cheekyapple-56320 This blew me away. I couldn't believe how much I loved it. I have attention deficit disorder and I actually sat and watched this without doing anything else, getting up, or looking away. That almost never happens and I cannot stress that enough. The film looks stunning and has high quality camera work and art direction. The costuming is incredible. The casting and acting is top notch (truly). But what I especially appreciate and what really stood out for me and tempted me to write a review was that this was not the same scripted tale of Beauty and the Beast we have been over saturated with by Disney. This is a new story and not predictable and much more adult even. Yes there is still that question of whether Belle is just suffering from the syndrome that kidnap victims can get for their captors but at least he is smart and when they bicker it's believable there is chemistry. I recommend this and trust me that it's not the same story over again, it is quite different.

Arthur Faulhaber 'La belle et la bête' (2014).First time I saw this movie I had Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast' (TOP-class) too much in my mind. I disliked 'La belle et la bête' (2014). But the last one kept spinning in my head. After 3 times looking at this movie and trying to understand the French version (Dutch subtitled) I must say it is at least worth an 8-stars score. 'Two' points missing because of the too heavy 'anger wood' scenes in the end. 'Lord of the Rings' type animation. And so ending too far from the French fairytale. Other comments may be: Belle, Léa Seydoux: Typical French beauty with sad eyes. Beast, Vincent Cassel: Not the best casting choice. 'Little doggies' in the castle are weak animations. Belle's two sisters, 'too dombo' casting and too much dressed down. Holding a golden arrow in her hand on her dying ladies body is 'cheapness' and far from 'reality'.But, still for me this movie is a must have in my library.

Lana R The only reason I am rating this movie is because the movie has got very low rating. I absolutely loved the characters, graphics and the actors. I have seen the movie about three times already! I made everyone I know watch it. I would have rated it 10 on 10 if the chemistry shown between the two was more vibrant and also the ending was redundant(you will know what I mean, when you see it).I was blown away by CGI. If you have liked Tangled or Anastasia, you will like this too!Must watch if you like fairytale movies! This is one of those FEEL GOOD MOVIES.

Ervin Zarka Heyyyy this amazing tale is coming in very high definition idea and brilliant performance of casting and also of last modern technology. I like this movie a lot and i have to say that sometimes there were some "cold spots". These "cold spots" mean that the drama of this scenario is going down sometimes and i don't know why...i cannot accept this and cannot tolerate this brilliant story to not be so perfect as we have been used to hear or read it since hundred years ago. The director had the all possibilities to do this movie more perfect than it is. Everything goes like a wave, like a dream and i lost into this play. congratulatons!
