Beast 1991 VS Beast 2017

In your honest opinion who played the Beast better

Robbie Benson or Dan Stevens.

With temperament it has to go with Benson. But I did love Dan Stevens' take on the Beast as well.

Both played him very differently. Benson's Beast is like a socially awkward kid trying to navigate his first relationship while Stevens is more worldly and cynical. However, the CGI used for Stevens' beast was horrible.

I liked Dan being the older more worldly Beast. He was a great foil or companion to Emma's Belle. That being said I don't like the horns he wore. It make me think of a caricature of the devil.

I'm not a huge fan of the animated version but Robbie Benson by a landslide.

Robbie Benson's Beast is unforgettable. I don't even remember Dan Stevens's Beast.

Without a doubt the original.

I think both are good even though the original is classic. However, the cgi lips on the beast were way too human and monkey looking. Very distracting!

Original definately

Yeah, Robbie Benson got a better roar that Stevens just can't do. I also agree the CGI on this beast and the other characters was not very good.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/AD4MjlFtI4k
