LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

alcantaraj-16594 This is the exact same story. Though that is a negative, (and made me remove a star for its rating) I still loved this movie. Why? The story is told in the best way possible

merelyaninnuendo Cinderella They had their chance to excel at creating fine details and utilize them well, just as Disney does but this one was a complete swing and a miss. Cinderella, obviously has a good concept and storyline with enough material to feed the audience for around 100 minutes which was ruined by loose writing and direction on petty and childish things and rely completely on the actor's performance for the character development which shows the lack of responsibility behind the stage. Kenneth Branagh seems distracted as always for he focuses on his younger audience and leaves out witty and complex things that he could have easily approached for. The lead cast is not capable to carry on herself a scene let along the whole movie resulting into weak performances no matter how hard the ing cast may try, it just wouldn't factor in. Cinderella lacks a better caretaker, smart writing, a good performance and acting skills to make it up to the major league.

Leofwine_draca CINDERELLA is another in a recent series of live-action versions of Disney's animated classics. The unknown Lily James plays the protagonist here, the put-upon stepsister at the mercy of her cruel stepmother who catches the eye of a handsome prince and utilises the magic of a fairy godmother in order to win his hand. The weird thing about this film is how unenjoyable it is. The main thrust of the story is skimmed over in haste while added-in sub-plots involving Stellan Skarsgaard's random bad guy character are given way too much screen time. James is a simpering and uninspiring protagonist - it takes more than adversity for a viewer to warm to a character, and the scriptwriter should know that - while Kenneth Branagh contributes zero style to his direction. Even worse is a one-dimensional stereotype turn from Cate Blanchett and the actresses playing her daughters. Richard Maddern's prince is all teeth and eyes and no personality, while the less said about Helena Bonham Carter's cameo the better. Add in some unimpressive CGI effects and surprisingly 20th century-looking costumes and you have a generally poor attempt at a classic fairy tale.

sarizonana OK I have to it this is a film with great style but not much substance and yet I loved it.The original Cinderella is one of my least favorite Disney romances for how plain it is and nothing has been fixed here in that aspect but it's almost impossible to fix Cinderella so not much complaining here. Nothing they would have done could have worked.But what it lacked on substance was compensated by great style and the getting the perfect actors for each role.for the first time the actors they picked for Cinderella and the prince look like people coming from a Disney Fairytale.Lily James is such a beautiful actress with a lot of Grace and Richard Madden is really dreamy and well Charming. Cate Blanchett was very well cast as the very classy but evil step mother and so were the actress picked for the evil step sisters. Now the spectacular visuals and the scenes which made this movie a masterpiece. Looking like real Disney Fairytale. 1 Ella Meeting her fairy godmother and preparing to get to the Bawl Elena Bonham Carter was a great pick to play the fairy godmother who was very funny at being not that expert on her magic and having a few mistakes at the beginning giving it some humor to that scene.The transformation of the mices To horses and lizards to human beings were just perfect Ohh and the transformation of the dress was jaw dropping, you see Cinderella being impressed and feel like she was in a dream having such a beautiful gown which does look like one made for a princess. The glass sleepers were the perfect touch to such a beautiful dress. The Bawl scene it was more than perfect. Cinderella arriving, kit recognizing her and their dance just perfect. The chemistry between them and the way they dance looked effortless. Just that scene scene gives the movie 8 points. Cinderella and Kit had great chemistry you see them happy and enjoying every single second they were togetherLast but not least. Cinderella Trying the glass slipper and proving she was the girl who danced with the prince to latter them getting Married and Ella having another beautiful gown which makes her look like a Disney princess. As you can see This a film completely saved by three great moments which make you feel The Disney Magic and why it gets a 10/10 even if the story is a dull and plain as they come.
