Both Jungle Book and Cinderella similarly were really pretty but felt skin-deep. I don't think they've or will have the lasting appeal as the animated films they're based on, nor does it feel like they're trying for that (this one almost being line-for-line based on the cartoon from what little we see in the trailer), and so...what's the point of these besides promoting the actresses and actors for about 15 minutes?
For the previous live-action films: They were okay and I liked them when I watched it, but if the over-arching question asked is "would you re-watch it?" the answer is probably no.
Anyways. All that aside, I'll probably watch the new and improved Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson (a well-known feminist playing in one of the best-known Stockholm Syndrome stories lol), but after I can see myself turning back to the version where the living housewares don't look so creepy.

Only roughly I would say. The live action movie actually brought interesting angles to the characters and story which is why I think many people were pleasantly surprised.
Movie was actually kinda dark with vicious looking fights. JB gave me hope that Lion King will not suck.
But TBF, from the trailer I thought JB would be a waste of time as well.
Then again I don't like BatB and refuse to watch it in full to this day.

Jungle book was pretty well loved when it came out. Reviewers loved it as do cinema goers
I thought jungle book was great. You have to remember mowgli is the only real character in that whole movie and what they did with the cgi and story telling was amazing. That villian was also damn great. Amazing movie. Terrific from start to finish.

May I have a cookie?
If Disney continue with this strategy at least we can take comfort in the fact there's a good chance the Star Wars prequels will be remade in a decade. Hopefully from scratch.

She looks great in photos there but still not keen on her in motion as above she's not gentle enough and a little too assured

I have said this literally for years. I like Emma Watson but that would have been perfect.

I'm not sold on the supporting cast voices yet. Too British for a French setting.

The Orcs in Warcraft look closer to Beast than the remake one.
Where the fuck is his underbite with protuding fangs?

Official Poster:
Strange choice to fragrantly show off all the Beast's servants as humans on the poster, but then again... if they have an A-List cast I guess they want to show them off to get people into theaters.
Interesting to see Gaston looking uncharacteristically subdued.

If this is shown the movie's existence will be redeemed.
