Movie 2017: Beauty and Beast


A long overdue review highlights of what-haves and what-nots of the movie, Beauty and the Beast.

Beauty and the Beast 


Director: Bill Condon (that same guy who gave you Twilight: Breaking Dawn)
Stars: Emma Watson (Belle), Dan Stevens (Beast), Luke Evans (Gaston),  Kevin Kline (Maurice),  Josh Gad (LeFou),  Emma Thompson (Mrs Potts), Ewan Mcgregor (Lumiere)
Runtime: 129 minutes
Opening Date: March 23 2017

Merit Points to the movie:


A retelling of a tale as old as time. Based on Disney's 1991 version of the same title.


The dance at the great ballroom. Anticipating for the dance was like waiting for the Quidditch game come to life. Belle waiting at the corner staircase was like watching Hermoine at her Yule Ball.


This was the scene where Belle had to run up a hill and sing "Belle (Reprise)", reminiscing Julie Andrews singing "Sound of Music".




Misses of the movie 
Emma Watson's singing - It did not come at par with her Broadway-trained co-stars. They should have opted for a different person doing the singing. 


CG of the beast - It was way over the top that will give the kids nightmare. ( It was the stuff nightmares are made out of )



Overall
The movie is enjoyable. Another win for Disney.

Rating 
4 out of 5 stars
