Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

leah-30324 The cinematography in this is absolutely incredible. The story is fantastic. I do wish there was more storyline on Belle falling in love so you are able to grasp that she has indeed fallen in love with a beast at the end. I like this version better than the Disney one. It's closer to the actual tale than Disney. Watch it, you won't be disappointed

jmariani-69084 This is a visually beautiful film that is well acted, but the script and editing is horrible. The flow is constantly being disrupted with scene turns that make no sense, there is little to no chemistry between Belle and the Beast, and the imagination is not carried away because key scenes are too abruptly ended or interrupted. Really a shame but there it is.

chaeya 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.
