Positives are this movie is fun with good performances and lots of good musical moments.

It's costume designs and visuals are top tier for a straight to Disney+ movie, seriously the CGI was surprisingly good. (Like better than a lot of recent blockbusters I've seen) Rita Ora gives such a delicious performance as Queen of Hearts, she's the easy standout and has a real classic Disney villain vibe to her. The fun evil kind with a great evil laugh. Brandy as Cinderella is also amazing, she has a warmth and calmth that make her so motherly while also being so regal and her contrast with the Queen of Heart just works so well! The first Act of the movie sets up the plot well and was my favourite.

Negatives are well the writing and character actions are certainly off, particularly after Act 1. But what lets this movie down is the ending. Without spoiling, it's certainly not satisfying and makes you go wait it's over? While the cast are all teasing a sequel it makes me feel they rushed to the end and wasted lots of the build up throughout just for a potential to return to it later rather than properly fleshing out the story and developing it's new characters with the first movie. Every character feels underdeveloped and like they did very little because, in truth, very little actually happened.

Still though I'd recommend but I hope the sequel actually feels complete and doesn't opt for setting up a 3rd movie.

This movie feels like the producers had made a bunch of music videos and attempted to thread them all together with the thinest of plots. Great movies show don't tell.

I really loved the first 3. All the songs made sense to the plot and most of the story provided fairly believable character arcs. The actors are doing their best here with a subpar script. It was great to see Uma with her crew. That remix on her song was really fun. She barely has anything to do here. Cinderella and Pronce Charming we also wonderful to see together, even though it was extra lovey lovey. I also enjoyed their teenage counterparts.

Honestly, I could see a version of this story working with these same actors. They just needed a better script!

I just finished watching this film. My first thought of this film was trying not to compare them to the best original three movies. I like that they talk about Carlos (Cameron) and how hard that would of been for China to do as she was so close with Cameron Boyce.

The story was okay. It was quite good at the start but went a bit down hill and rushed in places and there was no flow to follow the story.

The only good song was Red at the start of the movie.

The acting was okay.

I probably won't watch it again and just stick with the original three movies as there soundtrack was amazing in each one.
