Maleficent


I just saw Disney's Maleficent with my brother in law and two of his daughters. At first I didn't know what to expect from Disney's new interpretation of Sleeping Beauty.


The movie starts off with Maleficent as a young girl. We are suppose to like her from the very beginning as it shows Maleficent being friendly with everyone, even the evil looking ones. 

The movie then follows the classic Sleeping Beauty plot, up to a point. Then the plot changed direction and literally mess up our memory of the old Sleeping Beauty animation.

I won't spoil the movie for you, of course, but I think I like this version of Sleeping Beauty, and I feel Angelina Jolie was perfect for the part of Maleficent. 

Although the movie started slowly at first, it managed to pick up its pace and delivered a satisfying ending. Go watch it if you haven't already.
