Excellent, smart action film.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

After a young, kind and beautiful girl remains without both her parents, she is left in the care of her merciless and greedy stepmother who transforms her into a servant. Although forced to live a harsh life, Cinderella always remained kind and courageous, in hope of a magical act which might turn her life around. This said, a charming apprentice she meets by accident in the woods might just be what she deserves. This real action remake of the original Disney animation is a wonderful demonstration that it can be done if you keep the story, present it seriously, hire a couple of good actors who know what is to be done and get a bit of help from a very talented animation team. Add to this mix a good soundtrack and you end up with a very good movie by itself. Yes it is a very good remake and yes, it is a very good movie without having to mention the Disney animation with the same title. Do I recommend it? Without any doubt!

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.
