Beautiful, Bit Weird But Outstanding!!! Every true fan of the original Sleeping Beauty (1959) were skeptical about this and how much it had to deviate from the actual movie, and as more of the movie was revealed, it was only proving to be another female empowerment, victimized villain kind of a movie. But Im glad I was wrong, for Im sure only by watching the whole movie can we truly appreciate and understand the very convincing back story and development the character was subject to. The plot for this movie really fits into the current trend of exploring the anti-hero (Breaking Bad, Hannibal...) and shows that Disney is trying to break with its past depiction of characters being black and white, good or evil, etc. My only reservation is Angelinas british accent. Few American actresses like Meryl Streep and Natalie Portman are perfect for this accent. Make sure to stay for Lana Del Reys haunting new version of Once Upon a Dream. Her voice suits this film perfectly. Its as if Jolie (as Maleficent) herself is singing the song.
