Maleficent (2014)
Directed by Robert
Stromberg this film stars Angelina Jolie, Sharlto Copley, Elle
Fanning and Sam Riley. The story of sleeping beauty is told from the
point of view of the antagonist.
There is a lot of
interesting stuff in this film but unfortunately it never really
follows through, there is no explanation as to why if all ends well
that we treat Maleficent as evil in the story. Apparently a lot of
the first act was cut and I think that really hampers the film as it
seems more interest in story events rather than delving into the
characters and explaining their actions, Stefan in particular. I
enjoyed Angelina Jolie who does her best but the script and other
casting massively let her down in my opinion.
2/5
