Maleficent

Cast:  Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley,Sam Riley
Director: Robert Stromberg      
Genre: Animation, Fantasy,Family


Its a pleasant movie, alike for children and adults


You may look forward to:

• If not for Angelina Jolie, this movie would not fly. She is who filled in so much of content. A friend and a foe, a hero and a villain, its all her. She is the central character of the movie and a powerful one. Her beauty is just unmatched and seeing her after so long on big screens is a pleasure
• The story is very simple and how we have always known the story of 'Sleeping beauty' with some additional edges
• Elle Fanning was there only for a short duration, but how can this story be complete without the 'Sleeping beauty' herself :)
• The over all presentation by Robert Stromberg, makes it a subtle watch. Even though nothing extra ordinary, it aint any bad either
• Sam Riley was a good support and was present all through the movie

What you can sleep over:

Sharlto Copley's role was so puny. Feel sad for a character like that and feel sad for the actor who has to fill in



The dampeners you should be aware of:

Well, nothing wrong with the movie on the face of it. Going with low expectations will be however helpful





My Rating: 3/5
