Maleficent - Film PG Fantasy

Posted by Ray Schaufeld on Fri, 13 Jun 2014

Disney 2014 has flown eons beyond 'everything for the mouse.' Two kingdoms, ours and the land of fairies and strange creatures. Angelina Jolie is Maleficent. How did she become a meanie? Thwarted love, wounded pride, peace becoming humungous inter kingdom warfare. Can she act? I never noticed, I was swept up in the story  and the 3D. You must see it in 3D, distance, speed, flight, monsters, forests, flora and fauna that shrink and grow and dive straight at you; all the best magic. A happy ending of peace and love, it's the Sleeping Beauty turned outside in.

Two teensy quibbles, maybe it could have been a little faster in places. Also the biggest monster was a copycat from the Bandersnatch in Alice. Is there a central casting  for monsters?
