I appreciate when writers are deliberate with their messages and up-date issues in old storylines, but I fear when it's done like this, it doesn't help. This up-dated take on Cinderella is forced and dissatsifying. Feminism isn't about switching roles (spoiler: the prince now becomes the princess' side-kick), it's about empowering women, not about disempowering men. Also, if a female character is empowered in a new way in a classic story, that shouldn't mean that the story becomes worse, an empowered woman should improve the story (otherwise what message does that send?, plus it doesn't make sense). If the king could easily decide to make his daughter queen, it should have been easy for him to arrange for the future queen (Cinderella) to be a dressmaker. The whole conflict that makes her choose her passion over the prince seems constructed and unreal. In the end, the storyline forces the prince into the position that Cinderella rejected. That's a really unhealthy relationship dynamic. That's not what feminism is about.

As A Feminist, I Have Issues With This
Lost Its Charm
Mostly stage style dance/musical. The problem is the contemporary vibe angle loses the charm of the story. Essentially the story's message is lost in the cheap commercial choreography theatrics. Even the mice were poorly presented & animated. One positive: The costuming was good.
This movie is everything I hate about modern day
People will dislike this movie for an array of reasons.
I dislike the film because I'm simply tired of bad movies like this chop,cut,and pasted to suit whatever social topics are trending today.
The icing on the cake though are the terrible songs and autotuned robotic singing from Camilla Cabello just to remind you that talent isn't required to be famous.
This movie will rightfully take it's place among other cinematic failures such as that live action DBZ film from years ago.
