Cinderella Movie Reviews
Beautiful but deep enough?
I loved the old Cinderella movie and was quite interested in seeing how this one turned out. It's somewhat more realistic in some ways but mostly follow the old storyline anyways. There is magic too, so no worry.. The last part of the story differs a bit though and feels more "Disney" than the last one. The feeling of a great Disney movie is there - but I would have preferred a more dramatic twist in the story.I feel like this was more of a children's story than the old movie,a bit too smooth for my style. I liked that the old movie was suitable for all ages - this one was interesting enough for adults, but not quite "deep" enough to make for a interesting story in my taste.
