Villain back story
Gave maleficent redeeming qualities.
I don’t really care for Angelina Jolie but I really liked her in this. I think she played the character well. I loved that this version gave Maleficent some redeeming qualities, and more back story, because she seems like one of the most petty villains in Disney. I mean, she cursed a baby because she didn’t get invited to a party thrown by the monarchy. That’s what it boiled down to in the animated version. This actually shows why she became a villain and cursed aurora, which was way more complicated than just an invite.

Early noughties film based in the 90s series of video games of the same name (snore the so-called 'Survivor' trilogy), with Angelina Jolie embodying Lara Croft far more, IMO, than Alicia Vikander would ever do.
The plot?
Completely nonsensical (something to do with The Illuminati and the control of time) but you don't watch these types of movies for the plot but to be entertained instead...

Great performance form Angelina Jolie in a not so great film.
Following her committal to a mental institute, we follow the experiences of Susanna (Winona Ryder) in the late 1960s. Based on the book by the same name, which I've heard a lot of good things about, I failed to really be engaged by Susanna's story. I never felt for her struggle or journey, in fact, I was bored by it. I'm normally a huge Ryder fan but this just didn't work for me.
Without the strong showing by Angelina Jolie as the full-on wackjob with a personality, I might not of made it to the end.
A fairly uninspiring film for a story that should of been emotionally engaging.

Finally got to see this movie this week due to when I was originally meant to see it there was a power cut on to the movie is it any good it's okay angelina Jolie is always good in any movie she does but her character needed to be more active besides protecting the boy the from the hitmen searching for him there are some good action scenes which the movie for me but not enough for me to give it a higher rating

The stunts
Revenge
Amusing and action packed.
Contains spoilers, click to show
Love this film for the stunts, the action and dare I say it even the storyline.
Its probably definitely more of a guy film if there is such a thing, but Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie sold the movie.
James mcavoy did a good job acting the role however his near constant girly screaming through a good portion of the first half really irritated me. I felt that was overdone somewhat.
I did love the revenge scene on his cheating girlfriend and best mate however.

Twist turny spy action thriller, with an initially blonde Angelina Jolie taking on the role of Evelyn Salt, a CIA operative who has to go on the run for plot reasons.
And, once she does, the film hardly pauses for breath, hurtling from one set piece to another to another...
Angelina Jolie (in full own action girl mode) capably holds her own in this, with a supporting cast that included the likes of Liev Schrieber and Chiwetel Ejiofor (and a pre Brooklyn-99 Andre Braugher popping up in a small role), in a film that doesn't outstay its welcome and was seemingly made for more (as yet unmade) sequels!
