Another great movie for me and the grand-kids!!! We loved it

Interesting story rewrite of the story. Enjoyed it lots.

Bought recently. An old classic brought to modern screen

Safe move to watch with the family. Enjoyed !!!!!!

All of my grandchildren really enjoyed the movie!!

Vincent Cassel (Oceans 12) and Lea Seydoux (SPECTRE) were solid casting choices. While Christophe Gans' 2014 French film isn't quite as magical as Jean Cocteau's 1946 classic, it's visually stunning and an interesting departure in plot from the two Disney adaptations. Like the earlier Cocteau film, Belle has multiple siblings here, one of whom see a potential financial windfall after hearing their sister's tales of Beast's castle they suffer from the loss of their father's fortune. There's also a rather interesting subplot in flashback dreams which explains a different origin story for the castle's curse from other film adaptations. Also worth checking out from director Gans is the period French martial arts cult classic THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF.

A really cool re-imagining of the classic fairy tale (Note: This isn't an adaptation of the Disney movie) that brings really interesting concepts and visuals to an audience that may not have known the true Beauty and the Beast story. If you've only seen the Disney versions I'd happily recommend this as it adds new elements from the original story that makes this *ahem* tale as old as time feel fresh again. Worth a watch.

I own multiple versions of this story. This one was very different. A good movie just not what you expect.

I was blown away by this movie! The whole vibe was deep, right from the beginning, and you get pulled into this retelling of the fairy tale that is a modern day classic in it's adherence to the original motifs. There were no singing and dancing inanimate objects, Belle did not burst into song, Beast was definitely beastly, but overall, this is hands down the best rendition that I have seen because it sticks very close to the original. Yes, it is originally a French movie that is dubbed in English, but that detail becomes unnoticeable as you fall deeper into this beautiful story.

Beauty and the Beast is one of the world's most beloved fairy tales, and over the years, it has been memorable films, television series, and, of course, read by millions. This is another beautiful adaptation you will enjoy, and it obviously will not be competition for the soon to be released Disney live action adaptation of its classic animated masterpiece and stage musical.

Although Beauty & the Beast has been done many times, this is another good version to add to your library. You will recognize some familiar pieces from other versions, but this one has new twists & added characters. It is visually awesome, & I enjoyed watching the blu ray disc on a large screen 4K upscale. This one has more story than music & was a pleasure to watch.

This French-made movie is a beautiful depiction of a renowned love story. The Blu-ray version highlights the visual imagery and enhances the sound quality. Viewers should be cautioned that not all scenes may be appropriate for young children. Overall, it is still an excellent movie and provides one more perspective on this much-loved fairy tale.

Beautifully photographed with lavish costumes, this fairy tale comes across with European style. Original soundtrack is in French, it is dubbed in English, but I found it more pleasurable to watch in French with the English subtitles. Lea Seydoux is wonderful as Belle and the story stays true to the fairy tale. Directed by Christophe Gans.

Run of the mill version of Beauty and the Beast. Don't pay full price.

An interesting twist on a old story! I liked this movie a lot, it's casting is good and the story is compelling. The English dubbing could have been way better. :( The special effects were ok but for a foreign film it was good. I would say check it out before buying it, but if your a Beauty and the Beast fan you might like it.

pretty scenery but overdubbed in English so not first rate.

Just as the Disney live action is about to hit us, this comes out in disc. Although a little late as the film was originally released years ago. This is the French version though. I find the beast to be a little old. But worth the purchase for the visuals which were never overdone. Beauty is played by a good actor.

Not the worst. Far from the best. It's ok. Save money.

Too expensive for an older movie. It's hard to purchase.

A version one of my kid's really prefers so we got a copy of it. The visuals are stunning and defiantly worth a watch. It is not like the Disney one though so if your kid is as huge fan of that they might not like this. If you are into classic fairy tales though this is for you.
