That

It is much more beautiful.

Aside from semantics, the sentence above works without 'much':

It is more beautiful.

Then what about this one?

The view was that much more beautiful because the cherry trees were in full bloom.

would it work without 'much'? If not, why not?

The view was that more beautiful because the cherry trees were in full bloom.

So, write a sentence. What you asked works fine, "more" without "much". That can work fine in a phrase as well as a sentence.

That appears to me to be a sentence.

It is not natural English. We cannot say 'that more beautiful'. We can say 'that/so much more beauriful'.
