Maleficent

Postby KeithS » Thu Nov 14, 2013 6:15 pm

Check this out - the first teaser trailer for the new Maleficent trailer - I think it looks spectacular.

I love how they've used Maleficent's castle in the Disney logo!

I'm still waiting to see it - maybe next weekend unless we are doing something for my sister's 50th birthday.

Quite a few people at the club meeting put their hands up to say they'd seen it and I think most of them enjoyed it too.

We're planning to go sometime next week ... really looking forward to seeing it. Its been a bit of a tussle between How to train your dragon 2 and this movie over which to see first, but the Disney side showed through, and Maleficent it will be.

We finally got to see it last night!

I enjoyed it as a movie, but I'll leave further discussion until Lisa has seen it as I don't want to spoil it. Lisa - let us know when we can discuss!

Saw it yesterday with kids. One other Disney family in the cinema only. (you can tell , cant you 8)
I thought it was great, and I am by no means a Jolie fan. The teens thought it was ok (high priase frm a 17 yr old boy) and "pretty good" from the 15 yr old disney-obsessed daughter (animation still reigns after all)

I thought Jolie was terrific in it. My only drama was...


[HERE THERE BE SPOILERS!!!]



I'm not sure if I'd ever imagine Maleficent as redeemable - I mean, look at how evil she is in Sleeping Beauty - that dragon transformation is brilliant, but now they make out that she was driven to evil and can be redeemed. It doesn't make sense that she was originally good and turned to evil - the word itself "maleficent" means to create harm or evil, and she was named that from the beginning of the movie - which suggests she was born bad and will always be bad. I mean - if she was an innocent fairy like depicted at the beginning of the movie, then why was she called "Maleficent"? (Maybe the scriptwriters didn't realise that it is a real word?!)

I know they are trying to do a Wicked type of twist to explain how things are, but in Wicked it worked really well, whereas I didn't think they pulled it off as well in Maleficent.

Anyway - despite all that, the movie is actually really good! Glad I saw it on the big screen :D

Maybe Maleficient came to be a byword for evil during King Stefan's reign?

You nailed what my thoughts were Keith. I never expected Maleficent to be portrayed as a soft hearted character who only wanted to be loved. Although it is Disney, so it's not surprising :lol: . I'm interested to now see what they're going to do with the Descendants.

I skipped over the spoiler bits :) I think I will stay away from this thread until I've seen it, so discuss away - exams and scholarship applications have taken over my week but after I finish my weekend of work we plan to see it Tuesday "no matter what". -/

Disney have today announced they are going ahead with a sequel to Maleficent. It'll be written by Linda Woolverton who wrote the original script (and Beauty and the Beast among others).
