Beauty and The Beast (2017) Review

Sorry that this review is late but the theater that I go to kept selling out of tickets three days in a row so I had to see it on a Monday. Anyways here's my belated review for this movie.

Beauty and The Beast is musical romance fantasy film directed by Bill Condon and written by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos. It's co-produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Mandevillie Films. The movie is a live-action remake of the 1991 film of the same name based on the French tale by Jeanne-Marie de Beaumont.

The story is the exact same as the previous film, Belle's father Maurice(Kevin Kline) is captured by the Beast(Dan Stevens) then Belle(Emma Watson) takes his place then they fall in love. Meanwhile the narcissistic hunter Gaston(Luke Evans) wants Belle to br his trophy wife and then the two suitors will come into conflict with one another.

• Negative

I really don't have anything bad to say.

• Mix

I guess the only thing you could have mix feelings about is the film is a retread of Disney's first Beauty and The Beast film. But I can't really say that's a bad thing because of the way the film is designed.

• Positives

One positive thing to say about this movie is the sets and CGI. The designs from the Beast's castle, Belle's village, and the forest are all done very well and a gorgeous to look at. The CGI on the Beast and the other characters such as Lumiere and Mrs. Potts, the wolfs, and the mirror are very polished and amazingly done.




Now let's talk about our stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens are great as Belle and The Beast I really believed they were playing their respected characters. Luke Evans also does a fantastic job as Gaston he played the character to a perfect ten.




Another thing the film done right was it's music. Each and every song got just the right amount of time to shine. Like I said in my review for 1991 film I'm not into musicals but both these versions of the film do well on their music and loved everyone of these songs.




I also want to give this film credit for giving us something new to this tale in a film format because while somethings are a reenactment of the previous film this does give us something else. For one instance the Beast doesn't need to be taught anything by Belle he already knows when he's in the wrong.




The last thing I will say about this film is it's humor. The humor in this film works the comedy will get a laugh out of you but I wouldn't say anything that will make laugh nonstop. Most of the humor goes from Lumiere, Cogsworth, and LeFou. All the parts with them really worked.





Beauty and The Beast while at times does to the exact same things as the previous film it does put in some new things in it, the sets and the CGI are beautiful done, the cast does a perfect job as their respected roles, the music is a blast to here, once again Belle's and the Beast's relationship is developed very well, and the humor will make you laugh.





My final rating for this film is Great.
