His singing prowess and theater background came through in his 2 musical numbers. Luke Evans gave an entertaining, profoundly over-the-top, and eventually villainous performance as Gaston. She has made a nice transition from her childhood acting role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies to Belle in "Beauty & The Beast". It would be hard to imagine another actress who could have played this role of Belle as well as Emma Watson. She performed her various singing moments admirably and with good emotion for a 1st time singer in a movie. Emma Watson gave a charming, intelligent, sincere, and radiant performance as Belle. They both brought their animated characters to real-life as well as could be imagined. The 2 acting performances which stood out were Emma Watson (Belle) and Luke Evans (Gaston). The 3 new songs "Days In The Sun", "How Does A Moment Last Forever", and "Evermore" added nice depth and background to this live-action version. Also liked the linking of magical enchantress to the villager "outcast" commoner Agathe. The story-line is pretty much similar with the animated version, but with some nice background story additions about Belle's mother and the Beast/Prince's father. Great casting, well-acted, amazing CGI affects, and memorable musical numbers. Exceptionally well-done live action remake to one of my favorite Disney animated classics.
