Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie, is described as a 'fantasy adventure' film, a genre which is not usually my cup of tea to be honest but I didn't mind this. Also described as a re-imagining of the film Sleeping Beauty, this time around it tells the story from the perspective of Maleficent. I don't remember the Sleeping Beauty story at all though so don't sweat that connection too much - the story stands alone just fine.
My mate who took me along to this is more into both fantasy and adventure than I and she really enjoyed it. To quote 'if you like fantasy, this one's for you!'.
If you don't get to the movies often, I'd probably save this for a DVD viewing.
Three stars from both Margaret and David on ABC TV's 'At the movies' and I reckon that's about right for me too.
