Wonderful character development!

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I feel like her revenge should have been taken out on the guilty party in the first place, but overall this movie was great! I LOVE Angelina Jolie. Kudos to the creators! As for a few anti-feminist comments, Angelina makes more than you... has done more good than you ... you are effectively ignored.

I've watched this movie twice because, the story, the environment, the costumes, the CGI and the highly convincing acting is simply great. Angelina's performance is incredible; she has to express a complete set of emotions all condensed in the same movie. I particularly like how the story develops and how things turn bitter when you least expect it. I put this movie in the same category of those great fantasy movies such as Willow, The Dark Crystal and Legend. A masterpiece!

It's unfortunate that Disney has mutated into an advocate for a particular brand of modern feminism. In the name of that advocacy, they decide that they have no use for conventional morality. "Maleficent isn't really evil, she's actually a shining example of feminine empowerment, and she only did bad things because of the evil actions of MEN". Revolting.

I have been ignoring this for some time, but finally decided to sit thru it and was more than pleasantly surprised. While I find Elle Fanning even more annoying than her sister, and I needed my super secret decoder ring to decipher any of Sharlto Copely's lines, Angelina Jolie put on a fabulous performance that overcame both of those speed bumps and made it more than worth the time.
