Beauty and the Beast creates an air of enchantment from its first moments, one that lingers and builds and takes on qualities of warmth and generosity as it goes along.
Its classicism feels unforced and fresh. Its romance neither winks nor panders. It looks good, moves gracefully and leaves a clean and invigorating aftertaste. I almost didn’t recognize the flavor: I think the name for it is joy.
"Beauty and the Beast" accomplishes the remarkable feat of breathing new life into a beloved classic. The performances of Emma Watson, Josh Gad, Luke Evans, and Dan Stevens are nothing short of extraordinary, each actor infusing their character with a depth and charisma that resonates throughout the film.
Emma Watson's embodiment of Belle is a revelation, capturing the character's intelligence, strength, and compassion with a grace that's truly enchanting. Josh Gad brings delightful humor to the role of LeFou, while Luke Evans's Gaston is both charismatic and compelling. And in Dan Stevens's Beast, we witness a captivating transformation from isolation to vulnerability, adding a layer of emotional resonance to the narrative.
The film's visual splendor is only matched by its stunning music, seamlessly intertwining Alan Menken's iconic melodies with new enchanting compositions. The musical numbers are a celebration of nostalgia and innovation, capturing the magic of the original while breathing fresh life into the story.
"Beauty and the Beast" is a testament to the power of storytelling, visual artistry, and remarkable performances. It's a cinematic masterpiece that invites both fans of the animated classic and new audiences to be swept away by a tale as old as time, brought to life in a way that's nothing short of magical.
The whole movie is lit in that fascinatingly artificial honeyglow light, and it runs smoothly on rails – the kind of rails that bring in and out the stage sets for the lucrative Broadway touring version.
The clock, Cogsworth, serves as a perfect metaphor for the production itself: The movie’s just as poky and lumbering as he is while huffing up the staircase to escort Belle to her bedroom.
It’s largely a frustrating clone of the original movie — same songs, same script, often even the exact same shot choices — but it replaces every moment of authentic or moving emotion with bombast and hyperbolic overemphasis.
I love this movie I love that Emma Watson was in it has Belle she did a good job this is a really good live action beauty and the beast not going to lie hehe
Very disappointed in this movie. I was expecting it to be as good as the cartoon one, but it wasn't. It was actually kind of boring. I also didn't buy in to thier chemistry at all. It looked really cool though.
As live-action Disney remakes go, not the worst. But still, overly gaudy. I did enjoy how the ending had a bit more weight than the original, but other than that, not very memorable. The CG is so "perfect" looking that it looks like the characters are standing in front **** painting in certain scenes. I just wish Disney would have spent more time developing new stories instead of rehashing old ones.
The appeal of this movie is 50% Emma Watson's charm and 50% nostalgia, which sums a total of 0% value attributable to the film itself. Will be forgotten in the shelf of Meh in less than a year.
Shallow tension, unbelievable acting and stiff singing. Why does Bell have to be pretty when it comes to beauty?
Disney seems to be politically correct, so you should not watch the movie. Like a croissant with too much butter, far from the good taste
