THE BEST FEATURE OF THE MOVIE: The story is altered in a way that gives MEANING and DEPTH to all the characters; two things that were missing in the original animated movie. Yes you could say the 3 good fairies in the original had "depth", but I put that in quotes because in reality they were just playing to cliche movie tropes that get featured in films when a trio stars as the main characters. With Maleficent as the main character, and with an actual backstory, we get to truly LEARN about her. All of her hopes and dreams, an understanding as to why she's so full of hatred, and the internal struggle she has between being evil, while still having good left in her heart. THE WORST FEATURE OF THE MOVIE: The one thing the original movie has over this film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from using harsher sounding words in the dialogue, such as "die", or "hell". The points being made in this film still get across, but there's always a slightly less than subtle effort to make it suitable for all ages, despite the PG rating, which is technically not for all ages. If I were the director, I would have preserved the vocabulary of the original completely. It could have added even more to an already rich atmosphere within the film. This one gripe is the ONLY reason why I give the movie 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that, the movie is PERFECT. Watch it!!Read full review

Good re-write of the story however the ingestion of alternative lifestyles just made the movie dumpy. Should've kept the story like wholesome for kids.

If you're into this genre of movies, this ( and the sequel) is awesome. Nice take on the fairy tale and definitely different... Really good special effects and the CGI blends seamlessly throughout the movie.

Enjoyed the movie very much. I was expecting a different plot line that the one that came. Very nice. Maleficent has always been labeled as the "bad guy" but you learn to love her in this movie. Seller was great at getting me the movie and the price was okay...I'm kinda cheap.

An interesting, modern take on the animated classic of Sleeping Beauty! The plot is filled with feminist overtones. Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning are true Disney characters. You BELIEVE they are real. There is a lot of emotion, visuals, and heart warming moments.
