If Maleficent was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

The chemistry in Maleficent is so flat it would fail a high-school lab report.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Maleficent knows its audience.

Maleficent: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Maleficent?
Look, I wanted to love Maleficent. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in Maleficent is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Maleficent was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: Maleficent's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Just got out of Maleficent and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Unpopular opinion: Maleficent is the most overrated film of the decade
Rewatched Maleficent last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
