Beauty and the Beast, 3.5 Stars


I love Emma Watson (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) and I loved this! The colours and contrasting of lightness and darkness served the film well.

Watson is very good, although her voice is a little light, especially in the opening scene. But the familiar music and story are beautifully done. Kevin Kline (A Fish Called Wanda) and Luke Evans (whom I don’t recall in Robin Hood) are adequate, as were the (mostly computer-generated) supporting cast of Ian McKellen (Lord of the Rings) and Ewan McGregor (Moulin Rouge).

This is a classic story and I’d see it again (and again).
