Maleficent - I am so glad we borrowed it from the library rather than spend a dime on it because it sucked!! First off, the movie should have been about Maleficent and only Maleficent. There should have been no Aurora in it. The movie should have ended where the Sleeping Beauty story begins. Secondly, that leads into my next complaint, the movement of time. The pacing was down right terrible. Time moved so quickly that you could never even enjoy a moment of it because it was gone in an instant. Stephan's betrayal just came out of the blue with no rhyme or reason for it. We should have had a good hour spent before he cut off her wings, not 10 minutes. The CGI was awful, especially on the pixies. Good god their heads were huge. Another negative was its acting. Except for Jolie, the acting was atrocious, especially Stephan's, whose acting was down right laughable because of how bad it was. That scene when he is stabs the sword into the table was hilarious. It is unfortunate at how bad this movie was because there were some really great moments throughout the movie where it really shined, especially when Maleficent turned the Moar into darkness. That was awesome. Like I said, the movie should have been about her decent into madness rather than spend 5 minutes turning her evil and the remaining 70 redeeming her. Another positive was its music and that was well done. Overall, I have no choice but to give this turd a 4/10 stars. Let's hope Disney does Cinderella better and actually give the movie time to develop something.
