cheekyapple-56320 This blew me away. I couldn't believe how much I loved it. I have attention deficit disorder and I actually sat and watched this without doing anything else, getting up, or looking away. That almost never happens and I cannot stress that enough. The film looks stunning and has high quality camera work and art direction. The costuming is incredible. The casting and acting is top notch (truly). But what I especially appreciate and what really stood out for me and tempted me to write a review was that this was not the same scripted tale of Beauty and the Beast we have been over saturated with by Disney. This is a new story and not predictable and much more adult even. Yes there is still that question of whether Belle is just suffering from the syndrome that kidnap victims can get for their captors but at least he is smart and when they bicker it's believable there is chemistry. I recommend this and trust me that it's not the same story over again, it is quite different.

Paul Van Jaarsveld Not going to write a long winded review. My wife and I had a look at the "2017 Disney Emma Watson" musical released recently, and it was rather terrible. I am not personally into broad way musical kind of stuff, and I could not stand it. This 2014 version the French made just jells a lot better for me. I can't speak more than 5 words French, but I loved this version of the story and how it unfolds. The graphics and cinematography was also excellent. Visually very stimulating. Well worth your time.

Nick Di Mario The movie had some really strange moments. In my personal preference, I didn't like that Belle wasn't pure of heart. One of the first signs was when she first caught a glimpse of the Beast when he was standing behind her, her natural reaction was to grab a knife from the table and try to stab him.The next part I really didn't like was when she got angry that she couldn't see her family, she verbally wrecked the beast for not being a man, so much so to make him run away. After all of this, she witnesses him eating and runs in terror. He chases her down and pounces on her. After this sequence in which he both puts her life in danger by weakening the ice, than saves her. She is now in love with him... The family was annoying and not entertaining and I skipped Gaston almost completely. The only part of this movie that really caught me was the golden deer scene. That was a strong plot point, but not strong enough to save the empty relationship of Belle+Beast.

adonis98-743-186503 An unexpected romance blooms after the the youngest daughter of a merchant who has fallen on hard times offers herself to the mysterious beast to which her father has become indebted. Beauty and the Beast is a movie that suffers from boring characters and a story that has been told 1.000.000 times by now and it's getting confusing, boring and bad and this version proves it this is not Disney or that 80's show with Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton instead we have untalented Vincent Cassel as the Beast and Léa Seydoux as Belle who does a nice job after 15 or 20 minutes pass you will start skip scenes for the film to reach it's finale. Plus the cgi was awful this film gets a non recommend without a doubt.
