BrianSez's Review

Summary - Great 4.0

I did not see this coming… I was dragged to Maleficent by my lovely wife, and I ended up thinking it was great. On the surface, the animated forest with faeries, pixies, tree-people, and weird frog like characters would normally be a major turn-off for me. Well, I guess it was at first, but the movie transformed in to some serious entertainment with a twist on Sleeping Beauty that brought in a lot more drama and even some awesome guy-pleasing fight scenes to more than offset the Disney cheesiness curse. And Angelina Jolie? Wow – she rocks the fairy-tale world with some magical meanness and more.

Acting - Really Great 4.5

Its all about Angelina! Hardly noticed anyone else.

Film - Great 4.0

Its the new age of quasi-animation. You know, real people in their fantasy surroundings. Glad the classic Disney tales are being brought up to date!

Edge - Tame 1.5

Reality - Fantasy 4.2

  Very cool Bri. Happy to see the fabulous Jolie make such a triumphant return to the silver screen.
