Should we watch the new Cinderella?
So far we’ve heard only two types of comments:
“Robb Stark’s pants!!!”
“Cate Blanchett’s clothes!!!”
And nothing about the movie itself. Do you recommend it? How is the niece from Downton Abbey, is she sufferable? Do the stepsisters…alter…their shoe sizes?
We do owe Kenneth Branagh, who’s brought us Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, and now Richard Madden (on Game of Thrones he was muddy).

Yes, I suggest you see it.
There’s some slow pacing at the start of the movie, but I think it was worth laying down some pipe so the characters have more substance and motivations for their actions at the end.
Lily James is a miracle in that she nails the “goodness” of her character without seeming like a doormat. It’s the kind of role that could have gone so wrong and obnoxious, but (Cinder)Ella makes kindness a true strength.
Richard Madden is lucky that the prince role in the movie gives him the push to want to earn Cinderella’s love, and not pick her because she looked pretty from across the ballroom. And maybe even best of all, Derek Jacobi plays his Dad, and their scenes put will make think some dust got into your eye, so that’s go-see-it bonus points right there!
And: Thank you, Kenneth Branagh for the recent favors of Hemsworth (Chris) and Hiddleston. (Even Thor’s “dad”, Chris Pine, haha.)

Importante ang Cinderella dahil sa mga wicked stepmother moments ni Cate Blanchett, sa stretchy pants ni Robb Stark, at sa 70s eye shadow and shimmer ng mga female characters.

Yes, we should watch Cinderella again and again.
I love Cinderella’s iconic blue dress and her swarovski glass shoes, and although the stepmom (played by Cate Blanchet) is really really mean, but her wardrobe are to die for!
I love the blue eyes of Richard Madden aka Robb Stark and now aka Prince Charming!!! It’s a pity because Jon Snow (kit Harrington) gets all the attention. I think after being Prince Charming, it’s time for Richard Madden to shine. Plus I also get distracted by Prince Charming’s super tight pants.
I can’t wait to see it again on DVD.
I Heart Cinderella.

It’s already been said but I’ll say it again: Robb Stark’s pants are riveting. It was very snug and you can actually gauge his, um, capabilities. The little girls(and some boys) with their moms can swoon over the dresses but those of us who have different interests can just stare at the pants.

Capabilities? Does it clean gutters or do laundry?

hahahahaha.. thechronicler of boredom — you made my day!!! Yes, I agree. I keep staring at the tight trousers of Prince Charming. :) He’s very well-endowed.

Doctor Who’s Jenna Coleman must be a lucky girl playing companion to Robb Stark’s Pants if that’s the case.
