Story development

Building upon what already exists

Everything I wanted!

As we have already seen with the likes of Disney's live actin remake of Cinderella etc. Beauty and the Beast recaptures the magic of the animated film we all know and love. However, it achieves greatness by building upon the already familiar story and filling in holes left by its predecessor. The film was fun, enchanting and emotional.

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.

Decent Remake

It's a good story and film, I saw the Swedish version first, so kinda spoils any surprises, as it is a scene for scene re-work. In fact I'd say some of the key scenes were better in the original version. Why they added some dodgy cgi in places is anyones guess? Have to say Chloe Moretz is one to watch for the future, great young actress.

Tim curry was hard to beat

I really enjoyed watching this, I has high hopes about this remake but never expected Tim Currys Pennywise to be topped. But I am willing to admit that is what happened. I felt unnerved throughout the whole movie. I found the acting to be convincing and I felt involved in the story and a connection to the characters. I look forward to the second.

Awful!

All I can say is this just seemed like a rubbish remake of jaws! I found the whole film extremely boring.
As Jason Statham was in the film, i thought it may be quite good as i rate him as a good actor. I was thoroughly disappointed! All I saw was an over sized shark swimming in water and occasionally attacking.
Seriously, don't waste your time!

Firstly no way is this a remake of the original 1980 slasher. They are both called Prom Night and that is it, the stories are totally different! The other problem is this is classed as a horror but only a PG-13?! Pretty straight forward slasher stuff, not scary or gory but done on a big budget. Watch the 80's one it was only just slightly better!

As much as I loved the cartoon version of Aladdin, the 2019 remake has by far disappointed me. Will Smith was a mistake as genie. The singing from the beginning was a let down, and then throughout the film.

On the other hand the film was alright, besides the new additional songs which was added into the film sung by Princess Jasmine. Kind of ruined it for me.
