The Acting

The Twist
I won’t spoil the details for you but the twist in this movie rocks! Any plot that turns a villain into a victim in an honest, believable way is one that you just have to see for yourself. Plus, the twist is actually a complete deviation from the original story so it makes them seem like two different stories in a few unique ways.

Relatable
We all like a film we can relate to, even if it includes fairies and monsters. I was actually shocked how easy it was to for me to relate to some of the struggles depicted in the movie and believe that was a key to the acclaim it’s received so far.

Unpredictable
Even if you’re aware there’s a twist to the plot, there’s no way you’d ever guess what it is until someone tells you. The fact this movie was unpredictable made it well worth seeing and will no doubt make it a top movie of the year.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Thought-Provoking
As with most Disney films, Maleficent leaves you pondering about a few deep issues in your own life, which is remarkable for a made-up story. Take my word for it - this film will pull at your heartstrings and make you think, which is something only the best films out there seem to do.

It’s Fun
If a Disney movie should be anything, it should be fun! This movie is the perfect mix between a fun fairytale and an adventurous, suspenseful film. Though it brings you back to childhood, it also offers some everyday humor too.
If you haven’t already, head off to your local theatre and go see this film. It’s truly a great go-to for a family, single gal, group of friends, mom and daughter duo, and even for a Friday night movie date with your sweetheart. Have you seen the new film Maleficent? What did you think?
