I was going to put 4 stars but realized that everything is not as bad as other people says. OK, some details are shocking if this story takes place in France of middle age. But it's fantasy so... Most of the songs are good and it's a good mix between the first version of Disney and the Broadway show.And I like that... But if you don't liked the story in the animated movie, go away. It's not a remake of the cocteau's movie and not even the last one with Vincent Cassel. It's only a family movie with many ingredients to make it work in movie theatres but not many passion. You can laugh, you can cry but there's a lack of feelings. If you had all the mistakes I spoke in the beginning, that's a 5-6 stars.

This is the kind of film where it is difficult to do something credible. Here, everything is "too much" even the Rock's muscles. We have caricatured characters who seem to survive only when the entire city collapses, but are struggling to attract sympathy. The wicked die too quickly and seem almost ridiculous.

OK, the CGI are almost well done. The 3D starts well, but, as often, there's a lack of good use of this technology after the half of the movie. We don't have a pompous music as in a Bruckheimer production but we are not far of the same recipe.

Yet in all this, we are distracted, because it is only for this. A popcorn movie more!
