Really, I cant believe someone said they'd fly around the world to see this movie.
There are some things worth remaking, or changing from book/comic to movie. I dont think this is one of them. But hey, I've never been fond of "humans triumph over big ugly monster" themes.
Well the movie has a
Well the movie has a distinct man is the monster persona. I mean come on the most famous quote is "Oh, no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was Beauty killed the Beast.".
Oh, right, let's just blame
Oh, right, let's just blame the platinum blond why don't we.. ;)
Well maybe if she didn't
Well maybe if she didn't dump him he wouldn't have freaked out and climbed the Empire State building.
The movie was good overall
The movie was good overall and probably gonna get a bunch of oscars. Peter Jackson has talent and he's shown it in the LOTR series.
Yea i didn't understand that quote either till i thought about it for maybe 3 minutes and realized that the beast died for her. He was going to escape but when she was climbing the ladder and it fell he had to catch her.
