Cinderella

Watching the 2015 live-action Cinderella was like stepping into a dream—a beautiful, enchanting dream that brought me straight back to childhood, twirling around in an imaginary ball gown and believing in magic. ✨This movie didn’t just retell the classic story; it breathed new life into it, making it even more heartfelt and dazzling than I ever imagined. Lily James as Cinderella? Absolutely perfect. She embodied kindness, grace, and resilience so effortlessly that I couldn’t help but root for her with all my heart. And her singing voice? Pure magic. “Lavender’s Blue” was so soft and sweet that I instantly felt like a little kid again, humming along and pretending I, too, was a princess.Every detail in this film was breathtaking—the stunning costumes, the whimsical set design, the gentle yet powerful storytelling. And let’s not forget Cate Blanchett as the Stepmother—deliciously wicked, yet complex in a way that made her so compelling to watch.Above all, this movie reminded me why I fell in love with Cinderella’s story in the first place. It’s not just about the ballgown or the prince (though, let’s be honest, Richard Madden as Prince Charming was chef’s kiss 💙). It’s about kindness, courage, and believing in a little bit of magic.No matter how old I get, Cinderella (2015) will always make me feel like that little child who once dreamed of wearing glass slippers. And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way. 5/5 stars—pure enchantment! 👑✨

Subtitles and audio in Eng, Fra, Spa. The most grandeur in the costumes, and settings I’ve ever seen. Love the acting; drama, romance, and they’re funny too. Special effects are most amusing. The entire movie is wonderful. And this “Cinderella” gown is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen! But it’s for the men’s costumes, I decided to file this DVD in my “Men In Tights” collection!

The first time I saw the Trailer for this movie, I was instantly excited as a huge Disney Movie lover, and apprehensive. I remember thinking that the casting looked awesome, but the story seemed like it would be bland compared to the singalong animated classic I grew up with. Even as the movie starts out you are missing the singalong elements, but somehow you fall further in love until you're simply brimming with a quiet joyful contentment by the end (the kind that comes with a truly happy and well deserved "happy ending").It's just enchanting, and I was delighted and surprised with how well paced the movie was and how it kept me interested all throughout, despite not having any real melodrama or big theatricality. Somehow, as if by...dare I say...magic, the movie manages to be enchanting and draws you in just in its simple story telling (OK and set design and wardrobe, casting and acting).Acting roles that should be cliche are fresh and new because they are 3 dimensional. Lily James manages to be perfect and somehow you can't be frustrated at her for just taking the abuse, seeing as how you can see hints of the subtle insidiousness of Lady Tremaine and her daughters. She is both tender and outwardly timid but she has a clear and definite inner strength and sense of self that carries her through it all and its portrayed fairly and believably. Cate Blanchette is perfect as Lady Tremaine, being both severe, cold, and beautiful and pitiable. She doesn't redeem herself but she has much more depth than just being "the villain". Jeff Adler was freakin perfect as Prince Charming or Kit, and I can't write this review without saying that even being a huge Game of Thrones fan I was astonished when I thought "Damn he looks familiar!" and IMDBd it to find out he's Robb freakin Stark. I think I didn't recognize him because he's always smiling and is clean shaven in Cinderella. He looks like two totally different people, and I guess at least partly a testament to his acting skills (and also he looks sooo much like a young Ewen McGregor). Ok now that I am done being a fangirl, he really did do a great job being both charming and truly lovable because while he is noble and brave, he's not prideful. The romantic exchanges between Kit and Cinderella are so sweet and bely a truly deep burgeoning love at first sight, it really is a fairy tale come to life, and because its production is not over the top it's that much harder to have it end and give way to real reality.This will definitely be one of the ones I replay a lot, well worth buying the HD version on Amazon.

Love this movie. Great cast and performance, sets and costumes and visual effects

Great remake of a classic movie!

After seeing what Disney did with the Sleeping Beauty story in Maleficent, I had expected a brand new story with this one. Best way to describe this is to combine 2 other movies: Disney's Cinderella (animated version) and Ever After. This movie does not deviate from the animated version at all. Mom dies, dad remarries, 2 awful step sisters...etc. Cinderella does bump into the prince long before the announcement of the ball (a part reminding me of the movie Ever After). One thing that took me by surprise was when the prince became king BEFORE searching the kingdom with his glass slipper. So wen the grand duke arrives at the cottage - home of Cinderella and her family - it is a king who is searching for the mysterious woman, not a prince. Interesting twist in the story. All in all, a good movie to watch...just don't expect any deviations as there were in Maleficent.

I love this movie!!!!!

Lily James is perfection as Cinderella in this adaptation, one of the finest of all Disney live-action remakes of their animated classics. She has the astonishing beauty, the guileless countenance, and apparently no waist, as her sculpted figure sails through this magical tale of love. Helena Bonham Carter is likewise magnificent as the Fairy Godmother, both wonderfully kind and strangely goofy. Cate Blanchett gives a hiss-worthy performance as the evil step-mother. The art direction is beautiful, Ella's transformation is delightful - the whole thing is juts a sheer joy.
