    The director for this also did Phoebe in Wonderland, the technological oppisite of this movie.

    Seen the trailer and already hate it! I never wanna watch this movie.

    If they wanted to make the guy undesirable, they should had made the guy poor, fat and ugly looking like me, not a fucking cocky cock with tattoos and tons of money!

    I look like Alex Pettyfur after the Cancer treatment I needed because this movie.

    Some Ol' Bullshit. I almost knew what I was getting myself into when I went and saw this. I knew that it was a modern take on Beauty and the Beast, and I didn't mind that. The guy looked absolutely nothing like a beast. To me, he looked like a cancer patient that got a lot of tattoos and cuts himself a lot. According to my friend that I went and saw it with, he was an actual beast in the book. He had claws and everything. I thought that if they added claws, I would have at least been a little interested. Honestly, the first half of the movie is some prick that won't stop saying "I'm ugly! I'm ugly! I'm ugly!" Then the second half was "Hey, there's a girl I kinda like. Maybe if I protect her, she'll say that she loves me and the curse will break!" This movie was just really annoying. What kept me going was that blind character, Will. Almost anytime he was on screen, he made me laugh. When he left the screen, the movie just turned boring. There was probably about 1 or 2 minutes of action, and from that, I thought that the movie would change. It didn't. It only got worse. There's not even a real High School in here. In the beginning, I thought that it was some mall and he was doing community service or some bullshit like that. Then at the end, when I saw the sign above the entrance that said it was a high school, I was like WTF?!?! This isn't a high school! Also, if they wanted a beast, why not turn him into a werewolf or something? As for the acting, well let's just say that every "quote" that spill makes from the movie, that's exactly what they said and exactly how they said it. NO JOKE. IT'S THAT BAD!!

    This is probably my favorite review.

    Movie gets credit for one thing only: the title.

    Because the title pretty much sums up what the whole movie is; as well as the future for CBS Films.

  • March 10, 2011 at 4:00 AM, said ...

    Way to butcher a classic CBS films, you damn fuck ups

  • March 09, 2011 at 6:06 AM, Brianna Johnson said ...

    Much like they did with "blood and Chocolate" they manage to take a decent YA book and fuck it up on film. This could have made a very nice and original Art House type film. The red riding hood movie looks like shite, they fucking trailer gives everything away any way. Plus, in the blue fairy book she dies at the end because the wolf eats her?

    @The Tea Party Rat

    Someone earlier in the comments mentioned how they look half-Borg from Star Trek, haha. But in all seriousness, yeah. This is definitely going on the worst movies of 2011 list.

  • March 09, 2011 at 12:01 AM, Sky said ...

    Fuck this movie. Fuck this shitty ass movie. This movie insults me as a teenager (Although 18 but still a teen by technicality), a Wiccan, as a female, a fan of goth culture (not labeling myself for the record :/), a fan of fairy tales and a fan of movies in general. No, fuck. This. Movie. I can't imagine why anyone would like this movie, this is absurdly pathetic at an attempt to bring in Twilight money. As Co-Host said, this movie makes the entire Twilight series look like Oscar-caliber masterpieces in comparison. 

     

    And yes I agree, she needs to tone down the 'goth' shit by a lot. She looks fucking HIDEOUS. That's another thing I hate, the overdoing of the whole 'goth' thing when many goths don't even overdo it like that. Some don't even wear that much make-up or even that much black. (I know I don't.) 

     

    God she looks ugly... wtf happened to her eyebrows? o___o God all the lines on her face make her look so old... what in the fuck? Her face just looks so sunken in Christ... what in the hell...? She looks more Beastly than he does.

    They called it "Beastly" because "Butt Fuck of Beauty and the Beast" wouldn't fit on the poster.

  • March 08, 2011 at 4:26 AM, Jon said ...

    haha wow

    I find it funny only you guys have responded back trying to counter me

    I appreciate your input too even if we arent on the same page

     

    if I may:

    The Roomate was closer to 00% Rotten on RottenTomatoes than Beastly

    Twilight involves a vampire that glitters and more people hate that above a Beauty and the Beast story

    the lowest common denominator of humanity would be people like Friedberg and Seltzer who should not exist at all in this world when it comes to movies

    Charlie St. Cloud was just overbearing with excessive weeping like a Nicholas Sparks production

    Rango: looking at those creatures with enormous eyes is bound to freak somebody out even me, plus that trailer did look horrible

     

    so yeah, I loved Beastly

    and trust me there are much much much WORSE movies out there!

    I think Kenami summed up everyone's reaction to Jon's comment there. My instinct tells me that all rational arguments are useless against somebody who likes this movie, but here we go anyway:

     

    1) "it looks like it belongs on the CW but so did The Roommate" - and incidentally, The Roommate was also complete and utter manufactured garbage.

    2) "ITS NOT TWILIGHT too!" - it is.

    3) "they should know that movies like this are not pandered to them at all" - everyone knows these movies are pandered to the lowest common denominator of the human race.

    4) "whats to say about a movie like this when it got pushed back last summer no thanks to Charlie St. Cloud?" - Charlie St. Cloud might as well be Citizen Kane compared to this, and that's coming from someone who thought St. Cloud was marginally better than average.

    5) "what else is there really in the theater to see anyway? RANGO?" - Rango is so infinitely better than Beastly that words now fail me.

    I'd rather watch this version:

  • March 07, 2011 at 12:50 AM, said ...

    I actually read the novel of this. Its infinitely better than this piece of crap because it kept its lesson on Beauty Is In The Inside wonderfully. This movie did its best on lying on that message and have it being even more shallow than freaking Twilight.

  • March 07, 2011 at 12:28 AM, Nathan Little said ...

    @Jon; LOLWAT?

     

    That aside, this sounds so bad I actually kind of want to see it. I love really, really bad movies, as long as they arn't boring.

  • March 06, 2011 at 10:52 PM, said ...

    I think Kenami summed up everyone's reaction to Jon's comment there.

  • March 06, 2011 at 10:22 PM, Jon said ...

    P.S. to the SPILL Crew,

     

    I trust you guys with half the stuff you review but I have to respectfully disagree with you about Beastly

    Im just really particular about certain movies, I dont see everything in the theater either

  • March 06, 2011 at 10:07 PM, Kenami said ...

    Wow Jon...wow.

  • March 06, 2011 at 9:43 PM, Jon said ...

    wow

    you guys just are not big fans

    I really loved this movie

    yeah it looks like it belongs on the CW but so did The Roommate

    I myself am a big Vanessa Hudgens fan, and Im pretty sure they too will check it out

    ITS NOT TWILIGHT too!

    the critics are just critics and they should know that movies like this are not pandered to them at all

    plus whats to say about a movie like this when it got pushed back last summer no thanks to Charlie St. Cloud?

    that to me seemed like a really selfish reason to think that both movies would be competing against each other, you guys have no idea how big my hype is!

    this is just me speaking though

     

    what else is there really in the theater to see anyway? RANGO? no, those giant eyes will give me nightmares for a long time

    why's it say in the trailer July??

  • March 06, 2011 at 5:09 AM, said ...

    @Joobless I believe it is the movies, it seems like in order to get people in their target audience, they believe that, like the Spill Crew said, these types of movies are either falling into the "Harry Potter" crowd, or the "Twilight" crowd.  This movie completely fails on all accounts and it commits the worse sin for movies these days.  IT'S FUCKING BORING

    How awesome would it have been if he turned into Freddy Krueger?!
