Just came back from the cinema. This movie is so flawed, it's not even funny.
- The beginning is so good and sets up Maleficent as a character so well... until Aurora is born. Then everything goes downhill. They never showed the villain "Maleficent" in my opinion.
- The prince was just there to tell us that "this is the story we all know", but other than that, there is no reason whatsoever to have him in this movie.
- Maleficent herself didn't turn into a dragon. diddly that. And the dragon that is in the movie is so weak that a couple of soldiers can pull it down... seriously?
- Maleficent's wings miraculously start flapping again when Maleficent is near, yet they don't do that when they're being cut off by Stefan. Why?
- Aurora isn't really doing much in this movie and is only there to turn Maleficent into a good person at the end of the story... This is the same person she was trying to get killed in the original movie. That's as stupid as making a film about Voldemort and making him care for Harry.
- The 3 fairies were so irritating in this movie and have no purpose whatsoever. In the original, they make everyone fall asleep (including Aurora) and help Prince Phillip fight Maleficent. Here? They're just here to make sure you don't forget that this is the story of "Sleeping Beauty".
- "Fairies are weak against iron".... Okay. Well, it didn't look like it bothered you that much at the end of the movie... She should've been dead lol
- The true love's kiss... Frozen?
Don't get me wrong, some parts were really good, and Angelina Jolie does a great job with what she's given... but most of this story is just plain bullshit to me. So yeah... Not excited to see what they're going to do with other Disney villains.
