Cinderella
SCORE: C+/B-.
A decent adaptation albeit wholly unnecessary for Disney because their 1950s feature is much much better.
Helena Bonham Carter is horrible as the Fairy godmother. She is one of those actors who only ever plays themselves (like Jack Nicholson and David Schwimmer). She completely takes you out of the movie. Terrible choice by the filmmakers.
It was interesting to see the prince's castle as a 17th chateau (I assumed that they would have filmed Cinderella's Castle at Disney World).
btw, I was surprised to see so many Game of Thrones actors in this movie.
