I have a number of fairy tale films I like seeing just because I'm busy sewing or something and need some motivation. I saw it on Netflix and didn't think I'd like it, but I found myself engaged. I won't go into the entire story because enough people have for those to get the gist of what's it about. I enjoyed the cinematography, the CGI wasn't as annoying as some people found it. This film definitely brings you the magic of an enchanted forest and castle. Again, if you like fairy tales that are a bit dark and enchanting and you need something to pass the time, then this film is for you.Now, what I didn't like was what everyone else found fault with. I didn't see how Belle could go from having such a horrible dislike for the Beast to loving him in the space of a day. There weren't enough scenes that showed a budding relationship between them and then with her getting flashes of his past to see what a jerk he'd been, that's definitely not to going to win him any points. It basically just comes down to a rich, magical dude using things instead of his personal qualities to get the girl.I'd wish Gans had stuck more to the original story where the Beast, in the book, had many conversations with Belle and his well treatment of her and the dreams would have been about the handsome prince (and I don't know why Cassel was cast for the role of the prince because he just didn't fit, which also could have affected the lack of dynamic between he and Seydoux, who I think did fine as Belle). I know he was probably trying to be more "American" by focusing on all the action, but I think too much time was spent on the dreams of the beast's backstory. Also, I would have liked to see more interaction between Belle and the puppy critters. She says they became her best friends but they never had any personal contact at all.However, if you just want to drown in the enchanting scenery and gorgeous costumes, you can forgive the cons.

The only reason I am rating this movie is because the movie has got very low rating. I absolutely loved the characters, graphics and the actors. I have seen the movie about three times already! I made everyone I know watch it. I would have rated it 10 on 10 if the chemistry shown between the two was more vibrant and also the ending was redundant(you will know what I mean, when you see it).I was blown away by CGI. If you have liked Tangled or Anastasia, you will like this too!Must watch if you like fairytale movies! This is one of those FEEL GOOD MOVIES.

Beauty and the Beast is another proof that French cinematography is on par with current Hollywood blockbusters in terms of CGI and outperforms them in storytelling. It might be wrong to generalize like this, but the previous sentence can't be negated in any serious discussion.Beauty and the Beast is, hopefully, a fairy tale known to everyone. Discussing the script or actors' performance would be beyond the point. The story is retold in a visually perfect manner. Actually, this is in line with movies in which a superhero does the same thing one more time, but with a different lead actor and targeting the audience that was too young to witness the previous installment.The best thing about this movie is the atmosphere. It is indeed a fairy tale, with some passion and some action, but it never becomes sleazy or boring.

Heyyyy this amazing tale is coming in very high definition idea and brilliant performance of casting and also of last modern technology. I like this movie a lot and i have to say that sometimes there were some "cold spots". These "cold spots" mean that the drama of this scenario is going down sometimes and i don't know why...i cannot accept this and cannot tolerate this brilliant story to not be so perfect as we have been used to hear or read it since hundred years ago. The director had the all possibilities to do this movie more perfect than it is. Everything goes like a wave, like a dream and i lost into this play. congratulatons!
