Review of Beauty and the Beast (2017) by Robbob99 — 01 Apr 2017

This is a tough film for me to judge. There isn't anything downright bad about the film. It's beautiful to look at and the cast members are all solid in their roles. However, I never found myself thinking that this film needed to be made and nothing about it really built on the existing mythology that enhanced it.

Take the 2015 Cinderella, while it was a recreation of the original, the filmmakers made the characters stronger and built on the story to make it a more solid movie. That really isn't done here that's impactful to the story and in the end, it did just feel like a recreation of a great movie.
