As opposed to the The Addams Family, Maleficent: Mistress of
Evil is not what I’d call an all-family movie because, despite the
amazing Disney visual effects, the story is more serious and adult-oriented.
The title might have more aptly been Maleficent: Former Mistress of
Evil, since it is Queen Ingrith (Michelle Pfeiffer), who is the real
evil in this tale, along with her crazed henchwoman Thistlewit (Juno Temple).
Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning) and Prince Philip (Harris
Dickinson) make up a fine couple to root for and seeing Angelina Jolie and
Michelle Pfeiffer together is worth the price of admission.
Despite the drawn out triple ending, the film is
worthwhile for all its dazzling beauty and excellent performances.
I give Maleficent: Mistress of Evil a 3.9
out of 5.
