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. VERYI 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

I'm not a fan of Disney's live action remakes. Some have been better than others but none have been transcendental or worth remembering. After all the animated classics remain classic and they're better.

Maleficent was a strange case, especially as they altered the plot in order to make her the main character and eventually the heroine.
I didn't find anything interesting in that film and personally I didn't like it but since it was a huge blockbuster, the sequel was inevitable.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil comes to repeat the formula on a larger scale. Typical in this type of sequels but like its predecessor it makes the mistake of taking itself too seriously and the dramatic overload is ridiculous.
Beyond how artificial everything feels, the film fails to make its plot useful or more interesting and honestly everything becomes boring quickly.

I had no expectations therefore I cannot declare it disappointing, simply forgettable and therefore this is definitely an option that I would not recommend.… Expand

I’d give it a C+/B-. Plot was absolutely predictable. No character did anything surprising, and the dialogue was colorless. Visually it was very well crafted. Costumes, sets, and CGI were superb.

Visually it was very well crafted. Costumes, sets, and CGI were superb. But Angelina Jolie seems unable to show any strong emotion, and I didn’t feel any emotional loyalty to anyone except Prince Phillip, Diaval (the raven), Conall (yes, it’s the black fairy that ), and Pinto. The best I can say is it was entirely watchable. … Expand

It seems as if Disney is so remake-happy, they'll be glad to cobble together a remake of a remake of a remake.

And also have said remake³ have such a convoluted plot, copy and paste characters, and, awful, awful writing to have it fit in with the **** remakes they made this year. At least the presentation is good enough to call it the best of the remakes from this year, but that's not saying much.… Expand

This movie bugs me more and more as I continue to think about, sure It's entertaining but it plays off like a housewives show and while yes that may be eye popping and extremely gripping it is just not a good plotline. It feels rushed and tooThis movie bugs me more and more as I continue to think about, sure It's entertaining but it plays off like a housewives show and while yes that may be eye popping and extremely gripping it is just not a good plotline. It feels rushed and too Aurora centric. Angelina Jolie's Maleficent is incredibly underused. But still I'd recommend watching this, it's interesting, entertaining, and at times leaves you with your head scratching. Even if it's a hot mess from beginning to end.… Expand

The movie is nice looking as almost every Disney movie. The colours, costumes are well-favoured, camerawork is great.

The technical aspects of the movie are great. It is a spectacle for the eyes. I guess that's its main reason for existence - selling 3D movie tickets, and selling merchandise to children.

I find it somewhat disappointing, because there was the potential for a good story here. If children were the main target audience, the story could've been simpler. Instead, I felt like I watched a mish-mash of different stories and characters, all somehow exploiting a Disney's established franchise. It's confused and confusing.
So, we got Mad queen Cersei; a weak king; a weaker prince; a useless, weak princess (why?); General Black Man; Maleficent Targaryen; comedic relief Grima Wormtongue; Thor's Heimdall mixed with Gandhi; Bird man William Wallace; the Avatar creatures, but with less blue, and more wings; Sonic's useless hedgehog niece; and finally, perhaps the best character: Lesbian psychopath murderer.
Why are they all in the same movie, and why is this a Lord of the Rings war meets Game of Thrones scheming meets Dances with Wolves? I don't know. I don't think the writers know. However, it's quite pleasing to look at, and Angelina Jolie portrays the part of Maleficent really well.… Expand

However, his mother (Michelle Pfeiffer) has other plans that involve eliminating Maleficent (Angelina Jolie, who's so made up and stolid she could have been computer generated) and her kingdom. The story follows expected paths and the performances are all appropriately good or evil. What makes this film special is the dazzling visuals: enchanting creatures, stunning settings and magical effects.… Expand

There's so much in this that doesn't make sense or doesn't match what we've been previously told or is utterly ridiculously convenient. It's enjoyable to watch but the story is fully of nonsense.

Esse filme é do mesmo nivel do primeiro filme, ou seja, é fraco e não é engraçado, talvez a unica coisa boa nesse filme seja a angelina jolie

Maleficent 2 is marginally better than the original, as I appreciate the original storyline as opposed to another rehash of a Disney classic. I use the word marginally though because again it's just a CGI mess of a film.
