You can tell this film is directed by a visual effects person-the film is high on visual beauty (often to a superfluous degree) and very low on interesting or even logical storytelling.
MALEFICENT NARRATOR MOVIE
How could a writer, who wrote something so magical, and so exciting.then go to to write something so lifeless and almost boring? The dark colors and cartoon-ish CGI do not save the movie at all, everything about this film is just not worth your time or money. Angelina Jolie looks great in the role, but she is ultimately one note, I do not blame her, the blame is for the screenwriter, who just happens to be Linda Woolverton who wrote the wonderful 'Beauty and the Beast' (1991). There is no life in this film, no sense of fun and is devoid of energy. The film also plods along ever so slowly, for a film that is supposed to be 97 minutes long, it feels like an extra hour longer. This film spends too much time showing us some colorful CGI, and numerous flying creatures as if we are in a "Harry Potter" film, but neither look impressive enough to hold our attention for more than five minutes. The two seem to get along, and Maleficent seems to think that maybe she is overreacting, which in this case, yeah she is. Elle Fanning plays the princess Aurora, she is convinced that Maleficent is her fairy godmother, since she has been watching her since she was a baby. If you're thinking that's not what happened in the animated classic, you are right.already this film makes no sense. So, that's the reason why Maleficent did what she did, it's because the king is a cold-hearted person who is just unlikeable.
Ever since this, we see Maleficent grow bitter, and when Stefan gets married and gives birth to a daughter, that's when she decides to curse the child. Sharlto Copley plays the much older Stefan, and he wants the throne so badly, that he betrays Maleficent on order to do so. The king then promises whoever kills this villainous Maleficent will be the next in line to the throne.
One day, when Stefan leaves for the kingdom, Maleficent is charged with almost killing the king. We see Maleficent from a young age, and how she meets a boy named Stefan, and they grow up together falling in love. I am afraid that this film does not do the title character justice, 'Maleficent' commits the crime of being utterly boring, which is a word you wouldn't think could be used to describe a Disney film, but it is. I did, however, enjoy the evil presence of the ever so powerful Maleficent, thinking she could just be one of the best Disney villains of all time, you would think that making a movie about her would be interesting, especially with Oscar winner Angelina Jolie in the title role. I did, I must confess, I was not really a huge fan of Walt Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty' (1959), for some reason, I thought that the film was nowhere near as fun or endearing as 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' (1937) or 'Cinderella' (1950).

I’d only watch this film with the sound turned off up until the credits when Once Upon a Dream plays, which is the only enjoyable part of this film. I didn’t expect much from this movie but I never thought I’d get writing this atrocious with poorly written characters, an incoherent story, and an experience that makes me want to prick my finger on the spinning wheel and die. The film starts telling a story about two good characters and it seems like we will get the interesting motivations for Maleficent being evil or a misunderstood villain but instead the film just switches the moralities leaving me wondering if the King will get his own movie where he is shown in better light.
This is a first time director whose mainly done visuals all his life, which is reflected in his failure to tell a good story. Unfortunately, I am a little girl and while this director lengthy resume with visual effects clearly shows it also shows that he doesn’t know much else. Unfortunately, I am a little girl and while this director lengthy resume with visual Maleficent will no doubt entertain the little girls with some dazzling visuals and an amazing performance by Angelina Jolee as the classic Disney villain.
