I so loved this movie, was played out differently than Disney beauty and the beast but I definitely loved the movie and would definitely watch it again and recommend it to others

Visually stunning. It feels like watching an actual old fairy tale. There's much more magic here than in the latest live action Disney version. It's only problem: we need more time showing the evolution of the relationship between the two main characters. Their love doesn't feel earned.

This ponderous retelling of a classic tale just drags on and on. Everything is over-explained -- too much information that bores instead of illuminating. For a Disney touch they throw in pointless 'cute' doggy-elf thingies, and much time is wasted on setting up a big, empty CGI-fest ending, which the filmmakers think will sell this mess to the young guys dragged into watching it by their girlfriends. The Beast, rendered with obvious AI smoothness, doesn't seem particularly scary or expressive, and this Belle quickly overcomes her fear and starts bossing the Beast around like a naggy housewife. Worst of all, the fundamental idea of this fairy tale is undermined by the Beast having loved *another* woman (albeit a wood nymph) before Belle, so she's getting him on the rebound. Wasn't the original idea that he had been too beastly a human to love anyone up until Belle showed up? What a waste of her time and ours! Younger viewers who think Disney nailed B&B back in 1991 need to watch Jean Cocteau's 1946 B&W version to see this story presented far more intelligently and magically than any of the later animated or CGI-laden versions.

A pesar de la poca química que tienen los actores principales es fascinante de ver, el detalle en el vestuario y el castillo es simplemente fascinante, la vería mil veces más, me parece muy hermosa.

Dublagem brasileira sendo que ela não é dubladora Paola Oliveira casou aceitavelmente com a bela desse filme gostei.

Gans isn't especially concerned with the outcome this coupling, instead reveling in overwrought and often bloated storytelling, lush details and some of the year's most unnerving CGI.

Chicago Reader

This 2014 adaptation of the French fairy tale looks spectacular, with vibrant landscapes and lavish 18th-century costumes, but... [Léa Seydoux, as the fair maiden, and Vincent Cassell] are stiff and perfunctory.

When Gans locks in on his leads, Beauty and the Beast soars like few other live-action fairy tale movies have in recent years.

... its scenery is stunning, the costumes making it worth a few watches along. It's worth seeing but may cause some issues to those looking for a deeper story ...

Rated: 3/5
