What better way is there to start summer vacation than a trip to the movies to see Disney’s Maleficent on opening day? Well, that’s just what I did, and here is my review.
The story is loosely based on the popular fairytale Sleeping Beauty, and stars Angelina Jolie (you might know of her) as Maleficent. Other actors in the film include Elle Fanning as Aurora, Brenton Thwaites as Prince Philip, Sharlto Copley as King Stefan, Sam Riley as Diaval and an appearance by Jolie’s own daughter, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, as the young Aurora.

I thought that the movie was amazing, putting a great twist on the original story and delivering the message that true love comes in many different forms. This is far different from the traditional true love stories by Disney.
I loved Angelina’s outfit in the flick. She said in an interview that she loved the horns, and that she wishes she could wear them all the time because they’re so fabulous. However, Vivienne thought quite the contrary. Jolie’s daughter was afraid of her mother in the costume, making it difficult to film the scene where they interact.There is a little something for everyone packed into this 1 hour, 37 minute gem directed by Robert Stromberg. Action, intrigue, fantasy, adventure and sharp wit all combine to make this a truly enjoyable visual experience for kids of all ages. I give it Five Stars and completely recommend that you see it soon!
