    Only beauty would conquer the beast! This is not the first time screen adaptation, that means every one of us have seen either version of the films according to what generation we belong. Mine was the animated one and then there was a modern-day version called 'Beastly'. Not to forget there's a recent French version made on the big scale that I yet to watch. So it's not about the story at all. It is about the …

  • [2]The Movie Mob @mooney240TMDB review · Aug 19, 2022 · Rated 7/10

    An admirable adaptation of a classic tale. One of the best live-action Disney adaptations, even though that isn’t difficult to achieve, Beauty and The Beast (2017) excellently transports the audience into the magical world of the Beast’s magical and cursed castle. The scale of the tiny claustrophobic village contrasted with the grandiose halls of the enchanted clearly presents the different worlds of the main …

  • [4]CinemaSerf @Geronimo1967TMDB review · Jul 20, 2024 · Rated 6/10

    A little like "Into the Woods" (2014) this is a technically ambitious attempt to reconcile animation and live action with an excellent cast. Again, it works spectacularly as a piece of cinematic innovation - but has no spirit. We know the story: a vain Prince is cursed by a sorceress to remain shut up, hideously disfigured, in his castle until the spell is broken by true love's tear. "Belle" (Emma Watson) does well …

  • [5]Salt-and-Limes @Salt-and-LimesTMDB review · Mar 20, 2017 · Rated 6/10

    Spoilers The live action remake of "Beauty and the Beast" was good, but it failed to capture the magic of the cartoon version. There were somethings that they got right, and others that dragged on. I thought "Be Our Guest" was done beautifully. The 3d made it even more enchanting. The main characters' backstories also added some depth to them. However, there were some scenes that I felt added nothing to the story. …

Critics, per Wikipedia

Beauty and the Beast grossed $504 million in the United States and Canada and $759.5 million in other countries for a worldwide gross of $1.263 billion. With a production budget of $254 million, it is the most expensive musical ever made. In just ten days, it became the highest-grossing live-action musical of all time, beating the nine-year-old record held by Mamma Mia!. It also became the second-biggest musical ever overall at the time, behind Disney's Frozen (2013). Worldwide, the film proved to be a global phenomenon, earning a total of $357 million over its four-day opening weekend from 56 markets.

    What I think is really good about Beauty and the Beast is that he seems like a comical side character for much of the film until his vanity and misogyny drive him to become main antagonist. How traits which seem ridiculous become hugely destructive when they are indulged as much as he is.

    Aughts and 2010s video film criticism was quite something (“PLOT HOLE!” “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IS STOCKHOLM SYNDROME”) but nothing typifies it quite like the vlogger poking holes in the flaws of THE STUPIDS. That’s right, the vlogger complained that THE STUPIDS is stupid. If only they had warned us!
