★★★☆☆In the House of Mouse's third attempt at reinventing a classic fairytale as a live action adventure, director Robert Stromberg brings us a new twist on Sleeping Beauty with Maleficent (2014), starring Angelina Jolie as the titular villain turned misunderstood hero. Opening to a CGI-heavy landscape, we meet a diminutive Maleficent (Isobelle Molloy) dwelling in a tree, fixing broken branches and generally being a child of nature as she flies through the air upon her wings. A voiceover tells us that the world this horned heroine inhabits is divided into two. One is a peaceful land of magic, the Moor, where button-nosed trolls waddle through the marshes and all manner of flying creatures pepper the skies.

At its simplest, Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie, is the live-action retelling of Sleeping Beauty from the sorceress's perspective. What it wants to be, however, is something much more ambitious. Dark, brooding and with a decidedly feminist bent, the film attempts to represent all facets of womanhood, punish the patriarchy for trying to usurp female power, upend fairy-tale clichés and - very occasionally - be funny. It's no surprise the violent fantasy film (for kids!) can't quite get its muscular wings around all that. As is often the case with villains, Maleficent wasn't born bad. The young fairy (played as a...

Call her Beneficent. Rebooting the studio's 1959 animated film Sleeping Beauty into a live-action version suitable for the 21st century, Maleficent casts a strong feminist spell. "I don't think she's very happy," says one of the fairies in Walt Disney's original production of the classic fairy tale, referring to a character whose name means "harmfully malicious." And so the new film, based on a screenplay by Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Alice in Wonderland), seeks to explain exactly why she wasn't very happy. Irregardless of her given name, young Maleficent (Isobelle Molloy) is a joyful fairy, frequently flying through a magical land filled with magical creatures. It's a world that's somewhat reminiscent of Avatar, which is not surprising, because Robert Stromberg,...

All I could picture as the closing credits began for "Maleficent," the big-budget fantasy picture that Walt Disney Studios is releasing on Friday, was a whole generation of women explaining how deeply and permanently broken their view of men was by Angelina Jolie when they were just princess-crazy little girls. It is safe to say I will not be taking my kids to see "Maleficent," a film that is so swollen with psycho-sexual subtext that I felt like I was watching a true hijacking of the mainstream. But… by who? Robert Stromberg, who directed the film, is a production designer who has been involved in creating some of the richest, most detailed fantasy worlds on film over the last decade, and who worked in visual effects for 20 years before that, and he certainly brings that skill set to bear on how he establishes a sense of time and place in "Maleficent.

Having never been a fan of the romantic cliches that pervade the majority of Disney films, I wasn’t initially keen on seeing their latest offering, Maleficent. Granted, the Disney of old created some of the world’s most loved characters, but they also crafted the infamous ‘Disney Princess’. The emergence of this mythical personality not only meant a predictable storyline of ‘miserable girl seeks true love in order to live happily ever after’ in a succession of films I watched as a child, but more worryingly it cemented that line of thinking in the minds of generations of young girls. With Maleficent, Disney appears to have taken a different tact – perhaps influenced...

I can't wait for "Maleficent!" Back in 2009, we broke this story about Angelina Jolie being offered the role of Maleficent for Disney's retelling of the Sleeping Beauty villain (See original story here)! Planned director, Brad Bird, has since been replaced by Robert Stromberg, but Jolie remained as the evil witch!
Well behold the new trailer for the film! This one almost makes you fall for her, feel sorry for her, it's all about vengeance! If the movie is successful in making Maleficent a tragic character, then it will be happily ever after! Take a look at the brand new trailer (trailer 3) of "Maleficent" below:
