Maleficent - Mächte der Finsternis

Don't listen to the critics reviews, this is a fun and entertaining watch! It doesn't quite have the same impact as the first, but I still recommend watching/purchasing it!

It was kinda predictable, but in a nice, Disney-way... There was a sense of humor, action, fantasy and drama... I really love that Maleficent is more than just the villain,it shows that people have more layers... Also Angelina Jolie and Michelle Pfeiffer in one movie, haven't we all been waiting for that? And upcoming star Elle Fanning showed a soft nevertheless badass Aurora... It's just a shame Brenton Thwaites (prince Philip) couldn't be in it...

The characters are perfect in terms of acting and emotion. The audience can touch the feelings what the characters are sending through the dialog. The computer graphics and sound are created which incredibly make the audience impressed and happy. Throughout the movie, the didactics are seen through the relationship between Maleficent and Aurora loving as a true love. Overall, the movie is better than expected.

The writing is not good enough. The visual is amazing and so is the acting, but the script is really bad.

This film served as great entertainment with its colorful fantasy scene and numerous gorgeous fairy tale characters. The magnificent fantasy scene and impressive dialogue really held the audience's attention and also a bit comedy between the scene kept them on the edge of their seats. However, For a number of scenes, it needed hard to tell the flashback or more background that had passed since the last time a given character had been on screen e.g. Queen Ingrith abruptly appeared a barbaric villain as its needs to draw their setting much more in order to keep the audiences get into her reason for starting a war.

Despite the film's minor shortcomings, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is exciting, creative, and fancy - and well worth an hour of your time to watch.
