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

Lily James is becoming one of my favorite actresses. She can play it all, and i've seen her in everything she's been in to this point, she's a phenomenal actress. Branagh really out did himself with this film. What a magnificent direction of film with absolutely perfect timing at every moment of the way to bring a smile to your face or bring a scowl to your face with Cate Blanchett's brilliant performance. A wonderful gem that stays true to the original animation version.
Do yourself a favor and watch this treat, you you won't be disappointed.

It has many similarities to the original DISNEY version, with some variable changes that I felt enhanced the film. I am not surprised at the poor reviews, as these days there are too many platforms for opinions to please everybody. I LOVED this movie and found myself buying it a week after watching it on cable. I loved the CGI, the cast, and felt it enhanced the magic of the 1950s Disney film version. I enjoyed Ever After (Cinderella film), but it did not feel as magical as this version. Cinderella was a favorite movie of mine, but not my favorite. This is my favorite live adaptation of a cartoon (and yes, I quite enjoyed Malificent - Sleeping Beauty remake). I loved it and it's possible you will too. If you are hoping for a new plot twist, or it being based on ideals that resemble (or should) reality, then maybe this isn't for you. If you are picky about things, like Cinderella having a small waist or other superficial things, maybe you should stick to a different type film. Nobody I knew who has seen it was bored once during this film, but I can see why it could be for people with different interests or ideals. If you really can't spare a couple hours to check out the film for yourself, but you have an hour or two to spend reading reviews, then perhaps you really aren't interested in seeing it after all. Nobody can tell you whether it it is good, but you....or maybe someone exactly like you. Hope you enjoy the film too if you do watch it! I loved it!
