The great Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr gives a wonderful performance in a true classic and epic film. I wish Yul was in our time now, we would've loved him even more. Just imagine Yul Brynner, George Clooney and Brad Pitt being friends and doing films together. That would've been historical for us today in every way.
Thank goodness for Mark Strong, he brought the strength to this film. Sacha Baron Cohen and his writing team could have done so much better with the screenplay. Sorry, I can't recommend this one for our children. At day's end 'tis ok to watch for adults.
There is a reason why Cate Blanchett is my third favourite actress, and her performance in this version of Cinderella easily reminds me why. Helena Bonham Carter and Richard Madden is also wonderful and so is the rest of the cast. The special effects is awesome.
