Such a good adaptation (1 more)
Great casting
Perfect
As a huge disney fan I’m always sceptical about live action remakes (dont talk to me about Cinderella!) but this was amazing! The casting is perfect! Who knew Emma Watson could sing! I’m a big Potter fan too so was nervous about seeing ‘Hermione’ in this type of role, but was so pleased I liked it. Great film ?

Best video game adaptation ever
Watched this with my partner who is a huge pokemon fan, whilst I'm a fan but not as obsessed. We both loved the film, it's cheesy, it's incredibly funny and even with a predictable plot (It's a family film, I'm not bothered) I was still engaged with what was gonna on.

Princess Jasmine was amazing, a true Disney Princess with an incredible voice. Will Smith as the genie wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. As for Jafar, well he was completely awful, like some kind of pantomime villain. Overall though, I actually quite enjoyed this latest, almost carbon copy of the animated original, live action Disney remake. Not bad at all, for a Guy Ritchie movie.

Ok family adventure
I thought I'd give this a go after seeing a trailer. It's based on Dora the explorer cartoon series but giving a live action make over with a teen cast. For a family film it's ok, quite funny in places. It's a bit like a child friendly jumanji and Lara Croft combined. Definitely one for the young kids to enjoy.

Better than expected
I wasn't sure what I'd think of this one as it looked a bit strange, but I liked it. The cinematography and effects were great with lots of fun and exciting action sequences combining a genre-mix of styles. From steam-punk to anime style(live action though) to sci-fi but all with one thing im common, a group of "badass" girls kicking butt. It all kept the story from being what would've probably been a fairly boring tale about a group of women's attempt to escape an insane asylum. Overall a very entertaining movie with interesting characters and a fun, unique style. Worth a watch!

Okay but cheesey
I loved this movie as a kid and they could have done better making it Emma Watson did an amazing job playing Belle but the rest of it was severely cheesy and they changed a lot of things still had all the singing but something just seemed really different about it and not the fact that it was live action instead of animation

Excellent adaptation from the original
As a young child, I obsessively watched the Animated movie. Growing up, I have read every adaptation I could get my hands on. This movie did a splendid job of translating the animated film to live action. The development between Belle and the Beast was slower in this version which I loved. Overall, I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys this fairy tale.

Enjoyable Movie
I'm not usually a fan of remakes, but this one was pretty good. I enjoyed see old characters that I know and love drawn in a modern style. The visuals in this movie were great. It made me wish I could step into the movie, and celebrate Christmas with them.
Despite the visuals this is never going to be my favorite version. It lacks a lot of the charm the original cartoon has, and the Grinch in the new version isn't as good as the one from the live action movie. Overall I think the biggest thing hurting this film is that it had way to much to live up to.
