Hallo Amigos! Here we have the long awaited film. "it's the evil witch from the sleeping beauty" was my first initial thought. What enticed me to catch the film was that Angelina Jolie is playing the leading role of Maleficent. After watching this film, you will realized that sleeping beauty wasn't like what he seemed. 

Disney is trying to emphasis more on other kinds of love instead of the cliche prince charming and princess story but connect with viewers in a more realistic and personal view. Take for instance frozen, instead of true love kiss it was sisterly love that broke the "curse". Well, same goes for this film, "motherly love" this time. 

This film is an origin story, though it devotes the majority of its run time to retell the story of sleeping beauty but in the point of view of Maleficent. Maleficent was once a young, horned and winged orphan fairy living in  the peaceful kingdom. One fine day, she meets a young boy named Stefan. She befriends him and eventually falls in love. You may have thought, "wow it's mutual". That's what I thought. That sneaky bastard betrayed her and took away her most prized possession; her wings just to become king. Hurt, betrayed and furious, she decided to seek revenge on him through Aurora. Hence, the curse on the 16th birthday blah blah. 

Throughout the story, Maleficent gets emotionally attached to the little blond child. And before you know it, she has been spending most of her time with Aurora. Maleficent gives of a very protective and motherly presence in this film. Aurora managed to steal a part of a heart that's left. Maleficent even tried to revoke the curse but it could not be reversed. 

Aurora eventually found out about the curse and fled to the kingdom where her father is. She got pricked on the finger by the spinning wheel and fell into a deep sleep. I am sure most of you know this part of the story. 

True love's kiss failed. And Maleficent love for aurora woke her up. BLAH BLAH BLAH!

I love how action filled this movie is, also the animations of the different fairies. However, I do feel that the film should have been made longer. The ending was without a doubt, a happy one. =) Although some reviews aren't all that good, it just depends on how well you understand the story. I do think that certain actors weren't really meant for the part; Prince phillip and king stefan. They should have chosen different actors to set the mood. OH WELL!

Overall, I'll rate this film = 3.5/5
