Although I have not read the beloved book upon which this film is based, I have been greatly anticipating this film for quite some time. After seeing part one, I naturally want to cast every other book aside and hunker down and read the entire book from cover to cover. I expected this to be decent, but it was beyond that.

The winged Maleficent, rather than notions of the demonic, somehow works as a uniquely beautiful, utterly different kind of creature. Magic is not reduced to some scientific system, but is an intrinsic quality…

production made use of only two actors, and as there are significantly more characters in the story than just two, I was intrigued and excited to see how this had been done.
