March 17, 20178 yr I wasn't really drawn in by most of the songs and overall I think I preferred 'Cinderella' from a couple of years ago but it was enjoyable enough. Great cast, Emma and the talking furniture were all highlights (any scenes not involving them I was much less interested in) and the ending was quite emotional. The Prince didn't do much for me, his look was too geared towards Joseph's tastes. Not going to be one of my movie highlights of the year, but I think a large portion of my excitement to see it was based on all the hype coming from everywhere else.
March 17, 20178 yr I thought this was absolutely fantastic! So much better than Cinderella!!! BRING ON MULAN
March 18, 20178 yr I saw this yesterday and i thought it was incredible! One of the best films I've seen, loved everything about it. It was the first film I've seen in IMAX 3D as well.
March 18, 20178 yr I was expecting to love this anyway but it did definitely live up to expectations, probably my second favourite live-action Disney remake (behind the Jungle Book but that was a massive improvement on the original and the effects were phenomenal) and also probably my favourite film of 2017 to date! It was pretty much an exact copy of the perfect original animated film with a few little changes that dampened it a little (over-the-top LeFou was ridiculous in this, Angela Lansbury >> Emma Thompson (stupid cockney accents ruined the title song...) and the new songs weren't half as good as the old classics (Belle, Beauty and the Beast and Be Our Guest really are some of the best film tracks ever produced!!)). Saying that, Emma Watson was fantastic as Belle, incredibly charismatic and she made the role feel very warm, something I think she's failed to do in any role since Hermione! I also think Ewan McGregor's french accent was a lot of fun and it was just so nice to see such an enchanting tale visualised in a live-action way now too, some of it felt so magical (I loved the golden parts coming to life on her dress :heart:). Absolutely adored it really and can't wait to see it again! Roll on the Little Mermaid, Lion King and Mulan remakes!!1
March 19, 20178 yr ^^ Don't forget the 'Aladdin' remake! :o Oooooh yes, that too! And Cruella and Mary Poppins to look forward to as well, so buzzed for all of these! :w00t:
March 19, 20178 yr I was expecting to love this anyway but it did definitely live up to expectations, probably my second favourite live-action Disney remake (behind the Jungle Book but that was a massive improvement on the original and the effects were phenomenal) Same for me really, though I possibly enjoyed Cinderella a bit more because I think it translated well. Be Our Guest was the clear highlight for me. For me it's The Jungle Book > Cinderella/Beauty & The Beast >>>> Alice in Wonderland >>> Maleficent
March 20, 20178 yr Having only seen the original about 2 times in my life (the first time was only a few years ago!!!) I enjoyed it, I just didn't think it was quite as good as others made out. So going into this, I had a bit of a different frame of mind to everyone else, I think. I thought that the trailers looked impressive and thought it was going to be staying so close to the original, which is what was needed... I saw this yesterday and I LOVED it! Thought it was very well done and although it's a new film it obviously feels familiar. The added backstory parts weren't particularly needed, but I understood the reasons for including them! Dan Stevens as The Beast was brilliant! Luke Evans really shone as Gaston too and I just can't get over how perfect the choices and casting for Cogsworth, Lumière and Mrs Potts were! Particularly Ewan as Lumière! :wub: Emma really sold Belle well, too.
April 16, 20178 yr Really loved this! :wub: The animation is one of the first movies I ever saw, and seeing it in live action made me feel oddly emotional. I actually shed a tear when the servants became inanimate, which made me feel so ridiculous as I obviously knew the curse was about to be broken... :lol: Emma Watson was perfect in the role. Luke Evans made me realise that I fancy Gaston. x
