When Disney announced that they were adapting Sleeping Beauty and putting on a twist - that it was going to be from Maleficent's side, I was very excited. Maleficent is such a great character: charismatically evil who never lets emotions get the better of her. When they released photos of Angelina Jolie in costume, I thought, she looked amazing. The trailer further on pique my interest, shooting this movie to a must-see when it gets released. Alas, I was not impressed. Once the novelty wore off, the film turned itself to a lackluster event, and while it had a good message, I felt that it could have gone in a different direction without tainting its original intent.
