Storyline
A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal - an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces a battle with the invading king's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom - and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well.Maleficent User Reviews
"Well,well,well"...
First of all, the story
surprised me a bit: Maleficent's chick bones. The fact she's not a
witch, she's a fairy. The villain & hero twist. The prince's kiss
didn't work, but a mother's true love kiss bring Aurora's back from her
death sleep. After Aurora's waking up and Maleficent got her wings back,
the war still going. Why? The king went mad¡¡¡¡ The prince role was
very insignificant in this new version, but I like it anyway. Also the
king's character was small,a girl grown up away from her parents 16
years and she didn't troubled at all when her father died. Aurora smiles
all the time, she's a happy girl and never fall into sadness because a
fairy cast spell on her. But SHE SMILES A LOT, I WANTED HER TO SLEEP
FOREVER¡¡¡¡ For many people this film was disappointing, NOT FOR ME. I
enjoyed very much. The visual effects was stunning, the music,and the
credit'song "Once Upon A Dream" by Lana Del Rey sounded creepy. So much
talk about this movie. I challenged myself to watch it. I really liked.
Angelina Jolie re-defined herself as super star status. A Villain Diva
of this times imitated by many fairies.
