To me, this movie is perfection.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

What an extraordinary, exceptional film! This is simply magical and enchanting, and quite simply what fairy tales are made of. The classic tale comes wonderfully to life with a very good cast, great director at the helm, and incredible visual effects. The dress transformation scene is spectacularly done! The costumes are stunning, and the entire production design is awesome. Lily James in particular is excellent as Cinderella. There are a few lessons to be learnt here, and it is done impeccably without being melodramatic or over the top.

I didn't get a chance to watch this one in theaters, but I did rent it and enjoyed it. It's a nice spin on the original and it takes some creative liberties, but otherwise it's not too predictable and there were many scenes I did not see coming. I enjoyed the original but this was even better. It's good for those of you who don't care for animated movies and wanted a live spin on the original fairy tale. Sure, the names are almost the same but it's good for a new generation. There are some parts that were different from the original fairy tale (before the animated film) but it's still good. It's also one of the better live Disney remakes out there, along with The Jungle Book and Pete's Dragon.

This tale of Cinderella is not only entertaining but a brilliant study in jealously, insecurity, and being true to who you are. Young Cinderella is much loved by her parents and before her mother dies she is given the advice "Have courage, and be kind". Cinderella takes these to heart. After her father's sad death she is faced with fear and cruelty on a daily basis from her step-mother and stupid, spoiled daughters. How Cinderella deals with the irony of her situation in comparison to what her parents were like, is part of what makes the story line so entertaining. The movie is beautifully shot, with great care taken with costumes, colors and overall theme to each image. The actors play their roles with style (albeit Cinderella herself is a bit flat) and Kate Blanchet is restrained yet deeply malevolent in her role as the step-mother. Cool beauty with ice in her veins, a true Disney villain! How fun! The restrained approach to the personified animals in Cinderella's world is true to Disney's idea of "probable improbability". This is a movie that could be watched many times over and always be entertaining.

Disappointing. A forgettable musical score. Even the oddly cast Disney multi-cultural video is superior. As much as I like that production, I believe that "Cinderella" has to be a fair-haired blue-eyed blonde! Other actors can be anything they wish! Good performances by all in this 2015 "remake" so I can't quite figure out just what's missing here. Walt Disney used to call it "heart". As a "film" collector, I have both versions of "R&H Cinderella" (which are both videos), Disney's animated classic, and "Ever After" with Drew Barrymore. Plus, I have seen "The Slipper and the Rose" as well. (It's also excellent, but it's a bit too operatic, with ballet dancing, for kids.) Here, both her mom and dad die, mercifully, "off camera". The most redeeming quality is the great over-the-top Fairy Godmother pumpkin coach and animal transformations (and after Midnight un-transformation). Where is my "Bibbity-Bobity-Boo" song? Yes, the chattering mice, lizards and goose are too cute and very well done. There is just not as much surprise here, as the Prince remembers meeting her in the forest and therefore shouldn't have had that much trouble finding her? The new Beauty and the Beast movie (2016) is just so much more captivating and "alive". At least there is no "chunky" Fairy Godmother here. Whitney Huston could barely squeeze into her costume, so many years ago!
