Review of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) by Jluis_001 — 30 Oct 2019

I'm not a fan of Disney's live action remakes. Some have been better than others but none have been transcendental or worth remembering. After all the animated classics remain classic and they're better.

Maleficent was a strange case, especially as they altered the plot in order to make her the main character and eventually the heroine.

I didn't find anything interesting in that film and personally I didn't like it but since it was a huge blockbuster, the sequel was inevitable.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil comes to repeat the formula on a larger scale. Typical in this type of sequels but like its predecessor it makes the mistake of taking itself too seriously and the dramatic overload is ridiculous.

Beyond how artificial everything feels, the film fails to make its plot useful or more interesting and honestly everything becomes boring quickly.

I had no expectations therefore I cannot declare it disappointing, simply forgettable and therefore this is definitely an option that I would not recommend.
