I went to see the new Disney movie Beauty and the Beast last night.
It's a live action version of their classic animated movie.
It Was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw it on an IMAX screen in 3D. Gotta admit there were a few 3D effects that had me ducking the flying objects. lol...
The Beast's castle was amazing. I would love to be able to walk through it.
I am not a big fan of CGI effects, but they did a great job of it in this movie. The beast hada lot of CGI, but he always looked like he was actually walking side by side with Belle.
I think Emma Watson did a nice job as Belle, but as another friend said, it's a role that almost anybody could do.
They followed the animated story fairly faithfully. Adding some things here and there.
The Beast gets a song after he releases Belle to go home to save her father that was really great. I hope the Academy remembers it next year for Oscar nominations.
There was some minor uproar about the gaying of the character LeFou and his pining for Gaston. I don't think it was that big of a deal. I don't think it was needed, but I think it was a nice add. Of course Gaston was oblivious to the attraction. He was too busy looking at himself in the mirror. lol.....
Gotta admit, I was bawling at the end, first sadly, and then happily. :o

I give it a grade of A+.
