Bad casting

Lily James is nothing short of gorgeous. Beauty is subjective and everyone is entitled to their opinion and I can understand how one can make the argument that she's not "stunning enough" for Cinderella (though I disagree). However, how on Earth can one claim she is "to(sic) average looking". That is just nonsense.

Not nonsense. She's quite average, and it's only more apparent when she dresses for the ball and ought to be traffic-stopping, but she isn't, nowhere near.
The "ugly stepsisters" are cuter.

Beauty is subjective to the eye of the beholder.

It is, which is why it's not "nonsense."

I disagre2000e if you are arguing that she is of "average beauty" compared to most women in the world. Compared to other Hollywood actresses? That can be argued. Not beautiful enough for Cinderella?. That can be argued. However, "average looking" compared to most women? Like I saidI disagree. Regardless, it's all subjective.

I think Lily James is an excellent choice for the role.

I agree with YOU, She is absolutely gorgeous and she plays 'adorable' well.

Thank you. However, according to some people we are both "idiots" because we feel that she is beautiful and beauty is a mathematical formula that can be proven.
I always find comical the need for one to present their subjective opinion as fact or the need to insult others for their personal preferences (what movies they like, who they find attractive, etc.) It's clearly insecurity.

i don't think she is beautiful but she is incredibly pretty.
To you, Baldrick, the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people, wasn't it?

^Proof that opinions of beauty are arbitrary.

Despite her huge fame, I personally have only seen her in photos and on a talk show, and based on those alone I think she would make an ADORABLE Cinderella.

Taylor Swift?
Let me get this straight. You want a person with almost no acting history and you also think SHE is prettier than Lily James?
And I don't think Elle Fanning is as pretty as Lily James either, heck of a young actress though.

"Elle Fanning"
Ah, ok, you're a pedophile.

Elle Fanning? Thanks god you're not responsible for casting. She looks like a shot deer with wet eyes. Not even close to a beauty.

I first saw her in Downton Abbey where her character was a naughty girl. Somehow that affected me and I don't like her as Cinderella very much (only saw the trailer)

jimmer69 — 11 years ago(March 16, 2015 08:58 AM)

Her CHARACTER was an immature girl on Downton when she was first on it. Her Downton Abbey character has grown up and is nothing but sweet and adorable now.

"naughty"? How stupid can one get?

I agree 100%. When I first saw the teaser for the new Cinderella movie I was elated. Now, after seeing the trailers, I'm just not as excited and I really think it's because of the casting for Cinderella herself. I've never considered myself a vain person, and Lily James is absolutely a gorgeous woman. I just imagined her differently, is all. Kind of like when a movie is finally made of a great book, and the lead just isn't how you pictured them in your head.
