Synopsis: From Disney comes “Maleficent”—the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959 classic “Sleeping Beauty.” A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well. [Source: Cathay Cineplexes]
The original Sleeping Beauty story re-told, which cast the witch, which is now termed "fairy Godmother" in a rather good light. Interesting storyline talking about the betrayal of human for their own greed and ultimately turning the witch into who she is. Overall, Angelina Jolie put up a rather good show casting as the which, especially her high cheek bone which further protrude the evil and menacing feature of her character. A good show to catch for the weekend.
Rate: 8/10
