Just saw it last night...Great movie

Honestly, I don't see where all the hate is coming from. It was an amazing movie, faithful to the original with a few small tweaks. Emma Watson was perfect as Belle. The CGI was beautiful, although admittedly the faces of the castle occupants did turn out a tiny bit creepy and flat, but it wasn't too distracting. Yes, LeFou was gay. No, it was not overtly pushing any "gay agenda". He was obsessed with Gaston in the original, and this version just took that a bit further. His character actually had a nice little twist at the end.

I agree too. We saw it today and we thought it was wonderful. I loved the CGI, especially Lumiere. It is very clever and it follows the animated version fairly well. I can't get the songs out of my head. I've got a serious ear worm!

I went with a group of people. Older and younger, guys and girls. EVERYONE ended up loving it, even if they didn't care for the original. Emma's singing was not up to par but Luke Evans and Josh Gad killed it as Gaston and LeFou. I thought they were the real stars of the show! The group musical numbers were amazing and exceeded my expectations. Well done Disney!
