    A visually stunning, and well acted film with impressive action scenes. This was a great take on the classic Disney story that has endured for more than 50 years, and added with a different kind of twist. Loved Angelina Jolie. I thought her portrayal of Maleficent fitted her like a glove. She was made for this role. With a gripping backstory, we are given a bit more of a glimpse into Maleficent’s character. In fact we get to know the real Maleficent. Her transition between her good and dark side is captivating, and Jolie, I felt must’ve put a lot of time and energy into perfecting this. There’s a lot of depth and intrigue to her character, yet she is beautifully dark and mysterious too. However, in this retelling, Maleficent is not really so much evil, there’s a soft side of her, but only those she cares for are allowed to see it. Aside from that, I found the movie’s mood light-hearted and uplifting, though I’ll be honest, there’s some darkness to this picture, but it’s not overdone. Supporting cast are also great and Elle Fanning is fabulous in her role as Aurora. The 3D effects work well. As for the costumes and sets, they’re wonderful. They did an excellent job on make-up, especially Jolie’s, accentuating her cheekbones, jaw-line, brows, and eyes. Also I thought the film’s score was both stirring and powerful. Overall, an epic fairytale brought to the big screen... Maleficent is a breath of fresh air... great entertainment for all ages. Well worth seeing even if you pay a bit extra for the 3D.
