Maleficent : Mistress Of Evil

POSITIVES…

  • By far, the best thing about this movie is Angelina Jolie as Maleficent. She looks amazing. She’s given the best lines out of everybody. She’s given a welcome sense of humor that works. She’s involved in all the best scenes in this whole thing.

  • Michelle Pfeiffer was pretty good in her role too.

  • Some gorgeous cinematography and set designs here.

  • There’s a scene during the first act, and one scene during the last act, that I genuinely liked.

  • I can get behind some of the themes this movie touches on.

  • The improvements made to the Angelina Jolie version of Maleficent makes me almost forgive the previous movie entry.

NEGATIVES…

  • nah, the stench from the first movie unfortunately still resonates in this installment

  • There are some sequences that were just CGI barf.

  • Those fairy aunts characters? They need to make better CGI designs for them.

  • Plot conveniences. Cheaters.

  • Poorly written characters. Can’t they make them more believable?

  • Some lazy writing all around here.

  • Without saying a spoiler… A certain somebody is just the worst Queen ever! So frustrating to watch.

  • Also without saying a spoiler… Most convoluted and unnecessary method of killing certain characters. How did that make sense?

  • No spoilers once again… That’s an embarrassingly poor attack plan. What did they think was going to happen?

  • Just one more no spoilers reaction… How stupid can they be? Applies to multiple scenes and characters.

  • Remember how I said that the best thing about this is Angelina Jolie as Maleficent? How was it possible that she actually didn’t get as much screen time as she should have, for a character that has her name in the movie title?
