This is by far the best of Disney's live-action retellings of its classic cartoon hits. (Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin don't suck, but unlike those, this is much BETTER than the original. The rest are write-offs, IMHO.) Kate Blanchett nails the wicked stepmother role, with the fun advantage of watching her "stage-mother" her daughters at the ball. "Remember to smile, girls!". Helena Bonham Carter brings a fun edge to the Fairy Godmother character. Nonso Anozie makes the movie better just by grunting in the background and shooting sidelong glances at the prince. Most of the other characters are competently performed, but Lily James (late of Downton Abbey) SHINES throughout. Thankfully, the role of the mice is is mostly downplayed. (30-odd years ago, when we took small children to a re-release of the cartoon, I warned my wife that the movie was really all about the mice.) And the movie doesn't really lose anything by losing the outdated musical numbers. All told, worth owning and viewing multiple times. Vollständige Rezension lesen

spectacular!... eye popping!.... visually stunning!... breathtaking!.... all true, yet all fail to adequately describe the opulence and pageantry brought to this extraordinary live action re-telling of cinderella. colors are rich, deep, vibrant. intricately detailed costumes and jewelry, worn by both main characters and extras, are marvelous to behold. sumptuous gilded palace walls glint and gleam beneath the multitude of dazzling cut crystal chandeliers. the pumpkin is transformed into a stunning gold and crystal carriage, complete with 4 white horses, 2 lizard footmen and a goosy driver - and is, in a word, spectacular. and then, there's that dress... that magnificent bit of magical chiffon and moonbeams that floats and sweeps across the marble floor of a castle ballroom so lavish that the fabled palace of versaille must humbly blush and bow. the charming score and the editing are as sparkling and imaginative as the movie itself. for 90 minutes, at least, we can shed the day's burdens, and leave the troubled world beyond the outer door. we can surrender to this wonderful make-believe land of color, of life, and of indefatigable Hope. relinquish your grip on daily drudgery and let your spirit soar! Bibbidi - bobbidi - boo!Vollständige Rezension lesen

This movie was SO GOOD. I can't believe how well Disney retold the cartoon from my childhood. The antagonists were totally unlikable with their selfishness and cruelty. Cinderella was so likable and such a great heroine. I'd recommend this movie for anyone. It brings back lots of good childhood memories for us baby boomers and should make many more for the current generations. BUY THIS MOVIE and enjoy it.

this is an instant classic! The very best film Disney has made in years. If you like the classic Cinderella you will love this film. The photography is beautiful, the music is excellent and the acting is top notch. Lilly James is perfect as Cinderella.

Perfect for all ages, this retelling of the classic Disney tale has something for everyone. The back stories of the "evil" stepmother and the Prince are just lovely. The cast is first rate and the special effects are, well, magical!
