As the movie began, I noticed a very positive that the film strongly oriented towards the novel. Until the middle of the film that is its ever so and then have with the authors the horses bolted. As the story has been artificially inflated, but behind it is no longer stuck than hot air.
Throughout the film, I was not clear why Belle in love with the Beast. There is not a scene in the movie, which shows that there germinate emotions. Why should they? He behaves like the last ... A hole. And what are these dogs being? Which do not meet the minimum function. Spoiler: First there are normal dogs. Transform by the curse which. In small beings who also have minds and hands have to make, for example, the food At the end of the film, there are dogs again. How sad is that?
From story-wise, I can no recommendation for the film. But as it has lovingly decorated, I would say: If you have nothing better to do and have the ability perhaps to watch this film for free, you do it!
