My reaction to his transformation was roughly. "That's it? Shit there are women who are probably in to that, he doesn't even look that bad." and even if you take the real beast man appearance from the book into account.........you gotta remember Furries are a thing.
I agree with about the casting of Lindy. Why is Hollywood afraid of casting average/not as attractive women in lead roles? The whole "looks don't matter" thing would be more convincing if it wasn't exclusive to "guys' looks don't matter."
But his looks do matter. Specifically, his deformity in the film is designed in such a way that it doesn't affect his physique or any key facial features. He pretty much looks the sam as before, but with a shaved head and some fake tattoos. That's not a beastly mutation, that's a lame Snapchat filter.
@kztar621 So, to be clear, I don't think J-Lo or Vanessa Hudgens are attractive, but that's a really subjective topic. Beauty, and what people consider exotic as well, are both very perspective based topics. I, personally, would consider an Irish Girl, from Ireland, more exotic than a Latina from Mexico. Or an Italian more exotic than a Puerto Rican. So it's a relative concept, you know?
Jenny Nicholson said that she might have been trying to sound darker and edgier (than her HSM role) by deepening her voice, but she deepened it straight out of her natural vocal range, making her croaky.
This movie sucked. I think it have been better if the guy was forced to go to school and have people mock him for his looks. Where he learns his lesson and not have be a shut in and some of the most boring scenes in the movie just having him moping around. Then he goes and stocks his love interest. I would have liked it if Lindy knew it was Kyle there for knowing what kind of person he is and why at first she doesn't like him. It was a boring movie
I agree. How I would've handled the story is by making him just be a smug asshole, who gets into a horrible car crash, which horribly disfigured him. Like a more realistic Two Face levels. He goes to school and is mocked for looking ugly. Lindy, who is a bit haughty herself, is forced to do a project with him. Soon, she realizes what happened to him and takes pity on him, but still treats him like a normal person. They fall in love from there. Then again, I'm not sure how to handle this without making it seem like one of those stupid movies that treat disability in a demeaning manner.
9:25 I think this change was by far the worst. The point of having him be transformed into a literal beast was so that he would look worse than people with scars or deformities so that he would no longer be in a position to look down on them. By taking that away and making him only semi-deformed, (if you can even call it that,) you completely throw another great motif of the book out the window.
On top of that, I see far more dramatic and even comedic possibilities with the idea of modern people reacting to a fairytale beast and a modern spoiled rich kid reacting to being turned into one.
Except looking like a traditional beast wouldn't really be a big deal now since you could easily dismiss that as cosplay. That's the problem with modern tellings of this story; in this decade someones always going to find the beast attractive.
I hear ya with the "stupid, inappropriate jokes" about your name. I'm a Jared who works at a SubWay store, and with the whole "Jared the SubWay guy" fiasco, well... you can probably imagine how many times a day that gets pointed out to me. Lol
+Jarthkebil Oh gods, you have my condolences. o.o You've gotta be a lot more patient than I am. I'd probably beat someone the 3rd or 4th time I heard something like that, were I in your position.
It's my belief that the story of "Beauty and the Beast" can be traced as far back as Ancient Greece; perhaps having been derived from the tale of Hades and Persephone.
@@Raptorworld22 The Epic of Gilgamesh has Enkidu, and one could extend that he is 'the beast' since he was a big, furry, animal-living-with man, made by the gods to be Gilgamesh's equal so as to subdue his wickedness; Gilgamesh was just out of control, sleeping with wives and punching husbands, and so on. But, because it's a really really really hard to read story - things are often repeated verbatim several times; 'and so the people, who gilgamesh had wronged, went to the gods and said, 'o gods, gilgamesh has wronged us' and the gods looked upon the people, who gilgamesh had wrong and come and said 'o gods, gilgamesh has wronged us' and said, 'people, who gilgamesh has wronged...' -- I didn't finish it, but it's possible Enkidu met a girl and all. Bit of a stretch, though, he wasn't cursed, he just looked like a Beast-man, that's how the gods made him.
@@TheAdarkerglow honestly I just remember hearing somewhere that the "beast man falls in love with human woman" trope has existed since the epic of Gilgamesh, and that's basically the trope that's used in "beauty and the beast" anyway, curses or no curses.
and in a way this story happened in real life with petrus gonsalvus and his wife catherine, he had Hypertrichosis(werewolf syndrome), a queen forced the two to get married because she wanted to see what their children would be like, and when a child was born with the same father syndrome, the child was donated as a pet to some noble family, years later the writer of Beauty and the Beast, inspired by this couple and probably inspired by the myth of eros and psyche, wrote the story Beauty and the Beast for encourage young women to accept their husbands and arranged marriages..(they say that Catherine didn't see who she was going to marry until the time of her wedding, that's when she saw she fainted from fright)
Okay. What the actual fuck. I was watching this and thought "Yeah this video is probably a good 2 or 3 years old - he has definitely upped his production value but the personality is pretty much the same!". This video is SEVEN years old. SEVEN!?!?!?!? I can't believe it. Your personality, nerdy sense of humour and way of describing and criticising books/movies has been very consistent and I say that in the most positive way I can!! Seven years is a lot though... I didn't know you've been at it for _that_ long on UA-cam. I'm blown away. Seven years later and this video still holds a great amount of entertainment value!
New morals: 1.) Be a jerk for the first half of your life. 2.) Stalk your crush 24/7. 3.) It all pays off. Endgame: You get everything you ever wanted.
Don't mind me, just going through old videos. On the note of "There's so much stalking"- It's much better done in the book, because originally, He doesn't even stalk the main girl. At first, he uses to spy on his old friends, hoping to see them broken up about him not being around, only to see them move on, be happier without him, and admit their true feelings about him, how they hated who they were around him and how, by feeding into his ego and playing along with his assholery, they were lowering themselves to his level and they *REGRET* it. This revelation sent him reeling, and it was a blow to his ego that he needed, yes, but it was also a harsh dose of reality- He'd thought he'd known everything and was king of the kingdom, but in reality he hadn't even known his "friends". That's when he takes a different route, and he starts using the mirror and a year book to check into all the student of his school, learning things about them that he NEVER would have normally when he was at school- thing he would've never even cared to learn, if he was being honest. And that's when he see's the main girl. It's not a crush or love that makes him stop on her- but Interest. This girl, who beforehand was beneath his interest, he finds out lives out a deep, complex, and more conflicted life than he could've imagined. And its through watching her, learning from her, that starts him on the path of recovering from the curse, *long* before he falls in love. That was always the greatest Irony of the book for me- That the girl who's life was too insignificant to pay attention to would ultimately be the girl who taught him how to live his own properly.
Gregory House very true, Carrie had telekinesis. In fact the only mention of her being a witch is her mother accusing her of being a witch and her mom using it as justification to try to murder her and we are not supposed to side with Carrie’s mom since she is a crazed and abusive religious fanatic.
LaydiNite what Carrie has is telekinesis, she is not a pyromancer. The fire at the prom started because she was lashing out with her powers, in fact the movies don’t really show the full extent of Carrie’s powers because in the book she not only burned the prom, she torn apart almost all of the town. As a child in the book she was able to cause large chunks of ice to fall from the sky and hit her home when her mom tried to lock her up in a prayer closet. There is a Stephen King book called Firestarter where a young girl has the ability to start fires with her mind and there is a movie where a young Drew Barrymore played the child.
+KrimsonRogue I also heard that the alternate ending of this movie is more faithful to the book than the actual ending of this movie. But yeah, I don't get why they changed it at all.
My favorite Beauty and the Beast retelling will always be the Andrzej Sapkowski one. Is the only one that includes monster hunters, vampires and fathers selling their daughters for money.
NPH is in this? I may have to actually watch this one just to see him. Oh and as for Lindy dressed as Sonny, it reminded me of something. My twin brother in high school was the Student Body President. His Vice-President was a girl. For Halloween, she was Sonny and he was Cher. He was a foot taller than her (so it kind of worked). It was hilarious and seeing Lindy like that made me smile remembering that
I personally don't like the "friendzone". It's just.. Men who get close to women out of interest. The curse never says if the love has to be romantic. I get he is dissapointed about his feelings not being returned, but women will want genuine friends too, who don't want to get in their pants. Some guys are very rude about this. I once had a guy friend who got close to me, said he'd always be there for me, who i confided my worries to, and when I told him I had a girlfriend he said "So I wasted my time all along ? You're just friendzoning me?" I thought I had a genuine friend in him and he dropped me because he just wanted to date me. So yeah, heartbroken ? perfectly fine. being "friendzoned" because you got close to a woman out of interest ? No. The friendzone doesn't exist.
The movie may have made the female lead just say it because she is unsure about her feelings about him. Sometimes, people dont want to say I like you yet and it all leads to a misunderstanding. Also you're right. Guys just gotta be like "you're not single? Oh well. Better luck next time." Sometimes, people just gotta talk it out before defining the relationship whether they're just friends or something more
@@HenshinHeroesMedia oh I know that, I wasn't commenting on the book or movie, but in the joke made in the video about how friendzone is such a bad thing for a man, pity the man who couldnt get into the girl's pants, not the girl who thought she had a friend but got dropped once the guy realises he cant date her. I just dont like the friendzone as a general concept.
@@JayTheRatMan i get ya. society can be bias depending on which gender you are (cis or trans and whatever). Plus, it's good for people to learn that it doesn't work out because reasons. We should move on since it would be wrong to push someone's feelings into your terms. Love and relationships are all about equality.
I finished the book yesterday. I thought the book was gonna be bad too but shockingly, it's actually better, if not a little creepy. This is by far, the easiest book I've ever read in my life. The writer made the words smooth and easy to read. I can see why YA novels are popular. Anyway, this was a good book. The movie on the other hand doesn't do the book justice. The movie was so terrible.
Ahaha! I love listening to your reviews, but I have one small favor. Could you review Sea of Monsters? I know you'll probably get more drunk than in the Lightning Thief, but it be great to hear your opinion! Stay awesome!
(ehem) let me just say, I don't normally agree with a "friendzone" mentality except under three conditions, and ALL THREE (except maybe the second one, but they must be single for that one to be null) must be true for you to complain. 1: you MUST tell your crush about your feelings. 2: if they have a S.O., they must constantly complain about them. 3: they must compare ALL potential or current suitors TO YOU in a favorable manor. or this is also a viable reason to complain about the friendzone. They were your s.o., they broke up with you and said you could still be friends, and you never heard from them again.
I would love for someone to remake this movie but make it closer to the book. I just watched the movie again recently when it was free on UA-cam, and it was rouuuuuuugh. I remembered loving the book in highschool. I just finished rereading the book and it was way more charming. The beginning was super cringe because the protagonist is super cringe, but everything just flowed better in the book.
Please. PLease. PLEase. PLEAse. PLEASe. PLEASE. PLEASE! PLEASE!! PLEASE!!! Do How To Train Your Dragon. Oh and I would like more details about the books in future reviews if it's ok.
Now, just o be clear, do you want more detail up front about the book (synopsis, history, publishing details) or more notes about changes the movie made from the book? Also, your request has been noted. :D
Lol You got me thinking of Rise of the Guardians. I enjoyed the movie immensely & now I wonder KrimsonRogue would you make a review of Rise of the Guardians??
Now, i want a beauty x beast, where the beauty dumps beast, he stays a beast and learns to live a fulfilling life as a beast. fk that may very well be Oregairu snafu
"So he starts a campaign speech by insulting the voting block, making sweeping, derogatory statements about them and they cheer him on anyway. This man is ready for politics!" That isn't so unbelievable nowadays
If the thing that lifts the curse is someone loving him for more than his looks, why isn't it lifted by the housekeeper who seemed like a mother figure?
Finally! Someone to review this film! I just went in to see that with my boyfriend (when we're just beginning to date) to see how it holds up to the book. It wasn't enough. Not even with the awesomeness of Neil Patrick Harris. Thank you, sir. Thank you. (salutes)
I enjoy the movie but I’ll always be bitter that they didn’t include my two fave moments from the book aka Lindy trying on the dress from the top floor and the moment when they watch The Princess Bride together and have the sweetest moment. 🥺
...the time traveler's wife didn't have stalking...unless you're referring to when he would travel back in time to see her which he couldn't control so is that really considered stalking? And when they're older she finds him so? Confused.
I really don't think a scrying mirror is better than him physically stalking her. The mirror is as creeping as filling someone's house with cameras (and possibly microphones).
I don't think Carrie was a witch, in the book it stated she had strong psychic abilities even when she was newborn, keeping her mother from trying to kill her with a pair of scissors.
I hate those public love confessions. I just want the earth to swallow me whole, or even better, swallow those characters. And everyone stands around looking at them, as if they have nothing better to do, well, considering people spent their hard earned cash paying to watch it, perhaps that is more realistic than I thought. And then the clapping. Why would people clap, when people they barely know, if they know them at all, make a public spectacle of themselves and sprout out enough sugar to make half the continent diabetic. Those people are blocking hallways or airports or other places people want to pass through. I can think of a dozen more likely scenarios than clapping. Half of them end in a broken nose and would make for a far less cringe-worthy ending. Why do this ending, when even the book did not subject innocent bystanders to the sappiness of the happy couple professing their undying, totally not skin-deep love. I liked the scene in the book, in which Kendra went home. I preferred the dynamic before Lindy came over, to be honest. Lindy was fine as a character, but the romance was not my favourite part. It rarely is.
I was trying to forget this movie ever existed! I wrote a story that was very familiar to this, about teenage fairy tale characters in high school (having dark magic weaved through with the addition of mundane humans never acknowledging their existence save for a few people) but while I wrote this at the age of 14, I am glad I didn't publish it. Why is it always pretty people???? Like he doesn't even look that bad. He looks kind of cool.
Scream Queen here; Hey Kyle! It's good 2 have you and Holly back (He's my friend; like my big brother) And my cousin Holly's his girlfriend) I'm glad you liked the 2 fairytale movies We made (That's me and Jimmy made) And I'm glad you wanna help me premote them.....Okay----Unhappily Ever After----Based around this----Penelope----And Labryinth, and a Not so well known Jim Henson flick called Mirror Mask----It's what happens if Darker Fairytale characters (AKA) Parents----Expect you 2 be something your not----Also based around The Aerosmith Vid Jaded---And The Stone Sour (Hey Corey! He's R friend) And plays The Mad Hatter in this and Thru The Looking Glass----Back 2 Unhappily Ever After----The Darker Fairytale characters---Say The Wicked Queen----Will lock you in a tower (that THEY think will be your Happily Ever after----But this of course isn't.....Said with one of my favorite Mirror Mask Lines---I'm not shouting---Then what would you call it? I snapped You're going 2 be The Death of me---I wish I was....Now Linda Hamilton (Cause remember we know her---HEY! She's like Me, Faith, and Jimmy's mom----and is The Different Incarnations of the Wicked Queen) Kendra (played by The Olsen Twins---Hey guys) Is the Mad Hatter who's helping me find my way 2 My Real Happily Ever After....And it's wicked awesome.....
I seriously can't wait for you to review I Am Number 4. I can very well imagine you hating the shit out of Alex Pettyfer's performance in that movie. :)
Were you home schooled? I went to public schools and a lot of the "cool kids" like Kyle were pretty much the norm. Thanks for not laughing at the "friend zone". Beastly's my favorite of the B.& B. retellings. But reason the "Beauty" has to be played by a hot chick's because too many producers are chickens at heart. ;D
Scream Queen Here---Thru The Looking Glass---Is based around The Video----(remember we said we know Corey---Hey!) And the song he wrote 4 me and Jimmy----It centers around (Again---Penelope and Beastly) And The Tom Petty Music Vid INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN----Where as you remember the Tom Petty/Mad Hatter vid) R agent would be Kendra----Who after making sure we had R taste of fame---In a mystical version of Behind The Music----We still got R lives back---and as they say----And We All Lived Happily Ever After---(Go watch The videos right now!) Also watch The Mirror Mask movie review---With The "Close 2 you." Transformation scene---giving you everything you need 2 know---You're gonna love these ones guys! Tell your friends! See ya!
I'm really concerned *that* is what the filmmakers thought was ugly. That *that* is what constituted a minor being locked away from society for. I feel like they would consider everyone below a 9 to be bad-looking. The Ryan Reynolds Deadpool looked uglier than that, and that's Ryan fucking Reynolds. Hell, the silly Phantom of the Opera with the Zuko scar was still uglier than that.
I don't know. I find making Kyle in the movie be just tattooed pretty stupid. In other versions, the beast was a literal monster and lost his human form, so him locking himself away from humanity makes total sense. Here, it seems like an extreme overreaction, because he just looks like himself with cool tattoos. Hell, he looks like a younger version of Wade Wilson! It's like if someone boarded themselves up from humanity because they had a zit. It's just unrelatable. Having tattoos and scars isn't a bad thing. Plenty of people who have a lot of tattoos are very attractive. I get what they were trying to go for in this, but it just doesn't send the message across correctly and makes the movie fall flat. If they wanted this to work, they should've either made his scars be way more extreme (like a burn victim or someone who got into a horrible car accident...or like Two Face from The Dark Knight) or made him an actual monster. Someone out there would be into either of those, but at least it would make more sense.
bruh this movie was such a disappointment compared to the book. The changed appearances and depictions, and the fuCkiNG GrEen DreSs oMFG. I was so disappointed throughout the entire movie and thought that if she wore the green dress mentioned in the story it would be alright and not that much of a waste of time, but to my dismay, THEY DIDNT EVEN MENTION IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Krimson. I just discovered that you made a Review of City of bones. But it has been blocked in my Country. Did anything important to the plot in your Episode happen? Because I am trying to find the Episode in which NPC first appeared and I suspect it was that one.
NPC doesn't really have a proper introduction, he was always just off in the background. The first time we ever see him is in the Troy review, and the first time he's ever really in full costume and proper form is in the Vampire Assistant review. Though the City of Bones review does have storyline to it. It got flagged again and youtube failed to let me know about it. Hope that helps.
Your reaction to watching high school musicals is almost the exact reaction i have when i think of musical movies. I didnt watch this movie because it sounds stupid and it looks like it is,plus whoever was the makeup artist in this movie he did a very poor job,he doesn't even look that ugly. Neil patrick harris looked more like matt murdock than cyclops.
I admire your resolve; you made it through both the book and movie to make this review. I can't do either...which is probably why I asked you to do it XD. Seriously, there wasn't one believable moment in any of the scenes you showed me. You have tolerance of steel. Review could've used more NPH though:(
Every review could use more NPH. :P But yeah, I actually didn't have a problem with him (though he acted like he just showed up to film for a day or two because it was on the way to something else), and I wanted to focus on other problems/plot elements.
I guess I have an unpopular opinion. I know this is a rather old video but I like the way they did his makeup. The way I see it is that this is HIS version of the worst thing, HIS version of ugly and a beast. He hides away because that's what his father wants, he is scared because like I said this is HIS idea of the worst. She is teaching him that he was more and is more than looks unlike the way his father raised him... but that's just my opinion and the way I see it.
Now I read the book in Secondary school and, yeah, it's by no means a masterpiece. But this adaptation did leave out one part of the book I enjoyed..... *They didn't add the Fairy Tale group therapy sessions* 0/10
@@godzillavkk In between parts of the book it shows Kyle attending online group therapy with other people who get cursed (the Frog prince, the bear from Snow White and Rose Red, the Little Mermaid) and basically they talk about their situations and what they're doing about it. It's honestly pretty entertaining.
@@absolite6 Cool. A shared universe. If these books got a better scriptwriter, this could make a very nice film series with references and callbacks to other stories.
as soon as I saw you review this movie, It honestly made me think of Stormbreaker because of Alex Pettyfyr and I really hope that you review that, the book was so well written and had some charm, action and good laughs. Only to be ruined by the horrible movie.
I feel like it needed to be more scary tattoos. Lines aren't scary. Have half the face tattooed like a skull or that guy who wants to be Red Skull. Something like that.
My reaction to his transformation was roughly. "That's it? Shit there are women who are probably in to that, he doesn't even look that bad."
and even if you take the real beast man appearance from the book into account.........you gotta remember Furries are a thing.
Like, I was so into him after his transformation
The problem is, no matter how beastly or ugly you make him. There is always going to be one sick fuck that is into him.
"Wait, that's it? A handsome younger brother to Wade Wilson? Oh shit, that's awesome!"
Yeah, Luther from The Umbrella Academy proved that
If he had more scars and less tattoos. I wouldve been more immersed
I agree with about the casting of Lindy. Why is Hollywood afraid of casting average/not as attractive women in lead roles? The whole "looks don't matter" thing would be more convincing if it wasn't exclusive to "guys' looks don't matter."
Plus beauty is different for other people. Somebody's Victoria's secret girlfriend is somebody's only-just-a-friend
Well we got penelope. Reversed rolls to show the same message🤷♀️ doesn't that count for anything?
Sure but it’s quite a minority.
But his looks do matter. Specifically, his deformity in the film is designed in such a way that it doesn't affect his physique or any key facial features. He pretty much looks the sam as before, but with a shaved head and some fake tattoos. That's not a beastly mutation, that's a lame Snapchat filter.

Ike of Pyke Kinda sad. A modern version of gaston would've been badass.
Brandy Loutherback I think they wanted to make Gaston and the Beast similar to show how people change.
Gaston isn't in the original fairy tale. I'm guessing the book is not based on the Disney version.
@@HanakochanPrincess you realise the Disney version is an adaptation right?
I always died at the part "I've seen worse" like that's a compliment and supposed to make him feel better.
This movie could use a remake. Fairy Tales retold in modern settings has a lot of potential to me.
Once upon a time anyone?
What about history? I got an idea for an adaptation of the Tale of the Genji

Why does Vanessa Hudgens sound like she chain-smoked forty cigarettes before filming this?
Cause she did. Chain smoked 40 backwoods blunts.
Jenny Nicholson said that she might have been trying to sound darker and edgier (than her HSM role) by deepening her voice, but she deepened it straight out of her natural vocal range, making her croaky.
Actually, Neil Patrick Harris looks like he is trying to look like Matt Murdock
William Carmickle his character was blind in the movie. So it makes sense
Not to reply three years late, but I would watch the *shit* out of a Daredevil movie starring NPH.
I've been watching Murdoch's Mysteries and so I tried to connect Neil Patrick Harris with a turn of the century Canadian detective for a second there.

It's my belief that the story of "Beauty and the Beast" can be traced as far back as Ancient Greece; perhaps having been derived from the tale of Hades and Persephone.

Hollywood is blinded by beauty
Beauty is subjective.
Okay. What the actual fuck. I was watching this and thought "Yeah this video is probably a good 2 or 3 years old - he has definitely upped his production value but the personality is pretty much the same!". This video is SEVEN years old. SEVEN!?!?!?!?
I can't believe it. Your personality, nerdy sense of humour and way of describing and criticising books/movies has been very consistent and I say that in the most positive way I can!!
Seven years is a lot though... I didn't know you've been at it for _that_ long on UA-cam. I'm blown away. Seven years later and this video still holds a great amount of entertainment value!
Neil patrick harris in his best cyclops cosplay. Id say he looks more like daredevil.
New morals: 1.) Be a jerk for the first half of your life. 2.) Stalk your crush 24/7. 3.) It all pays off. Endgame: You get everything you ever wanted.
1, be an asshole
2, be a stalker
3, ??????
4, profit I guess
Don't mind me, just going through old videos.
On the note of "There's so much stalking"- It's much better done in the book, because originally, He doesn't even stalk the main girl. At first, he uses to spy on his old friends, hoping to see them broken up about him not being around, only to see them move on, be happier without him, and admit their true feelings about him, how they hated who they were around him and how, by feeding into his ego and playing along with his assholery, they were lowering themselves to his level and they *REGRET* it. This revelation sent him reeling, and it was a blow to his ego that he needed, yes, but it was also a harsh dose of reality- He'd thought he'd known everything and was king of the kingdom, but in reality he hadn't even known his "friends".
That's when he takes a different route, and he starts using the mirror and a year book to check into all the student of his school, learning things about them that he NEVER would have normally when he was at school- thing he would've never even cared to learn, if he was being honest.
And that's when he see's the main girl. It's not a crush or love that makes him stop on her- but Interest. This girl, who beforehand was beneath his interest, he finds out lives out a deep, complex, and more conflicted life than he could've imagined. And its through watching her, learning from her, that starts him on the path of recovering from the curse, *long* before he falls in love.
That was always the greatest Irony of the book for me- That the girl who's life was too insignificant to pay attention to would ultimately be the girl who taught him how to live his own properly.
Carrie wasn't a witch. And to me, NPH looks more like DareDevil.
Ha! You're right, actually.
Gregory House very true, Carrie had telekinesis. In fact the only mention of her being a witch is her mother accusing her of being a witch and her mom using it as justification to try to murder her and we are not supposed to side with Carrie’s mom since she is a crazed and abusive religious fanatic.
Carrie wasn't a witch, she was psychic. There's a difference.
No she is a hot topic shopper
No she's a psycho who happens to know some voodoo
@@satireknight She's meant to be a pyromancer, someone with psychic control over fire.
LaydiNite what Carrie has is telekinesis, she is not a pyromancer. The fire at the prom started because she was lashing out with her powers, in fact the movies don’t really show the full extent of Carrie’s powers because in the book she not only burned the prom, she torn apart almost all of the town. As a child in the book she was able to cause large chunks of ice to fall from the sky and hit her home when her mom tried to lock her up in a prayer closet. There is a Stephen King book called Firestarter where a young girl has the ability to start fires with her mind and there is a movie where a young Drew Barrymore played the child.
Strawberry Queen Carrie’s mom wouldn’t let her shop at Hot Topic because her mom would probably believe that it promoted worshipping the devil.
With that detail of Kendra now working for Kyle's dad I want a sequel of that. Put him through the curse!
My biggest problem with this movie was that I thought Kyle looked better while cursed than he normally did.
Bro same 😭
Don't worry about kidnapping, just call it an adoption, worked well with the Kents.
+The Magical Robot Prisma Lol XD
+KrimsonRogue I also heard that the alternate ending of this movie is more faithful to the book than the actual ending of this movie. But yeah, I don't get why they changed it at all.
I get it.
The Magical Robot Prisma I hate this joke! How else do you adopt an alien?!
The Magical Robot Prisma
You cant kidnap an orphan, they weren’t wanted in the first place
My favorite Beauty and the Beast retelling will always be the Andrzej Sapkowski one. Is the only one that includes monster hunters, vampires and fathers selling their daughters for money.
Mae Whitman should have played Vanessa Hudgen's role.
NPH is in this? I may have to actually watch this one just to see him.
Oh and as for Lindy dressed as Sonny, it reminded me of something. My twin brother in high school was the Student Body President. His Vice-President was a girl. For Halloween, she was Sonny and he was Cher. He was a foot taller than her (so it kind of worked). It was hilarious and seeing Lindy like that made me smile remembering that
I personally don't like the "friendzone". It's just.. Men who get close to women out of interest. The curse never says if the love has to be romantic. I get he is dissapointed about his feelings not being returned, but women will want genuine friends too, who don't want to get in their pants.
Some guys are very rude about this. I once had a guy friend who got close to me, said he'd always be there for me, who i confided my worries to, and when I told him I had a girlfriend he said "So I wasted my time all along ? You're just friendzoning me?" I thought I had a genuine friend in him and he dropped me because he just wanted to date me.
So yeah, heartbroken ? perfectly fine. being "friendzoned" because you got close to a woman out of interest ? No. The friendzone doesn't exist.
The movie may have made the female lead just say it because she is unsure about her feelings about him. Sometimes, people dont want to say I like you yet and it all leads to a misunderstanding. Also you're right. Guys just gotta be like "you're not single? Oh well. Better luck next time." Sometimes, people just gotta talk it out before defining the relationship whether they're just friends or something more
@@HenshinHeroesMedia oh I know that, I wasn't commenting on the book or movie, but in the joke made in the video about how friendzone is such a bad thing for a man, pity the man who couldnt get into the girl's pants, not the girl who thought she had a friend but got dropped once the guy realises he cant date her.
I just dont like the friendzone as a general concept.
@@JayTheRatMan i get ya. society can be bias depending on which gender you are (cis or trans and whatever). Plus, it's good for people to learn that it doesn't work out because reasons. We should move on since it would be wrong to push someone's feelings into your terms. Love and relationships are all about equality.
I’m sorry you had to experience that with who you thought was a friend
@@gracekim25 Thanks that's very sweet of you ❤
"This man is ready for politics." Oh past Krimson, you had no idea.
I wonder if Vanessa Hudgens enjoyed staring at that drunk picture of herself during the premier of this film. I wouldn't if I was in her position.
do NOT drag high school musical into this. That series is a masterpiece and I will not tolerate any insults thrown at it.
cg standing no you only like it because it reminds you of your childhood
Molly wtf don’t tell me why I like something. I didn’t even grow up liking high school musical. I was a camp rock kid.
Meh I hated HSM, but is probably because I hate musicals in.general
Eh, it's ok
@@elisinwonderland1306 The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals is a musical for people who don't like musicals. >uO
"Inappropriate Kyle Stalker joke"

As a fellow Adaptation Reviewer, I give you massive props.
though I mostly do article reviews.
I finished the book yesterday. I thought the book was gonna be bad too but shockingly, it's actually better, if not a little creepy. This is by far, the easiest book I've ever read in my life. The writer made the words smooth and easy to read. I can see why YA novels are popular. Anyway, this was a good book. The movie on the other hand doesn't do the book justice. The movie was so terrible.
It's a real shame that I find standard adult novels as lacking any flare or soul.
Ahaha! I love listening to your reviews, but I have one small favor. Could you review Sea of Monsters? I know you'll probably get more drunk than in the Lightning Thief, but it be great to hear your opinion! Stay awesome!
(ehem) let me just say, I don't normally agree with a "friendzone" mentality except under three conditions, and ALL THREE (except maybe the second one, but they must be single for that one to be null) must be true for you to complain. 1: you MUST tell your crush about your feelings. 2: if they have a S.O., they must constantly complain about them. 3: they must compare ALL potential or current suitors TO YOU in a favorable manor.
or this is also a viable reason to complain about the friendzone. They were your s.o., they broke up with you and said you could still be friends, and you never heard from them again.
I would love for someone to remake this movie but make it closer to the book. I just watched the movie again recently when it was free on UA-cam, and it was rouuuuuuugh. I remembered loving the book in highschool. I just finished rereading the book and it was way more charming. The beginning was super cringe because the protagonist is super cringe, but everything just flowed better in the book.
The ex girlfriend will later have a beast of her own whose into bondage...
Please. PLease. PLEase. PLEAse. PLEASe. PLEASE. PLEASE! PLEASE!! PLEASE!!! Do How To Train Your Dragon. Oh and I would like more details about the books in future reviews if it's ok.
Now, just o be clear, do you want more detail up front about the book (synopsis, history, publishing details) or more notes about changes the movie made from the book? Also, your request has been noted. :D
the changes made by the movie.and thanks. :)
What's wrong with the movie? It's amazing.
Kalain Reinard it changed some very good stuff.
Lol You got me thinking of Rise of the Guardians. I enjoyed the movie immensely & now I wonder KrimsonRogue would you make a review of Rise of the Guardians??
5:54 If only we were so lucky as to get THAT ending.
Now, i want a beauty x beast, where the beauty dumps beast, he stays a beast and learns to live a fulfilling life as a beast.
fk that may very well be Oregairu snafu
"So he starts a campaign speech by insulting the voting block, making sweeping, derogatory statements about them and they cheer him on anyway. This man is ready for politics!"
That isn't so unbelievable nowadays
If the thing that lifts the curse is someone loving him for more than his looks, why isn't it lifted by the housekeeper who seemed like a mother figure?
Finally! Someone to review this film! I just went in to see that with my boyfriend (when we're just beginning to date) to see how it holds up to the book. It wasn't enough. Not even with the awesomeness of Neil Patrick Harris. Thank you, sir. Thank you. (salutes)
Thanks! XD Glad you enjoyed! :D
Can't wait to see what you have in store! :D I got Linkara to lead me here! You'e awesome
I remember seeing that guy in a Nintendo magazine when I was a kid and finding him attractive... it has not carried into adulthood.
they changed the ending because some test audiences didn't like it
That’s just TERRIBLE! It sounds more exciting than what they ended up doing
The GLORIOUS Krimson!!!
I actually like the High School Musical movies...
Kati Morado
Me too! They were my entire childhood.
I guess you grew up with them. Personally, I've never seen them and have no interest in doing so. But, I've heard a couple of songs and found them ok.
Same.
Especially 2.
Plebeians: I like High School Musical
Gods: I like Teen Beach Movie
it's pronounced "la belle et la bet"
Your reviews are seriously the best! I love the humor!😄😃
I love the Simpson's reference, "You can watch his heart break right about . . . . "
I enjoy the movie but I’ll always be bitter that they didn’t include my two fave moments from the book aka Lindy trying on the dress from the top floor and the moment when they watch The Princess Bride together and have the sweetest moment. 🥺
“Movie, your morals... suck!”
Movie: Embrace the suck!
No no no it's EBRACE THE *SuCC*
I can't be the only one who thinks that Kyle looks like one of the Nosferatu from Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines
*Insert name related teasing here*
Completely serious reference to The Friendzone? Yep, this is from 2014 alright
...the time traveler's wife didn't have stalking...unless you're referring to when he would travel back in time to see her which he couldn't control so is that really considered stalking? And when they're older she finds him so? Confused.
Its weird seeing Krim not refer to Pedopher as his nemesis.
I really don't think a scrying mirror is better than him physically stalking her. The mirror is as creeping as filling someone's house with cameras (and possibly microphones).
It would be cool for an adaptation of this story with the elephant man angle😅
I don't think Carrie was a witch, in the book it stated she had strong psychic abilities even when she was newborn, keeping her mother from trying to kill her with a pair of scissors.
I hate those public love confessions. I just want the earth to swallow me whole, or even better, swallow those characters.
And everyone stands around looking at them, as if they have nothing better to do, well, considering people spent their hard earned cash paying to watch it, perhaps that is more realistic than I thought.
And then the clapping. Why would people clap, when people they barely know, if they know them at all, make a public spectacle of themselves and sprout out enough sugar to make half the continent diabetic. Those people are blocking hallways or airports or other places people want to pass through. I can think of a dozen more likely scenarios than clapping. Half of them end in a broken nose and would make for a far less cringe-worthy ending.
Why do this ending, when even the book did not subject innocent bystanders to the sappiness of the happy couple professing their undying, totally not skin-deep love.
I liked the scene in the book, in which Kendra went home. I preferred the dynamic before Lindy came over, to be honest. Lindy was fine as a character, but the romance was not my favourite part. It rarely is.
I was trying to forget this movie ever existed! I wrote a story that was very familiar to this, about teenage fairy tale characters in high school (having dark magic weaved through with the addition of mundane humans never acknowledging their existence save for a few people) but while I wrote this at the age of 14, I am glad I didn't publish it. Why is it always pretty people???? Like he doesn't even look that bad. He looks kind of cool.
Scream Queen here; Hey Kyle! It's good 2 have you and Holly back (He's my friend; like my big brother) And my cousin Holly's his girlfriend) I'm glad you liked the 2 fairytale movies We made (That's me and Jimmy made) And I'm glad you wanna help me premote them.....Okay----Unhappily Ever After----Based around this----Penelope----And Labryinth, and a Not so well known Jim Henson flick called Mirror Mask----It's what happens if Darker Fairytale characters (AKA) Parents----Expect you 2 be something your not----Also based around The Aerosmith Vid Jaded---And The Stone Sour (Hey Corey! He's R friend) And plays The Mad Hatter in this and Thru The Looking Glass----Back 2 Unhappily Ever After----The Darker Fairytale characters---Say The Wicked Queen----Will lock you in a tower (that THEY think will be your Happily Ever after----But this of course isn't.....Said with one of my favorite Mirror Mask Lines---I'm not shouting---Then what would you call it? I snapped You're going 2 be The Death of me---I wish I was....Now Linda Hamilton (Cause remember we know her---HEY! She's like Me, Faith, and Jimmy's mom----and is The Different Incarnations of the Wicked Queen) Kendra (played by The Olsen Twins---Hey guys) Is the Mad Hatter who's helping me find my way 2 My Real Happily Ever After....And it's wicked awesome.....
I seriously can't wait for you to review I Am Number 4. I can very well imagine you hating the shit out of Alex Pettyfer's performance in that movie. :)
Well......how was it
Were you home schooled? I went to public schools and a lot of the "cool kids" like Kyle were pretty much the norm. Thanks for not laughing at the "friend zone". Beastly's my favorite of the B.& B. retellings. But reason the "Beauty" has to be played by a hot chick's because too many producers are chickens at heart. ;D
You know its interesting to see reviewers accidentally predicting the future
Carrey isn't a witch
Witchcraft and Psychic powers are quite different.
ShadowWolfRising how does psychic power do that?
Scream Queen Here---Thru The Looking Glass---Is based around The Video----(remember we said we know Corey---Hey!) And the song he wrote 4 me and Jimmy----It centers around (Again---Penelope and Beastly) And The Tom Petty Music Vid INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN----Where as you remember the Tom Petty/Mad Hatter vid) R agent would be Kendra----Who after making sure we had R taste of fame---In a mystical version of Behind The Music----We still got R lives back---and as they say----And We All Lived Happily Ever After---(Go watch The videos right now!) Also watch The Mirror Mask movie review---With The "Close 2 you." Transformation scene---giving you everything you need 2 know---You're gonna love these ones guys! Tell your friends! See ya!
I'm really concerned *that* is what the filmmakers thought was ugly. That *that* is what constituted a minor being locked away from society for. I feel like they would consider everyone below a 9 to be bad-looking. The Ryan Reynolds Deadpool looked uglier than that, and that's Ryan fucking Reynolds. Hell, the silly Phantom of the Opera with the Zuko scar was still uglier than that.
Haha his name's Kyle and your name's Kyle so it's funny.
I don't know. I find making Kyle in the movie be just tattooed pretty stupid. In other versions, the beast was a literal monster and lost his human form, so him locking himself away from humanity makes total sense. Here, it seems like an extreme overreaction, because he just looks like himself with cool tattoos. Hell, he looks like a younger version of Wade Wilson! It's like if someone boarded themselves up from humanity because they had a zit. It's just unrelatable. Having tattoos and scars isn't a bad thing. Plenty of people who have a lot of tattoos are very attractive. I get what they were trying to go for in this, but it just doesn't send the message across correctly and makes the movie fall flat. If they wanted this to work, they should've either made his scars be way more extreme (like a burn victim or someone who got into a horrible car accident...or like Two Face from The Dark Knight) or made him an actual monster. Someone out there would be into either of those, but at least it would make more sense.
Am i the only one who finds barney- i mean olaf- i mean teen doc- i mean neil a gift from the gods?!
And people say Twilight is the worst fantasy novel based movie about love of supernatural being and human
It still is, to be honest.
When I saw they chose Vanessa Hudgens for this role I didn't bother watching the movie. I've never seen something miss the point so hard in my life.
Okay, that's a lie, I probably have, but you get the idea.
bruh this movie was such a disappointment compared to the book. The changed appearances and depictions, and the fuCkiNG GrEen DreSs oMFG. I was so disappointed throughout the entire movie and thought that if she wore the green dress mentioned in the story it would be alright and not that much of a waste of time, but to my dismay, THEY DIDNT EVEN MENTION IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Krimson. I just discovered that you made a Review of City of bones. But it has been blocked in my Country. Did anything important to the plot in your Episode happen? Because I am trying to find the Episode in which NPC first appeared and I suspect it was that one.
NPC doesn't really have a proper introduction, he was always just off in the background. The first time we ever see him is in the Troy review, and the first time he's ever really in full costume and proper form is in the Vampire Assistant review. Though the City of Bones review does have storyline to it. It got flagged again and youtube failed to let me know about it.
Hope that helps.
It does, thank you. I hope I can see it one day
Will you just do an book was better episode of I AM NUMBER FOUR? Your fans are waiting!
Hahahaha I loved the Vader "noooooo...."
Your reaction to watching high school musicals is almost the exact reaction i have when i think of musical movies.
I didnt watch this movie because it sounds stupid and it looks like it is,plus whoever was the makeup artist in this movie he did a very poor job,he doesn't even look that ugly.
Neil patrick harris looked more like matt murdock than cyclops.
Why do I get the feeling that Krimson works for MegaCorp?
(Congratulations to any of you who actually know what UA-camr that’s from)
I want to see the final updated list of all the books you've read where the MC stalks the love interest
And it's sad that male characters considered more manly, get away with it by the audience.
I admire your resolve; you made it through both the book and movie to make this review. I can't do either...which is probably why I asked you to do it XD. Seriously, there wasn't one believable moment in any of the scenes you showed me. You have tolerance of steel. Review could've used more NPH though:(
Every review could use more NPH. :P But yeah, I actually didn't have a problem with him (though he acted like he just showed up to film for a day or two because it was on the way to something else), and I wanted to focus on other problems/plot elements.
Holy shit, that was Dakota "Fifty Shades of Grey" Johnson as the blonde girlfriend.
I guess I have an unpopular opinion. I know this is a rather old video but I like the way they did his makeup. The way I see it is that this is HIS version of the worst thing, HIS version of ugly and a beast. He hides away because that's what his father wants, he is scared because like I said this is HIS idea of the worst. She is teaching him that he was more and is more than looks unlike the way his father raised him... but that's just my opinion and the way I see it.
I miss this Vanessa before the whole Instagram livestream thing.
?
I’ll admit the tattoo on Kyle looks cool.
*(insert "Sipider-Man pointing at Spider-Man" meme here)*
It's pronounced 'La Bet'.
This is why I should study French. :P
3:18 I haven't laughed this hard in a while
I loved the time traveler's wife! So sad t_t
Now I read the book in Secondary school and, yeah, it's by no means a masterpiece.
But this adaptation did leave out one part of the book I enjoyed.....
*They didn't add the Fairy Tale group therapy sessions*
0/10
Fairy tale group therapy? That's something I gotta see.
@@godzillavkk In between parts of the book it shows Kyle attending online group therapy with other people who get cursed (the Frog prince, the bear from Snow White and Rose Red, the Little Mermaid) and basically they talk about their situations and what they're doing about it. It's honestly pretty entertaining.
@@absolite6 Cool. A shared universe. If these books got a better scriptwriter, this could make a very nice film series with references and callbacks to other stories.
Do "Queen of the Damned" Please!!!
every time they say suck I only hear "SUCC"
Kendra: Best embrace the suck
Kyle: That’s what she said!
as soon as I saw you review this movie, It honestly made me think of Stormbreaker because of Alex Pettyfyr and I really hope that you review that, the book was so well written and had some charm, action and good laughs. Only to be ruined by the horrible movie.
The book is on my shelf, ready to be read! Just need to get the movie next.
Yo ima need you to roll me one of those uber joints lmao.
I don't know who you are, but I have found you and I have subscribed to you.
From the way that started, I thought you were going to say you had a certain set of skills. XD
i feel the tattoos are way too much, the scars and warts things like that would have been far more effective and relatable.
I feel like it needed to be more scary tattoos. Lines aren't scary. Have half the face tattooed like a skull or that guy who wants to be Red Skull. Something like that.
WAIT that’s actually Mary-Kate?! Is this one of the last times one of the twins does acting?
