Review of Maleficent

We finally saw 'Maleficent' the other day. I absolutely loved it ! It's the best twist on a favorite fairy tail I've ever seen. Angelina was perfect in the title role, she made the same character sympathetic, scary and later heartwarming at different times in the story. The actress could express a wide range of emotions with just her eyes and expressions. I anticipated what would awaken Aurora and I was not disappointed. The final resolution to the story was very satisfying too. It's rare lately that a movie leaves me with a big grin at the end as the credits start. I haven't enjoyed a fantasy film this much in a long time, with the exception of 'Oz the Great and Powerful' which I also enjoyed to a slightly lesser degree. I want the 'Maleficent' blue-ray now for my collection. Plus I just read that there are rumors of a sequel ! I'm hoping that's true. I give it 9 out of 10 stars.
