Nostalgic but average
I'd heard decent things about this film and was quite kean to watch it. The design for sonic was a little off and it felt like the effects were from 10 years ago rather than what we are used to seeing now. The plot was very linear and there wasn't any twists or turns. On a plus point, Jim Carrey is back to his whacky self and really saves the film.

Great take on the iconic Disney villain
This was a fun movie. A great take on the sleeping beauty with good twists.

They manage to give this iconic Disney villain many different layers and was played brilliantly by Angelina Jolie. The story was great and I enjoyed seeing the backstory of Maleficent. It gives so much weight to the sleeping beauty story we all know and you have more understanding and sympathy for the villain.

All parts of the cast were great and the CGi/special effects were great. It had to be since this movie is practically all special effects. The music was great and this is by far 1 of my favourite live action adaptations of a Disney movie so far.

Fun fact: Angelina Jolies daughter played the 3 yr old aurora because she was the only child that wasn't scared of Jolie in her full makeup for maleficent. All the other children they bought in cried. Xx

Remake/reimagining of the 1981 original, I remember the big thing about this at the time as the special effects. Or, rather, the post-production 3D effects added released, as this was, only a few short years after James Cameras na exceptional 'Avatar'. Whereas 'Avatar', however, was filmed specifically in and for 3D, this film owes more of a debt to the older 1980s 3D films: watching this in 2D it's quite obvious to see what scenes were added specifically for the effects (I'm thinking mainly of the attack of the giant scorpions, or the Kraken at the end),

Starring Sam Worthingon - whatever happened to him? - as Perseus, the plot of this obviously takes inspiration from Greek myths, even down to having Liam Neeson playing the part of Zeus himself, and of the Pegasus.

No "Empire"
Its a prequel, whaddayagonna fo. Lucas should not write screenplays and Natalie Portman is clearly in love with Natalie Portman. Boba Fett is always cool though.
