2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   I did not see this coming… I was dragged to Maleficent by my lovely wife, and I ended up thinking it was great. On the surface, the animated forest with faeries, pixies, tree-people, and weird frog like characters would normally be a major turn-off for me. Well, I guess it was at first, but the movie transformed in to some serious entertainment with a twist on Sleeping Beauty that brought in a lot more drama and even some awesome guy-pleasing fight scenes to more than offset the Disney cheesiness curse. And Angelina Jolie? Wow – she rocks the fairy-tale world with some magical meanness and more.
