Could Emma Watson be more beautiful??? <3 I am a guy and admit I only saw this movie because I think Emma Watson is the cutest and most beautiful thing and she looked more beautiful in this movie than any movie I have seen her to date or ever-after all her name is Belle-meaning beautiful in French-and I would have been disappointed if any actress played Belle other than Emma; therefore, Emma playing Belle seemed felicitous. I could be wrong, but I think this is her first movie she has been in where she is really considered the main character.
I am not going to give anything away since I really cannot. I vaguely remember the original 1991 movie that I saw decades ago; but from what I do, the movie does a pretty good job of emulating the original 1991 animated version, while adding its own flair.
A few people I have seen on TV this morning criticized Emma Watson's singing in the movie, but I thought she sounded perfect-then again, maybe I am biased because I have adored her since the Harry Potter Films and have seen all her other movies since.
I thought all of the parts were played perfectly and the film was an overall joy to watch, and didn't feel silly watching this on opening day as a grown man surrounded by mostly very little kids with their parents. I think most of the parents who brought their children probably wanted to see it more than their children.
If any event, I think this movie will go down in history, despite the critics and look forward to getting this on DVD when it comes out. I was a little confused about the part where they flashback about Belle's mother and Belle as a baby and what really happened. Perhaps, it was because I was startled by Emma's beauty. I also did not understand the magical powers of the woman who released Belle's father, as that is never clearly explained and maybe wasn't supposed to be.
The film was great. Emma was beautiful as Belle. Perfect adaptation. Emma was beautiful, especially in those dresses. The film was the perfect length. Emma was even stunning in the very beginning before she wore those dresses in the village-maybe even more beautiful than in the dresses, as she has the most beautiful face. This is a great movie for the whole family, especially if you have kids and gives off a warm feeling and nostalgic feeling of when you saw the original as a kid or adult.
By the way did I happen to mention how unbelievably beautiful and cute Emma Watson was in the movie? 10/10. Three thumbs way up!!!!
