One of my favourite movies. I never liked Sleeping Beauty, but I absolutely love Maleficent. The character of Maleficent is amazingly acted by Angelina Jolie, with the mixture of hero and villain portrayed amazingly well. Elle Fanning is fantastic as Aurora too. A stunning film which will leave you in absolute awe. :)

Best Disney film I have ever watched - I'm nearly 50 and it captivated me from beginning to end!!! WOW!!!

One I believe to be Disney's greatest films along with others.🎬 I highly recommend this movie! ✅

I loved the way in this movie it turns and shows a deeper plot to it all😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍✋👍✋👍👍👍👍👍👍

I wasn't sure about this when I brought it, but I'm glad I did.

It's an amazing movie and very touching in places. Worth watching

I think this was a really well thought out twist from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Excellent acting too.

A very enjoyable film... Of late I've not seen a good film... This is a great watch for all ages... A great adaptation on the original story... A good film to buy or rent... Bravo!

This is a good film, you see the Sleeping Beauty story from Maleficent's point of view.

She gets her wings back in the end love this movie

Seriously cannot believe some of the reviews of this movie.. It's amazing!! The new take on the story is in my opinion better than the original, with amazing graphics and an outstanding performance by Jolie.. Incredible!! Just watch it :D

I was so bored with The run of the mill bring rubbish over Xmas then this film sprang into life with wonderful graphics and a twist in the tale. Excellent film in every way, Disney has done it again though even bigger and better than ever before

Brilliant

I thought it would be be darker, but it's an interesting reboot of the original Disney version of the fairytale.

I have never been an angelina Jolie fan, but she was absolutely amazing - best film I have seen in ages - have watched it 3 times……..disney have made an amazing re-make of this film…….unbelievable…watch it !!!!!!

I adore this movie but Why is this movie for rent ? I believe I looked for the film a week or so ago and you could purchase the movie for £9.99 SD and £13.99HD - So why have itunes changed this movie from being one you can purchase to one you have to rent ?

A fantastic family film, great from start to finish, cast superb, Jolie is exceptional !!!! A definite must see!!

Such a good film

i am 68 year old male and i thought the film was fantastic, (think it might be for adults), but younger people would probably enjoy it as well.

If I'm honest, it really surprised me - I wasn't expecting much but it was amazing! Great buy!

Wow! Loved this new version of sleeping beauty. I was doubtful before watching it and truly fell in love with it and the story. They still even managed to put a nice twist at the end. Just a wonderful movie and must for Christmas!! 😍😍

This was a movie that had so much potential: a premise with promise, one might say. But it's ruined by poor direction and a use of CGI for CGI's sake that overall buries the story and leaves you cold. By halfway through, you realise you care not for a single one of the one-dimensional characters.

The art direction is also confused: badly so. The movie can't decide if it wants to play it dark and moody or a kind of candy-flossed Shrek on steroids.

It's a shame, because the movie could have been so much more. But like Maleficent herself, the story's wings were clipped, probably at the story boarding stage. Watch the classic animated Snow White instead: it's a better use of 90 minutes of your life.

Such a good film. Visually packs a punch. Angelina is perfectly casted as the 'fairy done wrong'. Ella Fanning is cute as the princess but this is Angelina's film. She commands your attention with every scene she is in. Maleficent is a complicated character, but the way Angelina's portray's her you continue to root for the alternative heroine.

It is difficult to strike a balance between fairy tale for the under-12 audience, and a fantasy thriller for the adult viewer. So hard, in fact, that I think it’s not possible. How do you expect adults to go with a visual world that often resembles daytime kids’ channel? And equally, how would you expect parents to allow their youngsters to look at something so dark, so fearsome?

Maleficent tries to do it anyway… not quite succeeding, but not quite failing either. So, it’s Lord of the Rings without most of the fear factor, none of the gore, none of the death and none of the dreary hopelessness.

Jolie works really well for the movie, I’m not sure who else could have pulled off this profile - she really carries it off well.

The plot is an interesting take on the original story, and I think I prefer to believe this to be the ‘true’ Sleeping Beauty, if there is one. Without spoiling the story, it is morally satisfying to observe the character build that the Evil Fairy experiences.

Although I’m really not sure who this movie is for, and I suspect it’s trying to capture too many audiences with one fell swoop, excuse the pun, it did manage to capture enough of me to be enjoyable.

A safe and innocuous bet for adults, but I’m not sure how queasy your kids are. I’d definitely not show to my 7-year-old (call me conservative).

What more can I say about the film? Exceptional, wonderful, or even superb.

My whole family enjoyed the film. It's one worth keeping.

Don''t understand how everyone has fallen for this. How do you get a nice little girl called 'Maleficent' - look up its meaning guys. A girl with horns, and wings with horns and called Maleficent translates as Devil yet everyone accepts the premise. Even the Devil's original name was Lucifer (angel of light) so they could have at least given us some empathy by giving her a nice name. There is no voice of reason throughout the film, no family to which the poor princess could have gone to, and a world of women v. men hence the prince is defunct as you will see. I actually feel sorry for children who watch this and are forced to accept any sign of goodness from the only 'dark' character who shows an interest in a princess who would find something to smile at in hell she is so stupid. Ultimately we have to accept that the devil is not bad after all.

The best move in the hole world

This film will not disappoint....it is an all rounder for big kids and small. Angelina is absolutely brilliant in this movie and it is a perfect retelling of a classic fairy tale. Well worth the watch and was enjoyed by all.

this is a great movie drama,action and magic

Having read the reviews I thought that I would give this a go. Not really into children's films or fairy tails but the thought of looking at Angelina for a couple of hours was enough to get me over that hurdle. She was great and stunning in equal measure. I have to say the rest of the cast were not very interesting. The twist on the fairy tale made the more well known story seem bland. My view is that it should have been more earthy with less computer graphics something more akin to Pans Labyrinth. Great story which was very engaging but the film would have then been lifted to another level if the supporting actors were better and less graphics. What a shame, but still worth a watch.

I won't go into great detail, but I will say this... I'm the last demographic this film was aimed at, but in spite of such things, Angelina Jolie's wonderful turn as Maleficent, kept me fully engrossed and captivated, right up until the end. I doubt family cinema gets much better than this. Another great Disney film.

Excellent movie, as always from Disney.

this film is what Walt Disney is all about . Well done.

The biggest load of feminist, man-hating rubbish that’s ever been dumped onto my computer screen. Purely and simply a vehicle for Jolie’s feminist agenda, all men are evil yet all evil women have a good heart really. And it’s all the fault of men that they’re evil in the first place. And what further condemns this nonsense is the casting of one of Hollywood’s most attractive women as Maleficent and an average-looking (by Sillywood standards) c-movie actress as Sleeping Beauty. Watch the original, it’s a lot better than this waste of time and money.

This film did not get enough credit.

Forget about the Disney badge, and the critics reviews and buy it or rent and enjoy a great film.

Well done to all those behind the movie a great retelling.

I can watch this over and over. Love the build up from peaceful loving guardian angel, to justified anger modified villain, and back again. Angelina Jolie proves yet again how effortless she is in playing any part, but, this one she is made for. Showed a group of children the movie and amazed at how an "unruly mob” :) were brought to quietness and fully absorbed with this much better retelling of the story. A must see. only criticism from my point of view, the true loves kiss should have been as visually awesome as the casting of the spell. That would have earned the sixth star !

Whisk me away to a place where dreams come true and love never fails! Disney could not have picked a better cast and Angie was superb,(her children will enjoy her charming and strong role) Disney yet again teaching us that there is indeed two sides to every tale!

You know its a good movie when you finish the film wanting more!! "into the woods" cannot come quick enough for me!!

An enjoyable and well made film. A delightful story that meshes nicely with Disney's original. For the older child who has watched both films it provides an introduction to perspectives.

AMAZING film great acting Amazing Amazing Amazing

Definitely worth a watch, kept me hooked beginning to end. Good story line. Enjoyed the movie 👍

I literally have nothing bad to say about this movie. I've seen it 3 times already with my friends and family. Great cast, great story. One for the family this Christmas definitely!

She is good at picking good movies and one heck of a actor,cryed laughed and learnt a moral twist too things! Great movie! She never gets it wrong!! Maleficent!

And full of boring cliché!

Moving on!

Very good

Loved it, was captivated from the beginning, it had an almost Tim burton ness to it. will watch it again and again, if you like fairy tales with a twist this is for you.

Couldn't wait for this film to end. It could have been way better. It just goes on and on. If I'd have paid to watch this in the cinema I'd have walked. Angelina Jolly Bobs Pitt ain't all that and has the charisma of a paper towel!

Avoid!

Excellent film it's a must see

This film is beautiful and … quirky. Angelina Jolie is stunning :-)
