Quick Review: Swallowed by the murky beauty of its truly enchanting visuals and uber-imaginative special effects, and largely overpowered by Angelina Jolie's captivating, if sadly sometimes contrived performance, that basically saves the entire film, "Maleficent" is a clumsily-edited and poorly-paced Disney feature, that would hardly stand the test of time, because of its half-baked story, that promises to be darkly engaging, but ends up being surprisingly sugary and santimental instead.
So many have raved about it, but I suspect once I see it, I'll feel the way you do about the film.
ReplyDeleteAlex, to be completely honest, I was disappointed with it. Sure, it's pretty to look at, but the direction left a lot to be desired, and Maleficent herself was a bit too kind-hearted... so very Disney!
ReplyDeleteI really loved this movie. It is one of my favorites so far. Which surprised me, but there you go.
ReplyDeleteMel, I was eager to see it, but in the end, it left a bad taste in my mouth. It wasn't dark enough atmosphere wise, and the direction was all over the place.
