cinephile-27690 The animated movie is a gem-it was my favorite movie for a while and it was the first animated movie to get nominated for Best Picture. There were many flaws noticed in the original, so that is one of the reasons it was remade is that many of the flaws are fixed. For example-why were the Beast's servants cursed as well? The Beast is the wrong doer! Actually, Mrs. Potts points out that they let the Beast become spoiled rotten, so they earned their punishment. There's a few added songs-they are fine but don't really stand out to the originals. I saw this in a packed theater and we all had a great time in the theaters. Despite being a theater, when Gaston sang "As a specimen, yes I'm intimidating!" literally everyone in the theater sang out: "Oh, my, what a guy that Gaston!" That in itself shows how fun the movie is. Yes, you know what's next, and how it ends, and how the songs go-but so what?This remake of Beauty and the Beast is one of the most entertaining movies released in recent years.

moley_molo Remakes of original films always make me cringe - you can never beat an original, even if it is a bad one.I'm not fully against this remake but I feel with Disney and their budget they could have done and made it a lot better.My main gripe were the accents - fairly dodgey especially in the songs. Some can pull it off but Ewan Mcgregor isn't remotely French in this film, Emma Watsons singing has been extremely enhanced and takes away from her natural voice.As a story, it's tried and tested through the original - even if there is a plot flaw (not saying there is one) it is a Disney classic and the charm of that is there overpowering the flaws.Could have done better though Disney...

coka-carica I really cant find the words to put my disatisfaction with this movie the best way i can. At one hand i really enjoyed the graphics and in general whole production was great, the songs, designs , even the story was ok when observed detached from the whole movie, BUT once it all is merged together with actors and all.... it was just not.... good. I did like Gaston.

Aasemoon It took me a while to find the guts to actually go ahead and watch this one. I loved the 1991 version as a kid, and I was really quite afraid that the new movie would completely ruin the magic. Especially given some of the reviews. Now that I finally have done it, I'm happy to say that I am not disappointed at all.Good story telling, good acting, and quite the appropriate amount of cheese. The movie stays entirely faithful to the original story, for which I'm really glad. It's also such a treat for the eyes and the ears that for this alone I think I'll be watching it again.
