The live action Cinderella with Lily James. It was pretty to look at, but so damn boring. I nearly fell asleep in the theater.

I liked it because I'm a sucker for Cinderella stories, no matter what. But also because Richard Madden was so goddamn beautiful in it. Also the ballroom dance was my favorite thing.

Seconding this. Richard Madden and Lily James were both so freaking beautiful I couldn't help but be drawn in by them. Plus, the Disney version was so weak that I generally felt like the changes they made actually did improve the story...or at least didn't make it worse.

And they went all-out on her dress, which...probably shouldn't be as satisfying as it is, but whatever, I loved it.

The only bits that actually affected me were the parts with the prince and his dying father because I went with my sick mom who died a couple years later and any storyline that touched on sick and dying parents like that was gonna make me cry. But Cinderella herself? Idk. Boring and unconvincing. Ever After Drew Barrymore is so awesome by comparison I can barely remember anything about her except I rolled my eyes a lot.

Her dress was pretty but I’m still mad the actress was on a starvation diet and Disney/the press made such a big deal about how tiny her waist was, which eventually turned into Emma Watson’s Belle ballroom gown looking cheap as shit and perpetuating the whole “corsets are torture devices devised by the patriarchy” shitshow.

Corsets can be torture devices (see “I couldn’t eat solid food during the shoot”) but they are mostly just foundation garments like bras (which can also suck if they don’t fit the wearer) and Watson was definitely wearing shapewear of some kind under her costumes.

Sorry. It’s petty as hell but I really hated Watson’s Belle ballgowns.
