The soundtrack for the film, composed of beautiful orchestral pieces, was absolutely breathtaking. Additionally, the actors played the characters so well that you could feel the love and tension through the screen. Emma Watson, the actress who played Belle, was especially astounding, as she was a significant factor in setting the light-hearted yet exciting tone for the whole movie.

Lastly, words can’t describe how magnificent the setting was for this movie. Even though the movie was filmed entirely on a set, the artistic backdrops made it feel as if they were indeed in France, the original setting for “Beauty and the Beast.”

TV:

Saved By The Bell:

The 2020 reboot of the original 1989 sitcom, “Saved By The Bell,” is an excellent, feel-good show that brings back all the good moments and characters from the original. 

One thing people especially loved about the reboot that they did not find when watching the original was that the characters in this remake were allowed to grow and change, which they did not do in the original.

Overall, the characters are unforgettable and nostalgic, and the show is just how everyone remembers it. This spectacular reboot is absolutely incredible, and rating sites, such as Rotten Tomatoes, gave the show a 76%!

iCarly:

The 2021 reboot of the original 2007 Nickelodeon series, “iCarly,” did not fail to amaze everyone’s expectations. With most of the original characters, like Carly and Freddie, coming back to the screen, the nostalgia from watching this show in the early 2010s undoubtedly appears. 

The show not only brings back memories from the original but also adds a fresh twist to it, adding 2021 ideas, such as “canceling” Spencer when he says something rude about Carly’s show. 

Overall, the happiness and excitement from watching this show when everyone was younger all came back in force.

Many people have reviewed this reboot on Google, and gave it a rating of 4.1/5 overall!

As avid watchers of “Full House,” people enjoyed learning about the girls’ future lives that all started with the original. Additionally, everyone was particularly excited to see characters from the past show, such as Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey. 

Overall, this show got a rating of 4.6/5 on Google, as many loved this reboot and would recommend it to others!

Gilmore Girls:

The “Gilmore Girls” 2016 reboot is a continuation of the 2000 television series. With Lorelai and Rory coming back, we were able to see their lives continuing after the show ended. 

We can see how successful Rory becomes, and we see her reunions with her past boyfriends. We also get to see who she finally ends up with, relationship-wise. 

This light-hearted and fun show returned to the screen, and people went crazy over it!
