Review of Maleficent (2014) by Jtrauth87 . — 30 Dec 2014

I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this movie. I was more than a little worried it would pull a Snow White and the Huntsman, but this movie rested on the shoulders of Angelina Jolie, not Kristen Stewart.

I thought Angelina was great in this movie. She really felt like Maleficent but reined it in from going too far with it. And though I loved Maleficent as an evil character, the way they made her sympathetic in this movie really worked for me.

I liked the performances, the story, the look. I really enjoyed this movie.
