Review of Maleficent (2014) by Mloy X — 29 Apr 2016
Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning): I know you're there. Don't be afraid.
Maleficent (Angelina Jolie): I'm not afraid.
Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning): Then come out.
Maleficent (Angelina Jolie): Then *you'll* be afraid.
I was so excited to see this film, and I'm never that excited to watch live-action Disney flicks because they get overly mushy and/or too preachy. I really dug this though; I like the re imagining of the classic tale and the conclusion although a little predictable was overall satisfying. The effects were cool, but not spectacular- certainly nothing new, but the cast did a pretty good job with each of their parts and it made the film enjoyable to watch and very entertaining in the end. So, kudos to the writer(s) for trying something new and the director for executing the film well enough. Good job all around.
