Just got back from watching Maleficent. It was good. Not great, "OMG! THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!" but it was good. I was entertained. Sure there are corny bits, some obvious bits you can see a mile away. Even a moment you could tell what was gonna happen and from there guess what will happen after (sorry for being vague but it just came out and I'll wait a bit before doing any spoiler stuff).
You could tell though pretty early on that it was gonna have Maleficent become a anti-heroish character. Not a hero, not a villain but someone who is in between. To be frank though, she really isn't evil. Immature and childish is how I would describe her actions compared to the King she hates. He was evil, he made choices that damned him when he had every opportunity to be a good person but instead chose the path of betrayal.
So if you want a rating or something, I'd give it 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5, hows that? Has some stupid moments but it is an entertaining film if you are bored and want to kill an 1hr 1/2 while seeing really pretty CGI.
