Saw this at a friends house, have no idea how they got a copy. It was in french with no subtitles. What an absolutely gorgeous movie! I really can't even find the words that would do justice to the sets and costumes. Never have I seen such detail. The costumes, the flowers, the storybook transitions and the wonderful actors! I would watch this movie several times a year just because it truly is a magical experience. I keep trying to find out how I can buy a copy with subtitles, or where I can see it on the big screen. But, I find nothing? Why? Was there a dispute over distribution or rating? There is one scene with some nudity, but it perfectly fits and is an innocent scene, nothing that would disturb a 10-12 or older. I really can't say enough about this version of Beauty and the Beast. The french have captured this story to almost perfection, from beginning to end. I cannot wait to see this again and shall continue trying to find a copy to purchase for my library. One of my favorite movies of all time now. It seems amazing to me that this movie was not released in the US and still I am not able to purchase a DVD, it was released in Feb 2014? Sure would love to know why...

The only reason I am rating this movie is because the movie has got very low rating. I absolutely loved the characters, graphics and the actors. I have seen the movie about three times already! I made everyone I know watch it. I would have rated it 10 on 10 if the chemistry shown between the two was more vibrant and also the ending was redundant(you will know what I mean, when you see it).I was blown away by CGI. If you have liked Tangled or Anastasia, you will like this too! Must watch if you like fairytale movies! This is one of those FEEL GOOD MOVIES.

It was amazingly made, and in every second, I felt myself devouring the movie with my eyes. Not even in one moment, I wanted to take a break and do something else. If you are feeling the need to distract yourself with something beautiful, then you found what you need. Everything since the soundtrack, the costumes, and landscape felt perfect. I was immersed in this magic world, for almost 2 hours, feeling all the emotions that the protagonists were showing, and for that I thank you Christophe Gans and crew. I am always searching for something like this, because it gives me what most people consider silly, something like - "Fairy tale hope". I loved this version that quite differ from what you can remember from the Disney's version. I liked that one, but this one is my favorite from now on. There is only one thing that I missed, and I really wished I had seen more : More scenes between the beauty and the beast, during their daily construction of their love for each other, before the ending. Oh, something else, I wish the movie had no ending. My eyes get tired of seeing disgrace everywhere, everyday. This is a divine delight for the eyes.

Not going to write a long winded review. My wife and I had a look at the "2017 Disney Emma Watson" musical released recently, and it was rather terrible. I am not personally into broad way musical kind of stuff, and I could not stand it. This 2014 version the French made just jells a lot better for me. I can't speak more than 5 words French, but I loved this version of the story and how it unfolds. The graphics and cinematography was also excellent. Visually very stimulating. Well worth your time.
