Review of Cinderella (2015) by Jessicajanice29 — 29 Mar 2015

I cannot commend this movie enough. It was a magical delight that even brought a tear to my eye more than once. As a disney lover I was both excited and sceptical on the making of this movie and I had extremely high expectations that it met utterly! Lily James and Richard Madden are perfect as Cinderella and Prince Kit, their chemistry was unquestionable and they remained true to the characters we have all known and loved for many years! It had all the key moments and elements from the 1950's animated classic and was revamped with some new additions to the story line (Not to drastic or off the original plot), just enough to make it exciting and unpredictable. I loved the addition of Prince Kits background and life and what he though of Cinderella as their romance progressed. Their first meeting was one of my favourite scenes, also the Ball. The costumes and sets were just spectacular, I want that blue ball gown! Helena Bonham Carter as the fairy godmother was also another perfect match made in movie heaven, what a talented and refreshing actress. She blossomed, as did Cate Blanchett as the Step Mother, so much emotion. I loved the silliness of the stepsisters, I think it showed that apart from cruel, they were immature which kept them from being overly aware to their cruelty towards cinderella.

I can't explain enough, I feel like the right words are not coming to me. I am proud of this movie, I feel like it has been done justice and I feel there is no room for negativity or criticism in such perfection. If you are a real Disney fan, this will be one of your top movies for many years to come I am sure. I cannot wait till its released on DVD so I can watch it over and over.

Im 23 years old and I absolutely adore disney movies and I have been so fond of the live action remakes. Into the woods I will say I found a little disappointing, and so led me to be a little worried about how this version of Cinderella was going to be played out, and Im so incredibly happy with how they did so. I cannot wait till I have children and they can grow up watching this movie, becoming the classic to them as the 1950's one is to me.

Beautiful.

Mesmerising.

Magical.

Enchanting.

Emotional.

Breathtaking.

Heartwarming.
