Best movie ever!
I admit, I was totally sceptical at what I thought was another attempt to spoil a good thing. But musicals... haven't regretted watching a single one, from Chicago, Burlesque, Les Miserables (though I only found out it was fully a musical midway)! We live and we learn :)
Ok, here's how good it was. I went back to watch it a second time. Hee.
It's definitely one of those movies to watch alone - so you can cry at all the odd moments. I gather from the odd chuckles and silences from my fellow movie-watchers, that we were all touched by the movie in one way or the other. None of us wanted to live till we saw the end of the credits. You have to leave immediately when the lights come on though, so you can go remove any traces of the tear tracks.
Loved Belle for being both feisty and just lovely. Emma Watson, you danced beautifully; I was half-in-love with you myself! And of course Beast and the eye-rolling, bumbling-ness of him.
The best of it all was the familial love of Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs Potts, Chip, Madame de Garderobe, the Cadenza and Froufrou and the lovely, wordless cloak-stand. They make you laugh and tear at the same time - the best type of laughter.
So... third time? :D
