First of all, I'm writing this because there needs to be an impartial review. I see people saying it's perfect and people saying is garbage which is neither.
Now, for people saying it is boring and a waste of time because is the same as the animated. This is a REMAKE, what were you expecting? and also it is not exactly the same as the cartoon, there are subtle differences that actually make sense like: 1. we get more explanation to how the curse works with the explanation to why the village people don't remember the castle or the people in it. 2. we also get backstory of both the Beast and Belle 3. Belle is now the inventor which is actually cool and if you are not OK with that, I mean is 2017 like you and your bigotry mind should go live in that provincial town 3. The new songs are really good and worked perfectly, in my opinion 4. Le Fou is now canonically gay which is neither good or bad, actually I always assume he already was. Although 2 seconds of him dancing with another guy is not that much of a big "gay moment" for it to make headlines an polemic, but that's for another rant.
And for people giving this a ten, I have to agree that it is not THAT good: Some of the CGI is pretty average and over used in some points I also have to say that it lacks some of the charm from the original because the characters feel a little flat sometimes plus I could actually live without the new piano guy, that new addition was just meh
Overall I give it a 7 because it has some little flaws but it is a very good and a pretty solid retake on a beautiful story that we will always love
