But there is a reason to remake a movie that's already good - you get to share the story with more people and you have an updated audience. What didn't you like about Beauty and the Beast? I thought it was well done. Honestly I might just be dumb / low-IQ because I don't get the criticisms that so many people have.
Awhhhhhaha aww that's hot, that's hot
