Beauty and the Beast (2017) Preliminary review
Beauty and the Beast (2017) (Preliminary)
The Tale as old as time... Based on a fairy tale, but also on the 1991 animated movie, which it is very similar to. The story of a Prince who was cursed to become a Beast, and the young woman who is destined to break that curse (although the role that destiny plays in this story is uncertain). The story of the romance/courtship between the Beast and the young woman is expanded from the 1991 film, but I see that the (relative) simplicity of that film makes it more likeable. However, that doesn't take away from my recommendation for this film.
Aspects of the story are changed, but these aren't too drastic, and serve to further develop the characters (Beast and Belle in particular) and to make the story more interesting and thought provoking. 8.75/10.
