional, beautiful, powerful and well orchestrated. It might not save the entire soundtrack from being rehashed from the original, but it's still a one heck of a song that many kids and families can hear it again and again.

Overall, despite the positives, this remake is terrible. It's beyond rubbish. It's a complete waste of time. I'm not watching it again. It's just a Disney live-action remake that nobody asked for. Everyone if you love the original so much, then chances are, you might hate this remake.

I highly suggest you to stay away from this piece of beast crap. If you haven't seen the original and if you wanted to watch the remake, then this is for you. On the other hand, it's the worst Disney live-action remake I've ever seen.

Stay away from this movie.
