After two disappointing movies, Spider-Man gets back into the swing of things with an awesome new film starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker and Michael Keaton as the Vulture.
To say that the first trailer for Beauty and the Beast was evocative of the 1991 animated classic would be an understatement; it was a live-action carbon copy, and if Disney’s remake of Cinderella was any indication, we were in for yet another tedious — if visually stunning, well-acted and beautifully-designed — exercise in nostalgia-based capitalism. But Bill Condon’s live-action update of Beauty and the Beast is more reimagining than remake, a lavish and lovely take on a familiar tale (as old as time, no doubt) that enriches its source material without betraying it, embellishing a cherished antique with modern ideas.
My usual disclaimer- I paid for my food (actually, Boleo treated me, but you get what I'm saying) and was in no way reimbursed for this review. My love of food is too real and too important for fibbin', so this is my real, authentic opinion...
