is a 2017 American musical romantic fantasy film directed by Bill Condon from a screenplay by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Mandeville Films, the film is a live action adaptation of Disney's 1991 animated film of the same name, itself an adaptation of Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's 1756 version of the fairy tale. Starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens as the eponymous Belle and the Beast, the film features an ensemble and choir cast including Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Audra McDonald, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ian McKellen, and Emma Thompson.
A live-action Beauty and the Beast remake was first announced in April 2014, with Condon hired to direct it; Watson, Stevens, Evans and the rest of the cast signed on between January and April 2015. Filming took place primarily at Shepperton Studios in England from May to August 2015. With an estimated budget of around $255 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.
1.The visuals are very dazzling to look at.
2.The songs, while some of them shoehorned, are still great.
•Even the Beast's song, Evermore (especially the version sang by Dan Stevens), is quite magnificent.
3.Beautiful cinematography, especially for the castle.
4.We get somewhat decent backstories to how Belle’s mother died (despite her name never mentioned, as previously stated before) and how the Beast turned into a selfish jerk when his father raised him.
5.The idea that the Enchanted Objects would turn into unanimated objects if the curse wasn't broken in time adds drama and tension to the film, whereas this wasn't mentioned in the original film and nothing seemed to indicate that the Beast's failure to break the curse would kill the servants (even though it was planned).
1.While feeling like unnecessary additions, the new songs are also great.
2.While the idea of having Agathe in a larger role may not have been well executed, others tolerate this change.
1.Bad CGI animation for the Beast and his enchanted servants.
2.While being more likable and fleshed out, the scene where he dances with Stanley is too controversial, which is why the film got banned in some nations.
3.Belle's signature gold ballgown is too bad.
4.The Final battle between Beast and Gaston is not too climatic and more violent since Gaston shoots the Beast three times.
5.While faithful to the original and borrowing some elements from the broadway and original fairy tale, this is too similar to the original animated film.
6.Very weak chemistry between Belle and the Beast, as they’re technically flanderized (depending on your perspective)
