Maleficent (2014): Magnificent!


I’m a huge Disney fan! I admit it. So, I was very excited to see Maleficent. And having Angelina Jolie for the lead role makes me more excited. She is one of the actresses that I love watching in movies. The combination of these two favorites of mine gives me the idea that it will be a great movie. And after seeing it, I’m happy that my instinct is right. It is a great movie and it is magnificent!


First of all, the story is simply amazing. The movie gives us a new perspective in the renowned Sleeping Beauty story that we’ve grown up with. It proves that we should not really judge a book by its cover since we are not aware of what is behind it until we read every page. We all know that Maleficent is the villain, but in this movie, we get to know her better. I honestly love her character and I find it very amusing.


Angelina Jolie’s portrayal of Maleficent is also believable. I will give her a Best Actress award if I’m part of the Oscars. Her moves were flawless and her delivery of every word is fierce and stunning. I love how she was able to convince me that she is not the same woman who portrays Lara Croft and Mrs. Smith. And that is something that I find missing in other Actors. Overall, her performance is superb.


There are some flaws in the special effects in the movie. But it was something that didn’t bother me. For me it was neither bad nor great. It is OK I guess. I still love the movie even though there are some rough effects. That is the only thing that I do not love much about the movie.


For me, Maleficent is one of the most successful movies that give us a fresher look of famous fairy tales. I’ve seen some like Hansel and Gretel, Snow White and the other one that I even can’t remember. For me, it was far the best I’ve seen so far. My final word, it is undoubtedly magnificent!
