As a picture that celebrates one of the greatest archetypes in literature while freshening countless familiar details, I doubt it can be bettered.
With no sheen of reflexivity, and no in-jokey admission of its hokiness to hide behind, can this non-ironic un-re-invention possibly work? Actually, yes it can, and does surprisingly well, by approaching the story with a sincerity and sweetness that defy cynicism, and by casting Cate Blanchett.

é lindo uma historia de princesas simples mas muito bem trabalhada e com coração.

With its vibrant sparkle and enchanting visuals, Cinderella almost makes you believe in magic.
Disney’s new live-action version is for the most part beguilingly good, even though it’s no replacement for the studio’s 1950 animated classic.
Branagh, working from a script by Chris Weitz, gives the film emotional heft. James’ performance — never saccharine, often staunchly independent — makes the story’s more regressive elements float away.
The curious thing about this new Cinderella is that every old and familiar element is done beautifully.
Cinderella is so scrubbed of personality, it’s not even worth calling a mess.
lily james é uma cinderella perfeita,todo o filme é muito bem montado, trazendo novidades mas mantendo a essencia do original.

I liked the live version way better then the animation one. Well acted and was surprisingly entertaining.

This adaptation of the classic fairy-tale doesn't really present us with anything new compared to the previous versions; this is not necessarily a bad thing, although it becomes one if the sticking to the traditional storyline isn't backed up by some new element, be it the mood, the character development, the cinematography, the soundtrack; anything, really. Unfortunately, despite the accurate choice of locations (whose beauty is nevertheless helped by CGI), the 2015 Cinderella doesn't add any, contributing nothing to the history in film of this story. In other words, the cartoon version of 65 years ago is still the better telling of the fairy-tale.
As I said, the cinematography and "embellishment" of scenery is to be applauded, especially the prince's castle I'd say, but some things Disney can't ever get right in their live-action, and those are, for instance, costumes, which in this movie look cheap. Another thing they just can't swallow is the original ending of the original fairy-tale, in all its gory madness, which they still refuse to put on film.
What's also strange to see is how critics have deliberately lowered their standards, maybe to condescende to the industry... I notice how "A Cinderella Story" from 2004, which was bad but at least an original adaptation, earned a meager 25, while this new Cinderella, while being essentially on the same level, gets a 67, providing it with a very underserved green background.

After the success of last year’s ‘Maleficent’, both commercially and artistically, another fairy tale gets the revisionist treatment although with far less success. This Cinderella lacks any sense of originality, magic or wonder and is a disappointingly prosaic affair. The finger must be pointed fairly and squarely at director Kenneth Brannagh whose direction is by turns both lack lustre and uninspired. Early scenes of Cinderella enjoying time with her father are painfully saccharine and set the tone for the rest of the movie in which composer Patrick Doyle is unfortunately complicit. His cloying score must be one of the worst of his career and never comes close to equalling the brilliant work he has done in collaboration with Brannagh before on films like ‘Much ado about Nothing’.
The cast also, in the main, offer limp or insipid characterisations. Lily James and Richard Madden, as Cinderella and the prince respectively, are desperately lacking any chemistry together and it is ultimately left to Cate Blanchett as the wicked stepmother and, in particular, Helena Bonham Carter as the fairy godmother to keep any interest alive. Eventually even their amusing moments are engulfed by the dull proceedings and the sea of treacle that drowns any initial enthusiasm an audience may have. Ultimately, It is left to the visuals to provide almost all the enjoyment, and in this area the production design excels as do Sandy Powell’s beautiful costumes. These two branches of film making are the true stars of what is otherwise a very safe and ordinary adaptation of a classic fairy tale that deserved a lot better.
