I wasn't expecting much from Maleficent but in the end I found it quite entertaining. It does a great job of turning a traditional story in an interesting new direction, and generally focusing on its characters more than its special effects, even if some characters are a little one dimensional (probably intentionally).

I saw this at the cinema and thought it was a good film with an interesting angle on the typical fairytale. There is a 'but' - I think the film could have push more into the darker side of the character but as it is Disney I suppose it has to stop short of full on darkness. It would appeal to a larger age range too. Still I would recommend it.
