Beauty and the Beast

Last week, the new live action Disney movie, Beauty and the Beast, was released and it was watched all over the world.

Everyone seemed to love it and it made more than 462 million dollars (world total) over the weekend. The movie was getting good reviews even before the film came out in theaters. It has been hyped up on the internet ever since the teaser trailer of the movie was released months ago.

At first, I was skeptical on how the movie was going to be since Disney’s history with live-action movies was less than desirable. Then, after seeing the movie, hearing the soundtrack, and learning about the plot, the movie won me over after witnessing its amazing beauty.

The actors were funny and took their roles to bigger heights than the animated version. The new movie fixed the plot holes of the animated version and made the movie more enjoyable and realistic.

I liked the animated movie, but the new one is sure to be remembered for all time as the first successful live-action Disney movie to actually be better than the original. There are even rumors of a possible prequel, spin-off, or dare I say it, a sequel.

I loved all the characters and I hope to see them again in a possible sequel to the story, but I am more than satisfied with having only this film. I think the movie is going to be the number one hit of 2017 and it will continue to be for years to come.
