I must admit this trailer, despite its obvious visual appeal, seemed to gain a bit of a sigh from me. This is by way no real negative, it is just after the stellar success of this years Maleficent I was imagining something more original rather that the well known classic we are presented with here.
Me and my girlfriend went to watch Maleficent this year and we thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially for its new interpretation on a classic that we both (well one of us) knew so well. However, this trailer provides no hook here that would entice me, a person who is not a Disney princess fanatic, to come watch this film.
Despite this though it does like this is going to be a solid adaptation of the classic take, with the cast all looking as though they are pulling their weight in terms of performances. Lilly James seems to be embodying the role of Cinderella well and she certainly fits the mould of what is stereotypically expected, so all is fine there. As well as this Kate Blanchett fits in nicely as the evil step-mother, and her role seems more menacing and integral. And check out Rob Stark (Richard Madden) looking all cleaned up. Perhaps, the best casting seen throughout this trailer is Helena Bonham Carter as The Fairy Godmother, the quirky nature she can bring to this picture will certainly be one of its biggest assets.
Overall, this was just a safe trailer for what is looking a fairly safe movie. Sadly there is nothing new here... And with the success of Maleficent I was hoping that we would be witnessing something more new to be honest.
