I disagree. I saw it on opening night and found it underwhelming. The visuals were great, and I was surprised that I liked the Beast as much as I did. However, I thought Emma Watson was miscast and her singing wasn't very good. And more importantly, while there were many funny parts, most of the other characters were not memorable the way they were in the original especially Gaston and LeFou. I found myself more interested in the clock than anyone else.
Also, there was something off about the pacing. I don't know if this was due to an issue with translating animated stories to live action, but the whole movie came across like 'scene, scene, now this scene, now the next scene, now this, now that.' It didn't flow very well.

So true, pacing was atrocious. Not sure why people are so delusional about this film.

We are "delusional" because we like it. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, no need to call names simply because your opinion differs from others on this thread. I'm sure there are other postings where you can rant with others about how bad you think the movie is.

Wow I'm not the only one who found the clock the most interesting lol!
But I think underwhelming is a good word to use here. It wasn't terrible, and it did a lot of good things - I actually thought Emma Watson's singing was okay, much better than I expected. But I found both her portrayal of Belle, as well as the Beast's performance, very unremarkable. Like, nothing stood out to make me say 'perfect Belle, perfect Beast.'
