User Reviews
I don't usually write reviews but I had to for this one!!!
As a child, Cinderella wasn't my go-to Disney classic. It never fully captured my heart. Now, when I heard they were making another Cinderella movie, I was like oh gosh; but who knew I would be wronged. I knew about the Frozen Fever short and thought it will probably be what I'm most excited for then Cinderella! Frozen Fever was boring and Cinderella was amazing! I was blown away by it! You think that because you knew the story already and it being predictable to what will happen later on will bore you out but I was looking forward to what will happen next. It made you forget about what you already knew. The little differences that Kenneth Branagh added to the storyline, yet kept true to the Disney animated film was fantastic! There's been so many twist and darker plots to Disney films nowadays that to see something traditional like this being made really makes me happy. I was wowed by the cinematography. The production designs and costumes just blew me away. Everything was so detailed and perfect. The fact the majority of the sets were built and then you see the parts where you knew CGI was needed, was also well done. I only knew Helena Bonham Carter, Hayley Atwell, and Cate Blanchett going in (they were magnificent). I didn't know Lily James or Richard Madden, but their chemistry was off the charts! If the two people that was suppose to be in love did not have that going, I think I would of really not enjoyed it as much; but thankfully they were oozing with chemistry. They were perfect for the role. My complaint is they did not have enough screen time! I got lost in Prince Kit's eyes too many times. And the music was beautifully written! I had a ear orgasm if possible. I left the theater happy, smiling and feeling like I've been magically transformed back to when I was a child.
"Have courage and be kind" -- what a great message for young kids nowadays and even for adults. All my life, its always been hard to have courage and be kind but its something I strive in being day by day. I hope kids will take this message to heart.
I believe this movie is one of the best Disney live-action remake and retelling of a classic story that we all knew as a kid, but maybe a little better. I still like the classic but I can tell you, you will see me watching this one over and over. What a great family movie, not just for kids but for adults too. My inner kid came out and I'm almost 26 now. Don't think too much and just enjoy the movie. Just be a kid again.
