One of the improvements in the current version is in the characterization of LeFou (Josh Gad), Gaston's sidekick. This goes against the consensus on two counts. I found the animated version admirable but over-rated. I believe the current film is superior to the earlier one. Speaking of outcasts, I feel like one myself in my assessments of this modern film and its predecessor. Across the dangerous woods is a beast (Dan Stevens) who lives in a castle in which he used to be a prince. Reviewed by proud_luddite 8 / 10 / 10 Far more than I expectedĪ live-action/CGI remake of the 1991 animated musical: Belle (Emma Watson) is an intelligent outcast in her provincial town, pursued by the egomaniacal Gaston (Luke Evans). TL DR - Over-CGI'd-musical-number-heavy mess attempts to distract you from the fan-service-and-needless-backstory-filled plot so that you don't realize what you are watching is just shiny, saccharine- glazed vomit. It might be true, but it's also true that I have higher standards for my movies. Leave it to my boy Jon Favreau to retell an old story with fake animals and make it feel more real and original than anything in B&TB. It was a similar story, but they didn't rely completely on it. They took the old one, used a couple of the songs, but made it completely their own. Want to know a CGI-heavy Disney remake that they did right? Surprisingly enough. I'm not going to apologize for wanting more for my LGBTQ characters than to be just the comic relief. It was the only thing that added levity to the movie (despite how much fun it should have been already), but it seemed a bit cheap. They poured on the whole "LeFou is gay" thing a bit thick for my taste. They should have just done a movie about their war adventures and I would've been happy. No song needed.Īnd since when is Gaston NOT a baritone? To be fair, though, Gaston and LeFou were the best thing about this whole mess. You understood his sorry and his sacrifice. He was supposed to be in pain and the moment in the original film where he roared out the window was perfect. The Beast was fine, but his song after Belle left totally ruined the moment. Don't get me started on Ewan McGregor's horrible accent and lazy singing. I'm sure she tried really hard, but she doesn't have the vocal chops for this.

What about the music? The music? You mean the mostly half-assed regurgitated pile of those classic songs I loved listening to growing up and still enjoy? And the extra songs shoved in just so that you always had something to distract you from how they didn't know how to write a proper story with poignant and meaningful silences? That's not how the original was structured, so we CAN'T deviate from THAT. They were shoehorning in so much that half the damn thing was backstory. You have to add as much back story as you can, fill those plot holes, make it the SAME but BETTER. They already had a basic story thanks to the original, but you can't just do that. Storytelling-wise, it was all over the place. You haven't a moment to enjoy the beauty and grandeur of it all because it's literally everywhere. There's no space to reflect, just constant stimulation. Movies like B&TB are like the entire building in which you hold the gallery is a "work of art". There's a break between each piece, whether by floor or wall, that allows you to digest it and have a moment to reflect. There are canvases, stand alone sculptures, photos, etc. The problem is that it was literally everywhere. Everything was so intricate and colorful and on such a huge scale. Stills from the finished product were gorgeous. Yes, every film needs to make money, but Disney isn't hurting. OMG *heart emoji* *heart eyes emoji* *crying emoji* *hands raised emoji*
Wanna make a buck? How about remake the biggest Disney films of all time but in LIVE ACTION. While there's plenty about which to gripe, here's one of my biggest problems: I can't stand this constant CGI-heavy everything-must-be-a-sequel-or- a- remake era of film making. I saw this film with my 6-year-old a couple weeks ago. I'm heartily sorry to my fellow Disney fans, but I feel the need to say something: This obsession/worship of the new Beauty and the Beast is BS.
