7/10
Surprisingly good
6 January 2020
It's hard to reinvent the wheel every single time. Especially after Maleficent (2014) already did that for the classic Sleeping Beauty story with good amount of success. So this movie will not have any elements that will shock you, however Disney writers manage to produce a decent story which is both entertaining and both visually pleasing to watch.

Angelina Jolie is great in that role and just watching her on the screen is a treat. Michelle Pfeiffer is, not surprisingly, doing a great job as the not-so-innocent queen. As children stories goes, it is quite predictable, but since this is a PG movie don't expect too many plot twists, it is written to cater to a certain audience and does that excellently.

Overall I recommend you give this movie a try if you're looking for a good family movie and you don't mind some phantasy scenery. Overall score: 68 / 100
