Review
Okay, I can’t think of a way to describe this that’s not “Not bad”. I’ve been an Emma Watson fan for a while (like most other fantasy-loving kids) and it’s good to see that she does a good job acting in this movie. Unfortunately, there really isn’t much for her to do in this role (or in most roles in this movie, honestly). Everyone was par, is what I feel like. The beast (Dan Stevens) was a pretty cool character, but the supporting cast really stole the show, especially Lumiere and Cogsworth (Ian McKellen), who have hilarious banter, and LeFou (Josh Gad), who’s great comic relief. Gaston (Luke Evans) is really just the worst, and I didn’t really feel the movie’s heart too much, unfortunately. It’s cool that she likes books, though. And the songs and outfits and nice.
