La bella y la Bestia

El tipo de musical donde las canciones no profundizan la historia que es muy simple, sino que la ralentizan aún más. Y las que contiene no son pocas. Pero visualmente realmente hermosa, con probablemente el encanto retro más fiel al estilo del Mago de Oz original, y con la princesa Emma Watson más linda, que nació para interpretar este papel. Un pequeño spoiler: Lo que más recordaré de esta película es el momento de choque cuando antes del final aparecieron en vivo en la pantalla Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen y Emma Thompson y me di cuenta que en lugar de sus voces, estuve escuchando durante dos horas canciones dobladas al checo. El estreno de IMAX no se rechaza, pero es la última vez en mi vida que fui a ver algo doblado al checo. Por lo demás, la película tiene un excelente 3D (¡la nevada!) y el formato está perfecto para IMAX. (15.03.2017)

I'd been meaning to go see Beauty and the Beast. Just for Emma. But somehow I found myself in a theater watching a dubbed movie. And that half killed the movie for me. I have no idea how it would have been in the original, but I had a hard time with most of the songs in the Czech version. Otherwise, I have no major complaints about the film. The filmmakers stuck pretty closely to the source material, the cast is great, and the effects are pretty good too. (17.04.2017)

It will probably be a hit and little girls will like it, but I have a feeling that the world would function without any problems without the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast. Emma Watson is great, the special effects are opulent, and the production design is fantastic, but due to its excessive running time, the film starts to lose its breath in the middle and doesn't have much to tell. Yes, there are the familiar songs, but half of them are only there because they were in the animated version. And the cute talking furniture stops being entertaining after a few minutes, and when the candelabras, teapots, and clocks take up the entire space in front of the camera, it becomes quickly tiresome. A huge digital mess. But it is still a proper romantic fairytale that actually offers exactly what you expect from it. Cinderella has more likeable characters, The Jungle Book is funnier and more thrilling, but I probably never expected more from a live-action Beauty and the Beast than what we got in the cinema. So in the end, it's probably okay. And Luke Evans is amazing. (15.05.2017)

That back in the day I liked La La Land was probably amplified by the fact that, as a musical, the score was beautiful and on top of that, the movie offered a bit of fatefulness, which is something I don’t find much with musicals these days. Because I am not normally a fan of musicals… actually not at all. Well and this version of the Beauty and the Beast is exactly the kind of the bitter-sweet American musical, which is definitely good in all respects, but which gives you nothing more than that. At most, there is the visual aspect in the form of talking furniture, which is nice, but which definitely does not save the movie at all. It is incredibly average… (15.12.2017)

The work done in the fairy tale and musical aspects is absolutely outstanding, while the costumes, set design, choreography, and Emma Watson's eyes are captivating, and the music enchants the heart more and more. This film fulfilled everything that was promised during the long wait. (21.03.2017)
