The Acclaim: Disney's latest live-action adaptation of a classic animated film was generally lauded for its impeccable visuals and production design, catchy songs (both new creations and renditions of much-loved tunes) and entertaining performances.

Why Everyone Will Hate It: Though Beauty and the Beast smashed more than $1.2 billion at the box office, it's clear from the divisive online response to the film that a lot of fans were left enormously disappointed by it, falling far short of the 1991 Best Picture-nominated original.

Most of the complaints involved Emma Watson's ear-assaultingly auto-tuned voice, the excessively padded runtime and its inability to conjure the same emotion as the animated version. When you can choose between the two, why would you ever bother with this one again?
