After a run of live-action Disney remakes that mostly play things safe, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is a much needed swing-for-the-fences dose of originality. It doesn’t always hit it out of the park, but it’s wickedly fun to watch it try. Read full review

That doesn't translate into magic, but in terms of improving on the original, giving the stars some reasonably good material to play and delivering action within its PG parameters, Mistress of Evil pretty much threads the needle. Read full review

Tragically, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil does not give Jolie and Pfeiffer nearly enough time to face off against each other. Read full review

Although the second installment is effective at moving the story forward rather than re-treading familiar ground, it enters a patch of quicksand from which it is unprepared to escape. Disney is adept at doing many things but offering a sobering and intelligent examination of genocide is not among them. Read full review

An uninspired and unnecessary sequel that won’t leave you spellbound. There’s neither enough Maleficent or genuine magic to make it worth a revisit. Read full review

The endless on-and-on-it-goes finale grasps for emotions it only earns by being so very appalling in the build up to it. One doesn’t feel redeemed or revived after enduring it. Just relief. Read full review

Peter Travers

Oct 17, 2019

This misbegotten sequel to 2014’s not-so-hot Maleficent is a torturous exercise in brightly-colored monotony that chokes on repetitive screenwriting, amateurish directing, paycheck performances and digital hardware for a heart. Kids under five (months) might be fooled, but sentient filmgoers know a scam when they see one. Read full review

Maleficent ending up sensitive with Iron is a Symbol of Weakness. Someone inside Castle was doing Experiments of Moors Creatures just going out defeating everyone down Moors which is getting me thinking of Sacrifices by Humans just discovering something like a Perfect In-Vitro FertilizationMaleficent ending up sensitive with Iron is a Symbol of Weakness. Someone inside Castle was doing Experiments of Moors Creatures just going out defeating everyone down Moors which is getting me thinking of Sacrifices by Humans just discovering something like a Perfect In-Vitro Fertilization if not Cosmetic Medicines, Genetic Engineeing, 'n what not. What if Kingdoms are wanting Moors as ones own 'coz thinking Treasures like Gold, Silver, Bronze, Diamonds, 'n what not is within but I'm like Moors' Treasures are Creatures getting by such Mysterious Spot. Maleficent dying ending up as a Phoenix 'n herself again is a Symbol of Rebirth. Union of Two Kingdoms by Aurora's Marriage with Philip is a Symbol of Peace.… Expand

The movie is nice looking as almost every Disney movie. The colours, costumes are well-favoured, camerawork is great.
But the plot is too predictable. In every moment of the movie you don't just suspect what is coming next, you simply know it.
Great movie for children nevertheless, but no more.

I liked the new reinterpretation of sleeping beauty of 2014. Something "original" that changed the classic story. This second installment does not match the previous one. Spend a lot of time rambling and avoiding to arrive at 2 hours. VERY SLOW and in essence almost nothing happens. AngelinaI liked the new reinterpretation of sleeping beauty of 2014. Something "original" that changed the classic story. This second installment does not match the previous one. Spend a lot of time rambling and avoiding to arrive at 2 hours. VERY SLOW and in essence almost nothing happens. Angelina eats the movie, Disney really knew how to choose it very well. Michelle Pfeiffer as the human villain who wants to end all rare beings and that the world is only human does well. On the other hand we see that Maleficent finds other Dark Fairies equal to her and that reminded me a lot of How to train your dragon 3, but this one is badly told compared to the other. If the movie takes 30 minutes I would give it an 7, but with my note I am being benevolent.… Expand
