Beauty and the Beast try really hard to convey emotions, feelings and a touch of surreal, but something is amiss. The story band together a lot of cliché, like super soldiers, secret organization hunting people, emotionally troubled cop, female this time, people hiding in a abandoned plant, etc. It's bad, because we get no background about the DNA manipulation the main hero suffered at the hand of some unnamed doctors, a easy way to avoid a critical look at the scientific mind behind the story. The actors do a so-so work with what they have, but don't look tough enough to be a street cop or a super killing machine, just normal people training at your local pilate center. The show have a plastic look with people who supposedly work together, but have no chemistry and come for another paycheck. The lines get delivered with the right amount of smiles, facial reaction and body movement, but they are not really actors since they can't ''emotion'' themselves first to believe they are ''real'' cops, thugs, medical examiner or a super soldier. In the end, it's boring and a far cry from the original where Ron Pearlman, an actor far better than the so called stars of his generation and Linda Hamilton got spunk, vibration, life. The new BatB need life, the question is can the main cast get over their limitations and improvise, play with each other, get some pleasure from the job and some acting classes to sharpen their skills?
