Critics Consensus

Fundamentally misguided, poorly written, and badly acted, Beastly adds little to the legacy of its timeless source material.

Beauty And The Beast except with the lusty, gothic menace that makes that story interesting replaced by moany teenagers and crap acoustic guitar music. Or, in short, Dawson's Freak.

Rated: 1/5

Beastly does not aspire to compete with its prestigious ancestors, rather it aims to entertain the young women its catered to. [Full review in Spanish]

Good messages in an uneven movie that has some very effective moments early on but gets more ridiculous as the credits approach.

Rated: 2/5

Beastly is made precisely for those people who will enter the movie theater not 100% sure that the film is a retelling of the "Beauty & The Beast" storyline.

Rated: 2.0/4.0

Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens did well in this movie. I liked Pettyfer’s gothic makeup tattoos and piercings. I thought it was the coolest I have seen. Hudgens was attractive as Lindy Taylor. I do see that the acting was not great, it could be better, but both these two did well. Mary-Kate Olsen’s final role as Kendra was also good. I liked the tattoo makeup on her face, but her catwalk in that high school looks like it was the director’s doing. The director has to make better decisions when it comes to better guidance, choosing the right actors, and how they perform properly.

Filme: A Fera Elenco: @marykateolsen_ @alexpettyfer @vanessahudgens @nph @dakotajohnson Modelo: #misticismo #feitiçaria #romance Duração: 1h 26m Ano: 2011 Minha opinião: Um roteiro já conhecido de filmes tens. Temos aqui Vanessa e Alex como protagonistas e uma "bruxa Kendra" como coadvante. A estória do galã que tem a atração do colégio. Kyle (Alex) e todo, todo, esnobe, convencidos, prepotente, arrogante,..... E com isso ele pisa no calo de Kendra que lhe joga um feitiço. Assim ele começa a ser deformado e como se fosse raízes negras começa se alastrar em todo seu corpo. Cai em uma depressão, chega ir até a Kendra, mas ela diz que o feitiço lançado só se desfaz se alguém se apaixonar por ele e de como ele esta de verdade. Mas ele diz, "quem se apaixonaria com alguém com a imagem que tem". Mas a força do Amor supera toda barreira da vida. E assim chega ao clímax final parecido com a Bela e a Fera. E o feitiço é desfeito. Uma atuação razoável dos atores. Roteiro e enredo um roteiro já conhecido, poderia nos surpreender mais. Faltou aquele Tchan. Vale apena assistir? sim Nota: 5,5

its ok. kinda cringey/embarrassing to watch at some scenes. i didn't think the acting was bad though like some people are saying. dialogue does seem unnatural at times. the 'beasts' makeup was really well done in my opinion looked flawless. i didn't hate it, but didn't like it either. very neutral of this movie
